Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six Returns
The 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 marks the return of the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine to the Cayman range, producing 400 horsepower and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque.
0–100 km/h in Just 4.0 Seconds
With the optional PDK dual-clutch transmission, the GTS 4.0 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 4.0 seconds, while the manual version takes about 4.5 seconds — both offering thrilling acceleration.
Shared Engine with the GT4
The GTS 4.0 uses a slightly detuned version of the same engine found in the 718 Cayman GT4, offering GT-level performance in a more everyday-friendly package.
Six-Speed Manual Standard
A 6-speed manual gearbox comes standard, emphasizing driving purity and mechanical engagement — though the PDK is available for quicker shifts and convenience.
PASM Sport Suspension Standard
The car comes equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport, which lowers the ride height by 20 mm and delivers sharper handling without sacrificing comfort.
Sport Exhaust for Maximum Sound
The GTS 4.0 includes a standard sport exhaust system, delivering a rich, naturally aspirated sound that’s a major highlight of the driving experience.
Track-Ready Yet Daily-Usable
It strikes a perfect balance between track-day performance and road-going usability, making it a true driver’s car for both everyday use and weekend fun.
Sport Chrono Package as Standard
All GTS 4.0 models come with the Sport Chrono Package, including launch control (with PDK), a performance display, dynamic engine mounts, and selectable driving modes.
GTS Styling Cues
The GTS 4.0 features subtle blacked-out elements, darkened lights, unique wheels, GTS badging, and optional Alcantara-trimmed interior for a sporty yet refined look.
One of the Last of Its Kind
As electrification advances, the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 stands as one of the last mid-engine, naturally aspirated, manual Porsche sports cars — making it a future classic.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS (982) is the Goldilocks of mid-engine Porsches, striking the perfect balance between the base 718's agility and the GT4's hardcore nature. With a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six (400 HP), PASM sport suspension, and standard manual transmission, it’s the ultimate driver’s Porsche—more engaging than a 911 Carrera S and more livable than a GT4.

4. Market Trends
📈 Appreciation/Depreciation
Manual GTS 4.0 models rising ~8% yearly (last NA Cayman).
PDK cars stable (great for daily drivers).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Too good to be true" deals often have hidden accident damage.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
Listen for bore scoring (cold-start metallic rattle).
Test clutch uptake (heavy in traffic but should be smooth).
Check PASM for leaks (suspension rebuilds are costly).
📄 Paperwork:
Porsche Digital Service Record (no gaps!).
No ECU tuning flags (TD1 voids warranty).
Fun Fact: The GTS 4.0 revs to 7,800 RPM; 500 RPM higher than the base 4.0 in the Spyder/GT4!
Manual vs. PDK?
Manual: Future classic, +15% value over PDK long-term.
PDK: Faster shifts, better for traffic-heavy regions.
