Used 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman Base Car For Sale Tampa FL

The Cayman is designed to be a lightweight, tossable and grin-inducing chassis with serious sports car pretensions. In base form the Cayman is quite fast; but what makes it most attractive is the perfectly balanced handling that most buyers. Put simply, the Cayman handles like a dream, thanks to its lack of weight, its ideal mid-engine setup and high levels of suspension wizardry from some of the best performance engineers in the business.
There are two trim levels for the Cayman: a 'base' 718 Cayman and 718 Cayman S. A 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder "boxer" engine powers the base Cayman while the S trim gets a half-liter more displacement for 350 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque. Both trims can be equipped with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. Heavier-duty components have been added to both to withstand the added torque from the newly turbo-charged engines.

Due to the Cayman's light weight, fuel economy is quite good, scoring an EPA estimated highway rating of 29 mpg, with the Cayman S not far behind at 28 mpg.

Standard items on the base 718 are sufficient, but not particularly luxurious. 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, parking sensors, remote keyless entry, cruise control and air conditioning are included. The audio system includes smart phone integration, HD Radio, 8 speakers, a CD/DVD drive, internal music storage, USB ports and Bluetooth.

The Cayman S adds with 19" wheels, heated mirrors, heated windshield washer jets and HID headlamps.

Among the dizzying array of upgrades, a torque vectoring system is offered as is upgraded power steering, PASM adaptive suspension, ceramic composite brakes, sport exhaust, LED headlights, a racing-style steering wheel and the list goes on.

Convenience options include premium Bose and Burmester sound systems, LED headlights, a 2-zone climate control system, Bluetooth connectivity, a navigation system and a selection of seat upgrades with up to 18-way-power adjustability.

Turbo-charged Performance

Excellent Engineering

Gorgeous Porsche Styling

Porsche's entry-level sports coupe has been broadly redesigned for 2017. The newly updated 718 Cayman, which owes its new name to its race car heritage, is now powered by a pair of turbo-charged 4-cylinder cylinder engines. The redesigned exterior features an aggressive lower roofline, wider front and rear fascias as well as more dramatic side intakes.

The Cayman slots below the 911 and slightly above the Boxster, on which the Cayman is based. It competes with other sports cars in the $60,000 range such as the BMW Z4 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible. While the Cayman may not have the absolute horsepower of some of its rivals, it can keep up just fine, thanks to a lightweight body, exceptional mid-engine chassis dynamics and plenty of Porsche's legendary engineering know-how. Unlike many of its competitors, the Cayman is also an extremely refined vehicle and as such, it's easy to live with day-to-day.
