Fall back in love with the manual transmission in the 2021 Porsche Cayman 718 GTS 4.0.
With subtle design tweaks and an ideal balance between performance, comfort, and driver engagement, Porsche's manual-transmission 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 sits near the top of our favorites list.
The 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 shares its powertrain with the 718 Spyder and GT4 models, albeit with 20 less horsepower.
No turbos here, the latest GTS's 4.0-liter is naturally aspirated, with all the on-tap response and wonderful sounds that come with an atmospheric-breathing flat-six.
This transmission. True, the GTS's standard six-speed manual is not as quick to 60 mph as the optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, but you'll have so much more fun getting there.
Visual cues for the GTS include blacked-out trim, wheels, and smoked head and tail lenses.
The GTS's suspension sits 0.8 inch lower than lesser 718 models.
The GTS's sport exhaust, borrowed from the Spyder/GT4, makes for a better burble and a stirring soundtrack as engine revs climb.
The GTS's sport seats look plain, but they are comfortable, with ample adjustments for both tall and short drivers.
Our Cayman GTS 4.0 test car got to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, the same as the mechanically similar Boxster GTS.
The GTS's standard cast-iron brakes are slightly larger than the Cayman S model's, spanning 13.8 inches in front and 13.0 inches at the rear.
If you want to fancy up the GTS's interior, contrasting accents in light grey or red are optional.
