Take a Look – 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman Exterior
Porsche unveiled the third generation Porsche Cayman in 2016. The 982-generation Cayman is closely related to the 718 Boxster. Apart from the roof and rear trunk lid, these two cars look visually identical.

The taut proportions of the 718 Cayman, prominent air intakes at the front and sides and low side profile underscore the car’s increased performance. The redesigned front fascia gives the vehicle a wider and more muscular appearance. Reinforcing this effect are the narrow front lights above the outer cooling air intakes, which incorporate the positioning lights and turn signal indicators. The significantly larger cooling air intakes serve as a distinct symbol of the new turbo engines.
Redesigned Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights are another striking feature of the 718 Cayman. The Bi-Xenon headlights are fitted as standard, while the LED headlights with four-point daytime running lights were available as an option.
The rear fascia of the 718 Cayman has a much wider look due to the accent strip in high-gloss black with integrated Porsche badge between the tail lights. The tail lights, which have been completely redesigned, are distinguished by the three-dimensional technology inside them which is visible through the clear glass.
As an Indication of the Cayman’s Improved Performance
Viewed from the side, the 718 Cayman stands out thanks to its striking fenders and sill covers. With its even more clearly defined edge, the indentation in the door leads to the redesigned air intakes with 2 vanes. The enlarged air intake cover is another indication of the 718 Cayman’s increased performance. The rear fenders are less arched, emphasizing the width of the 718 Cayman.
The 718 Cayman comes standard with an 18-inch wheel, while the 718 Cayman S is fitted with a 19-inch wheel. Other 19- and 20-inch wheels were optionally available. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with a 10 millimeter lower ride height was available as an option on the 718 Cayman and Cayman S. Even sportier suspension is the PASM sport chassis with a 20 millimeter lower ride height.
