Overview Porsche is transforming its current lineup of luxury SUVs and sports cars into a veritable stampede of electrified steeds. Before the gas-powered 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster bid farewell, Porsche plans to debut an all-electric 718 EV that's rumored to be available in both hardtop and convertible variants. Few details are available beyond confirmation of its existence, but Porsche did say the electric 718 will ride on a newly developed sports-car platform that works to keep the vehicle as light as possible. Expect a rear-motor-only version to serve as the entry-level 718 EV, while an all-electric GTS equivalent will likely use all-wheel drive to provide additional grip and even brisker acceleration. The 718 EV should have at least 250 miles of driving range, and will likely use a similar 800-volt architecture that allows the large Taycan to DC fast-charge at a rate of up to 270 kWh. We'll update this space as specs become available; we expect the 718 EV to launch sometime in 2025. What's New for 2025? The 718 EV is all-new for 2025 as the Porsche's third electric car, arriving shortly after the launch of all-electric Macan. At a media roundtable in 2023, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said the all-electric sports car would replace the gas-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster, both of which will persist for roughly two years after the EV debuts. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Porsche 718 EV is expected to start around $78,000 and go up to $105,000 depending on the trim and options. Base $78,000 (est) S $85,000 (est) GTS $105,000 (est) This is a shot in the dark, but having experienced the gas-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster so thoroughly, we'd put good money on the base 718 EV providing plenty of thrill and usable range to forgo the wildly premium price of a higher horsepower version. It's still too early to say for certain, but go ahead and prove us wrong, Porsche. Slap another 200 horsepower on top, why don't you? https://www.caranddriver.com/porsche/718-ev

https://www.thedrive.com/news/42806/new-porsche-718-cayman-gt4-rs-laps-nurburgring-quicker-than-last-911-gt3 "New Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Laps Nurburgring Quicker Than Last 911 GT3 The Cayman line is set to get a new halo model with devastating performance. The 718 Cayman GT4 is a highly competent vehicle, but as it turns out, the platform is capable of even more. Enter the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. In the development of this new beast, Porsche did what every good German automaker does, and took it to the Nürburgring. Results were impressive, as you see in the official lap video. With Porsche development driver Jörg Bergmeister behind the wheel, the GT4 RS laid down a 7:09.3 laptime around the 20.832-kilometer Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit, while posting a 7:04.511 lap on the 20.6 km layout. The latter is a full 23.6 seconds quicker than the existing Cayman GT4, making it clear that the RS is no minor upgrade. The laptimes were set with a production model vehicle, though equipped with a racing seat for driver safety. A set of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires were used, which are an available option for the car. Andreas Preuninger and Jörg Bergmeister celebrate after setting a rapid laptime in the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS. It's a rapid laptime for a car that isn't even top of the Porsche range. It compares well with the 6:43.3 second time set on the 20.8 km course by the 911 GT2. It should also let owners walk away from the Tesla Model S Plaid on a single lap, let alone during sustained running. Perhaps most notably, though, it bests the time set by the old 911 GT3, which lapped the course in 7:12.7 back in 2017. "During development, we gave the 718 Cayman GT4 RS everything that characterises a genuine RS: lightweight construction, more downforce, more power and, of course, an even higher level of responsiveness and feedback to driver inputs," said Andreas Preuninger, who holds the title of Director GT Model Line at Porsche. Preuninger also noted the value of testing at the Nürburgring, adding that "The fantastic lap time of the Nordschleife is impressive proof of how clearly noticeable these improvements in driving dynamics are." Porsche hasn't yet revealed the exact specifications of the GT4 RS. However, based on Preuninger's statements, expect more than the 414 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque of the GT4, and a curb weight a little less than 3295 lbs. Speculation in the car world is rife, with expectations the GT4 RS could boast up to 500 horsepower. These figures are backed up by little hard information, however, so should be taken with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, the obvious aero mods on the GT4 RS should help with sticking the car to the track in high-speed cornering. Bergmeister refers to the car as an "uncompromising driving machine," noting that "it feels as nimble as a go-kart on mountain roads, yet is impressively stable and well-balanced on the racetrack." We'd certainly love to take a go-kart out on the Tail of the Dragon, but it likely wouldn't be anywhere as near quick as the GT4 RS. Bergmeister's opinion carries some weight, but not only due to his fast laptimes. As a development driver, he spent over 500 hours behind the wheel during the car's development. The GT4 RS will be fully revealed at its world premier in November, but for now, marvel at the hot tour of Germany's most famous racing circuit. The first Cayman to bear the RS moniker seems like it will live up to the badge."

