Porsche 718 Cayman S Manual - One Take

- The Porsche 718 Cayman and Cayman S, like the 718 Boxsters before them, are now powered exclusively by turbocharged four-cylinder engines. And while yes, these engines sound like Subaru engines at low RPM, they make a lot more power and torque than the outgoing engines, and offer endless possibility for cheap tuning. Porsche NA representative Frank Weismann joins Matt on this drive in Austin to talk about the new Cayman S.
Porsche provided airfare, accommodations, and food for this review.
Finally, a rational review of the 718 S turbo. Matt is a true car guy who doesn't suffer from cylinder envy. This car bests its predecessor in every way, which any true car enthusiast should appreciate, but the 'purists' will still crap on it because they need those extra cylinders to compensate for...something.
Ugh. It's too late now, but I just saw the "click analyze to begin now." Sorry kids, That's what I get for editing in a rush.
I clicked analyze but the video paused. lmao
what's its like driving with Mr Anderson.
87 k for four cylinders? No way in hell.
I wonder how many people who are complaining about how Porsche ruined it with the 4 cylinder have actually driven the car. I've driven one and I honestly like how it sounds, and the performance is still way more than you would ever need, even in the base 718 cayman like I drove (I've never driven the S). Exhaust note quality is purely subjective, and from experience I can tell you it sounds better in person than it does on video.
Matt thanks for all your reviews of Caymans. Just got a 2008 Cayman S and I love that thing. It's not pinned-to-your-seat acceleration but for 30grand I got a car that is fast and that corners at speed like an absolute champ. I think its one of the great sports cars.
Its super cool to hear one of the engineers talking about the car. I know you'd mentioned worrying what the audience would think about that but I'm all for it in this case. Thanks for the great content.
I love how every car you pass by in this video is another Porsche lol
Thanks, Matt, for confirming my purchase of a 718S. Torque and drivability are everything.
I look forward to watching this when I get home from work. Love the videos Matt, great content that's superbly entertaining AND informative. Cheers dude.

I own a 2017 Cayman S and find it to be a wonderfully precise car to drive. Probably the finest automobile I've ever driven, owned many different brands, from Corvettes, BMW's and Mercedes, this a brilliant machine well worth the asking price.
I own a 981 Boxster S and recently tried the 718 Boxster S on the track. Differences? The torque from the turbo 4 is great. But that's about it. The rest, I would take my 981 S all day. The sound of the 3.4L flat 6 engine at high RPM and the instantaneous throttle response make up for the joy of driving. Yes, the turbo 4 is faster, no doubt. But if you're looking for a car that has personality and makes you smile when you drive it, in my opinion go with the old naturally aspirated flat 6. After all, it's a fun car.
Nice review. Could be an fun commuter. Thanks Matt
If you ask me this car is the perfect amount of performance for the road. You can push it and have fun, where a lot of the super car stuff when you push it you go to jail. Its light, agile, and fun rather than extreme. More car makers need to pay attention.
I don't remember seeing any other One Take's on Lime Creek Road. I try to drive it at least once a week. Cool to see you made it out here to Austin!
I can't drive mine enough. Amazing ride. Pure joy to drive.
I don't know why I find it so cool to see these One Takes on the roads I drive on all the time. I'd imagine Lime Creek is a great road for a car like this!
What an amazing car, a great value and still very exotic in looks and performance.
