Porsche Cayman

Name: 2007 Porsche Cayman
Brand: Porsche

EPA MPG: NA

CR's Take

Porsche used the Boxster platform as the basis for the Cayman coupe. Power comes from a midmounted, 2.7-liter, flat-six engine that produces 245-hp. The higher-performance Cayman S has 295 hp, placing it between the Boxster and 911 in terms of price and performance. Both five- and six-speed manuals are available. A five-speed automatic is optional. The fixed-roof coupe seats two passengers and uses a hatchback design that increases the rear storage area compared with the Boxster. The front trunk found in the Boxster remains in the Cayman.

Model History

2014-2016

2014 Redesign Year

An all-new Cayman arrived for 2014 with more power, a longer wheelbase and a wider track. Both the base and S are offered with a manual or automated manual transmissions. Handling is excellent, even with the electric steering and ride quality is not punishing.

2006-2013

2006 Redesign Year

Porsche used the Boxster platform as the basis for the Cayman coupe. Power comes from a mid-mounted horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine. The Cayman S is the higher-performance version, placing it between the Boxster and 911 in terms of price and performance. Both five- and six-speed manuals are available; a five-speed Tiptronic automatic optional. The fixed-roof coupe seats two passengers and uses a hatchback design that allows for more rear storage than the Boxster. Like the Boxster, the Cayman also has a front trunk.