Singapore drivers have earned themselves a bad reputation in Malaysia after a certain someone made headlines for a road rage incident that occurred at Tuas Second Link. Since then, many have began keeping a watchful eye on Singapore-registered cars and the way Singapore drivers behave on foreign soil. Unfortunately, a Singapore Porsche convoy in Malaysia caught the attention of a local driver who filmed them driving "recklessly" and subsequently made a police report on them. Watch the video here: What Happened? A group of Singapore-registered Porsches were travelling on a single-lane road in Malaysia, intending to drive in a "convoy style" configuration. To maintain their convoy configuration, several Porsches overtook the cam car driver, who was in the middle of the Porsche convoy. The cam car driver deemed the overtaking manoeuvre by the Porsche drivers to be "reckless". So unsurprisingly, the Malaysian driver used his mobile phone to film the overtaking incident while driving and subsequently made a police report about them. In all honesty, I felt the overtaking manoeuvres by the Porsche drivers were not reckless at all (despite a few of them crossing the double solid white lines). Here's why: 1) They ensured that the traffic in the opposite direction was clear before performing the overtaking manoeuvre; and 2) They performed the overtaking manoeuvre swiftly yet safely, which did not cause the cam car to perform any abrupt braking. Wanted by Malaysian Authorities Malaysian authorities are now attempting to track down the 7 Porsche drivers involved in the "reckless" incident. Below is the original media statement by the Kota Tinggi District Police Chief, Johor: Here's the translated version of the media statement: Netizens' Comments Cam car driver obviously forgot to "ownself check ownself". My exact sentiments. After the stolen Honda Civic Type R incident and the Hyundai Elantra, whose wheels got stolen in KSL City Mall, it is not uncommon for more Singaporeans to take additional precautions while travelling in Malaysia. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

If you are in the market for a sports car, this is one of the best time to get one as there are plenty of fresh choices around. See how the perform in a drag race together. Shot by Carwow, we have four cars in this race with the first one being the 365bhp Porsche Cayman GTS with a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four as its powertrain. It is the default class leader and is expected to win but with a 394bhp Audi TT RS Roadster included in the test, it might have its work cut out. Of course, we have to have the Toyota Supra included in the test and with a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six that is believed to be underrated at 335bhp, it should not do too bad. Lastly, the guys at Carwow threw in a tuned Alpine A110 as a wild card but with 'only' 300bhp thanks to Litchfield, it looks like it would be last in the race. Or would it be...

Watch the Porsche Cayman and Subaru WRX STI try to outdrag each other on an empty runway. They might not be direct rivals, but they are currently one of the better performance cars out there. Interestingly, both have Boxer engines and use six-speed manuals but the similarity ends there. Even though the WRX STI is 130kg heavier than the Cayman, it has all-wheel drive and 30bhp more. So who do you think will be the faster car? http://dai.ly/x20d593_2015-subaru-wrx-sti-vs-2014-porsche-cayman-standing-mile_auto

There's a unique new way for Porsche owners, male and female, to give their car its own special identity. Where the model type normally goes, you can now opt to have the wording of your choice in the same style of lettering. Normally, instead of the model names such as Cayenne, Turbo, Carrera, Cayman or Boxster, the name of any owner, his or her girlfriend or boyfriend, dog, company or anything at all can be put on the car: from Bruce to Michelle, from David to Roxanne to Jade and so on. Furthermore, creative thinking can lead to all sorts of amusing phrases, with endless possibilities. Phrases like: 'My Seventh' or 'Thanks Daddy' 'Not Leased' and 'Follow Me' are just some examples. With its own unique wording, a Porsche becomes just a little more exclusive and that's what this unique new service is all about. The lettering can also be ordered in different colors - black, silver, and even gold - at www.nameyourporsche.com, where you'll also find a range of examples and full information about quality, price, and delivery all over the world.

Spotted a Buaya, looks like yours, in manual stick... On sale by a Guniang.. Miss Tan Low mileage, high spec, looks like good buy, if Miss Tan is not smoking.... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=385756&DL=1000

As above, hand getting itchy and am ridding either the CX-7 or the MX-5....changing to either 1. Boxster or 2. Cayman. Anyone with experience on these 2 and what are the differences between the S and non-S? Me not going to the Porsche forum as they are quite a bunch of upstarts nia..... All views welcome. Thanks in advance

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg..._a_carrera.html Not sure what tipped the STOMPer off (or whether she's saboing a "friend"), but yes, the car is actually a Cayman according to the LTA website. If the owner actually bodykitted a Cayman S into a 911, I'm wondering: 1) WHY?!!! 2) Why a 996 and not a 997 or even a 991? 3) The technical details, like engine placement. If I see something like this, my logical supposition would be that they guy has a 996 and a Cayman, and just swapped plates for the fun of it. I can't conceive of anyone actually mangling a Cayman to make a pseudo-911, even though both models are beautiful in their own right.

