2014 Porsche Cayman Base

The Cayman is Porsche's mid-engine coupe, the one that feels most like a pure sports car in the lineup. Its mid-engine balance makes it beautifully neutral at the limit, and the steering is alive in your hands. The ride stays composed on rough pavement, though you'll feel the firmness that comes with serious cornering ability. The Base Cayman gives you the pure mid-engine layout and Porsche's sharpest steering for less than the S, with the same chassis composure and a slightly lighter front end. Its 2.7L I6 makes 275 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, sending power to the rear wheels for a balanced, engaging drive that rewards smooth inputs. The SPORT button sharpens throttle response and holds gears longer, making the car feel more eager without any option boxes checked.
