The 718 Cayman GTS arrived for the 2018 model year, representing the top performance trim of the new turbocharged flat-four generation. It used an uprated version of the S model's 2.5-liter engine, producing 365 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The GTS package also included desirable features as standard, such as the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with a 10mm lower ride height, making it a compelling value for enthusiasts.
While the switch from a naturally aspirated flat-six was controversial, the 718 GTS won praise for its incredible chassis balance, sharp steering, and immense real-world pace. These cars aren't rare, but their combination of performance and daily usability makes them highly sought after. Collectors and drivers appreciate them as a high point for the turbo-four Cayman before the 4.0-liter flat-six returned in 2020.
Today's market for the 2.5-liter GTS is stable, with an average sale price around $70,000. It offers a significant performance jump over a base or S model without the much higher cost of a GT4. While significant appreciation isn't expected in the short term, strong demand and the model's reputation should prevent major depreciation for well-maintained examples.
Buying Tips
- The GTS came well-equipped, but check for desirable options like the 6-speed manual, full bucket seats, and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB).
- The 2.5L turbocharged engine is stout, but insist on a complete service history. Pay attention to any signs of oil or coolant leaks during inspection.
- Early 718 models can have issues with interior rattles or trim fitment. Listen carefully during the test drive for any persistent noises from the dash or door panels.
- The water-based paint is susceptible to stone chips, especially on the front bumper and hood. Inspect these areas closely and factor in the cost of paint protection film if it's not already applied.