Sounds inviting!

It is now the Porsche Cayman's turn to have a lightweight, racier version much like its bigger brother , the Porsche 911. No RS version as yet though, but what what recently unveiled at the Los Angeles Motor Show is the Cayman R. The Cayman R gets the usual stripped out treatment which Porsche does for its ultra-performance versions. This means that the car will have no air-conditioning (although you could opt for it again

Porsche. This company is somehow criticized on the design of their cars of late. The reason for this is that their cars look almost the same. You can clearly see the DNA of the 911 in the Cayenne, Boxster, Cayman and the Panamera. Like the 911 gave birth to all of them from its tailpipes. Or like most critics state, lazy designers using the same template for all Porsches until they all look the same. They have the same rounded rear and nearly the same silhouette from the side. Of course you can tell that the Cayenne is an SUV or that the Panamera is a 4 door sedan, but they basically have the same shape. But is it really true that Porsche have lazy designers? Now, after some thought over a cup of home brewed Darjeeling tea I have come up with an answer. You see, Porsche in the 1970s did rock the 911 establishment by coming up with supposed replacement models for the lower end and upper end of the markets. Cars like the 924, 944, 968 and the 928 were brought out from the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s with some success but none could ever usurp the sales of the 911. No matter how good journalists at that point of time said of the 968 or the 928 would change the minds of Porsche 911 loving people who continued buying 911s regardless of the fact that its rear engined design meant that it was tail happy and loved putting itself through hedges and ditches backwards due to its inherent design characteristics (or flaws). This same people actually liked the shape of the 911 as they would have also tried the 928 in the showrooms at that point of time but still bought the flawed car. Somehow, people liked the slightly bulbous shape of the 911 and the sound of the water-cooled flat 6 engine so much so that they refused to change their minds and purchase what even Porsche thought was the better car at the time. Of course, this meant that the 928 and the 968 (which was the final version of the 924/944 series) had to be discontinued. Porsche then launched the Boxster, which was mid engined but looked so much like its big brother and was a sales success. It wasn't as though Porsche didn't try the 'budget Porsche' way as they had done so with the 924 in the 1970s but Porsche fans took to it like a duck to water and it became Porsche's success story. Porsche's car lineup then included the extremely successful Cayenne SUV, which is actually weird looking in some angles but somehow managed to capture the hearts and souls of people who were never even fans of the 911 in the first place. This success story has since continued till today with the Panamera. Some critics say this cars look ugly, or lazily designed but you will notice that the Porsche 911 design is timeless and a design classic. Its design clues are so recognizable that even a person who does not like cars will recognise a Porsche when they see one. You see, Porsche has basically done a Rolex Sports watch. Take for example the Rolex Submariner (photo above). It has remained basically the same since the 1950s, throughout the 1960s, through Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Dalton as James Bond's watch choice and it still is a highly respected diver's watch with the trademark Oyster case to this day. Every few years Rolex will spruce it up a little by rounding off an edge or two or make it slightly chunkier but it still looks the same and is still easily recognizable. Porsche too had decided to evolve slowly and not change anything drastically but just rearrange the design of the car a little year after year. The engine is still in the wrong place after all of these years but the suspension has been improved until the 911 can bend the laws of physics and corner like its on rails, or if it does break away the tail is more progressive and won't kill its owner. It is the same with the Cayenne and Boxster. Both of which are already in its 2nd generation form, and both looks like nothing had actually changed. Rolex, whether or not watch savants loathe the brand is one of the biggest brand names in the world and this fact cannot be denied. So Porsche is the sports car version of Rolex. In not so many words of course. - Sea Dweller DeepSea - Basically a Submariner on steroids and with the new super Oyster case. But at a glance it is still recognizable as a derivative of the Rolex Submariner. The Porsche silhouette is already considered a classic automotive design and it is the same with the Rolex Submariner. Most of humanity (or if you don't agree, both Porsche and Rolex owners/buyers only) have decided that both designs have reached a pinnacle that cannot be altered but merely refined bit by bit in accordance with the taste of the period. And it is this fact I hereby state that while a Porsche will always look good or will never look good, or that it has lazy designers, depending on your point of view; it will keep on selling Porsches looking like what they do as people love them in that shape and they may never buy a Porsche if it looked like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. Remember, Porsche tried, and failed. So if it ain't broke, why fix or change it? Now Let me give you another example. The BMW Mini. You cannot really tell the difference between the 1st generation and the 2nd generation when it comes to its looks. You can't really change the look of a Mini as that is what customers look for. 80% Cabin , 20% engine, large wrapround glass area and a roof that looks separated from the body. That's a Mini and that's how a 2 door, Traveller/Clubman and how the future 4 door versions will look. Its the same design on different models. And BMW Mini designers are also lazy I presume? - An ancient Porsche 911 - A Boxster 1st Generation - A 2nd Generation Boxster. You'd have to really know your Porsches if you can tell this one from the 1st Gen version if you only took a glance at it. - Mini Clubman, it still looks like a Mini even though its longer

