2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4

The 718 Cayman is Porsche's mid-engine two-seat coupe, the one that puts the engine behind you for balance. It's the rare sports car that feels just as rewarding at seven-tenths on a back road as it does on a track. The steering is quick and talkative, and the chassis stays flat through corners, so you can place the car exactly where you want. There's a front trunk and a rear cargo area, so you can actually fit a weekend's luggage for two. Its 414 horsepower 4.0L I6 pairs with a six-speed manual and rear-wheel drive, pulling hard past 8,000 rpm and making you earn every smooth upshift. The fixed-back bucket seats and adjustable suspension are standard here, so you get the focused hardware from the factory without checking option boxes.
