2018 Porsche 718 Cayman

The new Cayman is the sequel that continues the 718 era.

At their heart, a four-cylinder turbocharged boxer engine beats with the same fighting spirit that delivered countless podium finishes.

In them lives the will to break away from standards.

And to inspire conviction.

So it is entirely appropriate that they, too, should bear these three digits in their name and carry the 718 legend forward.

The new 718 models were made for the sport of it.

They are mid-engined roadsters that unite the sporting spirit of the legendary Porsche 718 with the sports car of tomorrow -- and transfer it to the roads of today's world.

With one goal: to take the everyday out of every day.

Compared with the previous models, the result is a new, decidedly more striking design, an even sportier chassis setup and a host of new performance, comfort and assistance systems.

What is it that makes the new 718 models so special? Their performance, their handling, their design and the generous amount of space afforded by two luggage compartments.

Above all: a mid-engine layout that makes all this possible in the first place.

The engine is positioned no further than 12 in.

behind the driver.

Effect number one: the resounding thump on the back.

Effect number two: the extraordinarily dynamic cornering capabilities, thanks to the car's low and central center of gravity.

The horizontally opposed arrangement of the engine's cylinders also helps to reduce oscillations, which has a positive impact on smooth running.

Another plus for driving dynamics: the concentrated power of the engine is transmitted directly to the rear axle.

How do we best exploit this power? By systematically reducing the weight of the vehicle.

And by optimally distributing the weight left over.

The compact construction of the car as a two-seater plays an important part in this respect.

And that's without sacrifices in terms of comfort and everyday practicality.

However, as soon as the mid-mounted engine starts, there's really only one thing that matters: the world with its countless twists and turns.

And you -- right in the middle of it all.

The new 718 Cayman lets its actions do the talking.

Sporty actions, of course.

As a corner-devouring coupe, it follows a line of its own far removed from fashion trends and four-lane arterials.

In the town certainly.

On the racetrack definitely.

But always for the sport of it.

It's no wonder that the new 718 Cayman doesn't simply carry on from where the 718 GTR Coupe in 1963 left off, but seeks instead to piece together a legend of its own.

With its own mind.

With sporty fighting spirit.

And with every twist and turn.