Hi guys... BOTH ABOUT THE SAME PRICE 230K ++ My boss know I car lover so he throw me this questions....but I also blur... Which one will you go for??

Just spent 6hrs with my partner to detail this cayman. What a sexy ride! It was a joy going over the curves while applying the sealant and seeing the finish. Here's the process: 1) Wash and clay 2) Orange LC pad with 3M ultrafina and Meg's Paint conditioning creme on PC 3) Grey LC pad with 3M Ultrafina for the "jewelling" effect on PC 4) Wash and Blow Dry (kekeke, used a leaf blower to dry the car to minimise chances of scratching the car cos the paint is quite soft) 5) 1 layer Ultima Paint Guard Plus 6) Exterior trim dressing Heres some pics of the defects: After polishing:

Both are pure 2 seater coupes, manual 6 speeds and around the same price. Z4M has higher horsepower and torque but heavier, so around the same sprint performance. Cayman S is mid engined and has better skipad figures. Although BMW say Z4M has near perfect weight distribution, some reviewers have said the entire car revolves around the long front end, whereas the Cayman S has a perfect centre pivot. Don't have the opportunity to test both, so just talking on paper only. Purely for discussion's sake, which would you choose?

you should know who you all are, pls don't do it during peak hour on the BKE + PIE, i enjoyed the mini show, but not when traffic is like that la

THE Porsche Cayman seems to have opened up a new market for the German sports car manufacturer, with the new model netting 15 orders here even before it arrives in the first quarter of 2006. Authorised distributor Stuttgart Auto said the majority of those who have booked a Cayman without driving it are first-time Porsche buyers. 'Most of them are new to the Porsche brand but because of the worldwide publicity about the Cayman, they are well-informed about the car's features and performance,' said Karsono Kwee, the executive chairman of Eurokars Group, which owns Stuttgart Auto. 'They don't need a test drive before buying the car.' A 10 per cent cash deposit is required for the $303,888 (with COE) Cayman, which is a two-seater coupe based on the popular Boxster roadster. It may have the same mid-engined layout and underpinnings as the Boxster, but it is considered a separate model in the Porsche line-up. The Cayman has a newly developed 3.4-litre, 295 hp flat-six engine which is more powerful than the 2.7-litre engine of the Boxster or the 3.2-litre unit of the Boxster S. And because it has a fixed roof, it does not require the additional strengthening of the roadster body, thus making the coupe lighter than the topless model and further enhancing the power-to-weight ratio. Acceleration from zero to 100 kmh takes 5.4 seconds and the recorded top speed is 275 kmh. Mr Kwee believes the excitement generated by the Cayman could be due to the lack of direct competition. 'So far, there is no direct competitor in this segment because it is a high-performance two-seater coupe that is just over $300,000,' he said. The other German offerings available include the BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK convertibles. Mr Kwee added that the marque's popularity was boosted by a quarterly sale organised by Stuttgart Auto for its pre-owned Porsche cars. And last year, the '2 plus 2' warranty programme was introduced, extending the usual two-year new car warranty with another two years of pre-owned warranty for a total of four years of back-up by the authorised distributor. 'This provides reassurance and peace of mind to our owners and is one of the reasons for the increased popularity of Porsche,' he said. With the Cayman, Porsche now has a better model mix with a four-model line-up. The coupe slots in between the most expensive Boxster - the Boxster S, priced at $279,888 - and the entry-level 911, the 911 Carrera at $414,888. Porsche also has an SUV model, the Cayenne. In 2008, a four-seater four-door sports car called the Panamera will be unveiled. This article first appeared in BT on August 31, 2005 http://motoring.asiaone.com.sg/arti...050907_001.html

I know status different... Just wanna find out more about this PORSCHE and any bros here owns one and tell me about the feeling...keke

This sporty two-seater, based on the Boxster series, boasts a newly developed six-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of 3.4 liters and an output of 295 bhp (217 KW). The assembly delivers an impressive performance: high and constant propulsive power at lower and medium speeds. The sports car
