Thunder away from everyday life with 400 hp
On a week-long trip through western Switzerland, we discovered unexpected resilience in the puristic 718 Cayman GTS. And quickly realized why the Porsche has long been considered the secret successor to the 911.
It's not just 911 drivers who may laugh at the Cayman here and there. "Look, baby Porsche," they may whisper with a grin behind their sports steering wheels. But the laughter is on our side when we receive the 718 Cayman test car as the new GTS 4.0. The GTS is not supposed to be quite as uncompromising as the Cayman top model GT4 and is therefore suitable for everyday use.
Nevertheless, thanks to the naturally aspirated engine – one of the last at Porsche – it should appeal to old-school sports fans. With plenty of luggage and a desire for speed, we set off on our very own Tour de Suisse.
We like thatThis much is clear right away: driving up somewhere with the Cayman GTS in fiery "carmine red" without attracting attention is impossible. Even if the flap exhaust is not switched to roaring mode in the city, some people are sure to expect at least one Ferrari or something similar to come around the corner.
The looks are even more astonished when we unload the luggage in front of the hotel. Changeable weather, hiking, wellness and two city trips are planned in French-speaking Switzerland – that's two suitcases, two backpacks and hiking boots. In addition, fine drops from wineries will be added over the course of the test week. A mid-engine like this has its advantages: with two cargo spaces under the front and rear hoods, there is space for everything. It's amazing what the Cayman can handle!
