Porsche released the first video footage of the new -inevitably- turbocharged 718 Cayman sports car.
Four-cylinder turbo boxer engines found their place eventually in the Cayman, with Porsche adding the ‘718’ name in the model’s designation.
Entry-level models will get the turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four unit which makes
296hp (300PS) and 280lb ft (380Nm) of torque while S models benefit from a
2.5-litre producing 345hp (350PS) and 310lb ft (420Nm) of torque.
The larger engine uses a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry, a technology previously used only on the 911 Turbo, and a wastegate. Porsche says that a 718 Cayman with the optional PDK transmission is now capable of accelerating from
zero to 62mph in 4.7 seconds, with S models dropping the time down to 4.2 seconds for the same procedure. Top speed is rated at 170mph for the 718 Cayman and 177mph for the 718 Cayman S.
