Price & Features
With a hefty price tag of $61,850. The new 2022 Cayman unlocks the possibility of a driving thrill which can only be fulfilled by a Porsche engineered car. And if you really opt in to buy one, we’d suggest you go for the GTS to get the best out of your money.
We’d pony up for the GTS 4.0 model to unlock the sweeter flat-six engine. We’d also keep the standard manual transmission because it’s more fun to operate than the auto. Plus, every GTS comes with desirable performance equipment, including the adjustable and nicely bolstered Sport Seats Plus, a snorty exhaust system, an adaptive sport-tuned suspension, and black 20-inch wheels.
It also boasts the Sport Chrono package, which brings a limited-slip differential, brake-based torque vectoring, and the obligatory clock on top of the dashboard. We’d also recommend taking advantage of the Porsche Experience Center. For $395 (plus a $50 damage waiver fee), you will receive coaching and track time in your new Porsche at either the Atlanta or Los Angeles location. If you don’t live in those areas, you can travel and book time in one of Porsche’s vehicles instead. Prices for those experiences range from as low as $400 to as high as $900 depending on location and model.
