For Sale: 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2017 Porsche 718 Cayman Coupe

"Those opting for the base 718 Boxster-as Porsche says about 55 percent of Boxster buyers do-should know they don't give up much in terms of real world performance with the 2.0 liter engine. The baby engine still offers up plenty of low end grunt and is still happy to sing all the way to its redline, just like the 2.5 liter mill in the Boxster S. The base 718 Boxster is a damn good car." Motor Trend, April 2016

For consignment, a 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman coupe with a title verified 39,942 actual miles. Here's a stunning white coupe with an easy going automatic transmission and optional PDK paddle shifters. Twenty years into production, the Stuttgart mid engine car has evolved into an even better well balanced sports car that was good in 2006, and great in 2017.

Exterior
This fourth gen Cayman wears a shimmering coat of Carrara White Metallic, adorning a body that's not far from the third gen but artfully tweaked for a new look; most notably, a black band slides between the tail lights. The side intake ducts are also bold and black and hint at the design originally inspired by the legendary 550 when ducts were placed higher on the hips in early renditions. A subtle Coke bottle shape emerges in the low, side profile of the car where the steep rake of the windshield becomes apparent over the gently sloping hardtop. 19-inch 10 spoke wheels dress up the profile and wear newer 40 series ZR rated tires providing ample grip while the sport mirrors gain inspiration from those of the GT3. In front, the enviable gold Porsche crest interrupts the smooth white wedge that tops the proportion air intakes of the front end while smoke backed headlight cling flush to the corners. Imperfections are few in the pearl paint and include some inclusions, touched up chips, bodywork on the front apron, and a partially detached front air dam.

Interior
Quality materials abound on the inside beginning with door panels that are a complex mix of materials, shapes, and features where form and function collide, all in black. High back leather bucket seats both enjoy electronic adjustments and thigh support and the leather wrapped steering wheel goes above and beyond your average sport steering wheel, perfectly contoured to the hand, as you would expect from this quality driving machine. Another clue that this is a driver's car is the prominent tachometer front and center in the instrument cluster which is a trio of overlapping cylinders including one with an electronic screen. The center stack provides a nicely sized touchscreen over a series of buttons, knobs, and toggles neatly integrated into the waterfalling stack while the AM/FM/CD radio has Bluetooth and XM capability. The control panel transitions to the shifter which perfectly fits the hand and is almost artistic in its execution. Tight black carpet covers the floor nicely and is protected by fitted mats, while a plastic lined "frunk' is surprisingly deep and useful and the rear hatch storage is also an efficient use of cubic feet.

Drivetrain
The hidden engine is accessible by removing panels and latches beginning behind the seat, a process generally reserved for your expert Porsche technician. There you will find a 2.0 liter turbo boxer 4 cylinder rated at an impressive 300 horsepower and of course, fuel injected. A 7-speed PDK automatic is on board and sends power classic sportscar style to the rear axle and a 3.62 final drive ratio.

Undercarriage
Characteristic Porche belly pans create a streamlined environment underneath where we find everything super clean with no dirt, no oil, and surface rust reserved for a single bolt on a suspension component. The dual exhaust travels a short distance to original equipment mufflers which send a pipe that meets in the middle and leaves the underside via the epic, center exit exhaust tip. MacPherson struts are the main components of the front and rear suspension. Naturally, power disc brakes are on board and clearly visible through the wheels.

Drive-Ability
We are met with fulfilled expectations upon driving the car, which does everything well and looks good doing it. Even in this "base" form, it's still a sub 5 second 0-60mph car and its ergonomic interior does its job to make you a part of the car, not just a bystander. As a modern, pampered car, all functions on board operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
