DIVA Drives

The display consists of an analogue speedometer as well as another display on the right. Here one can change the display to navigation, music, smartphone integration and more. Enthusiasts with a passion for dynamic driving are assisted by the Porsche Track Precision App (PTPA), which enables one to automatically record, display and analyse driving data on a smartphone. A standard 7” touchscreen display is present on the centre console. We found the operating system to be extremely intuitive and responsive with clear graphics. When it comes to sports cars however, the truth is always told on the tarmac.
As we put foot to pedal, the raspy sounding engine was music to our ears. The power output has been increased to 365 hp (269 kW) thanks to a newly developed air intake-duct and an optimised turbocharger for the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine and believe us when we say, you can feel it! This GTS model has a maximum torque of 430 Nm, and when equipped with the PDK and Sport Chrono Package, can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, achieving a top speed of 290 km/h!
We were most relieved to feel how much control we had driving this car. The grip on the corners gave us a sense of driving freedom as the vehicle hugged the road, never showing any signs of strain. The ride was smooth and powerful, just as one would expect from a Porsche.

This new mid-engine Cayman is available with a manual six-speed transmission or optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). A range of features also come as standard, including the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear differential lock and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which lowers the ride height by ten millimetres, adding to the cornering control.
Our conclusion: Porsche have once again produced a high quality, visually beautiful and exciting vehicle that can compete with all rivals in the segment. In fact, it may be the most fun of all to drive.
