The 718 Cayman S (982) is Porsche's mid-engined coupe, introduced in 2016 with a turbocharged 2.5L flat-four (350 hp, later 350 hp in 2018+ refinements) replacing the naturally aspirated flat-six of the 981. Its rigid chassis, near-50/50 weight distribution and communicative steering are widely regarded as benchmark-level for the class. It marks the transition from naturally aspirated to turbocharged four-cylinder power at the entry end of the Porsche range, making it a pivotal and debated model among enthusiasts.
The 982 Cayman S pairs a fixed-roof, mid-engine layout with exceptional chassis balance, delivering handling purity that rivals far more expensive cars. As the last generation before full electrification of the 718 line, it carries growing significance as one of the final combustion-engined mid-engine Porsches in this segment.
