Porsche introduced the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 for the 2020 model year as a direct answer to enthusiasts who missed the sound and response of a naturally aspirated flat-6. The car features a detuned version of the 4.0-liter engine found in the Cayman GT4, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK transmission. It was instantly praised for bringing back the character that many felt was missing from the standard 4-cylinder 718 models.
The GTS 4.0's collectibility comes from its position as the ideal all-arounder in the 718 lineup. It provides the GT4's incredible powertrain in a more usable, road-focused package without the aggressive aerodynamics or track-stiff suspension. This balance, combined with the availability of a manual gearbox, makes it a prime target for purists looking for a modern yet analog driving experience. Many see it as a future classic, representing one of the last great naturally aspirated sports cars from Porsche.
Market values for the GTS 4.0 are very strong, with an average sale price of $104,816 across 118 transactions. These cars often trade for at or above their original sticker price, especially for well-optioned examples with a manual transmission. Its desirability and limited production numbers suggest that values will remain high as the industry moves toward electrification.
Buying Tips
- Manual or PDK: The 6-speed manual is rarer and more desirable for collectors, often fetching a premium. The PDK is quicker and easier for daily use. Check clutch life on manual cars.
- Desirable Options: Look for cars with Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), full carbon fiber bucket seats, and the GTS Interior Package, as these significantly affect value and desirability.
- Service Records: A complete and documented Porsche dealer service history is essential. The 4.0L engine is stout, but proper maintenance is key to its longevity.
- DME Report: For manual transmission models, insist on a DME report from a Porsche technician. This report shows engine operating hours and any over-rev events, providing insight into how the car was driven.
Based on 118 sales, prices have ranged from $4,000 for significant outliers to $135,495 for top-spec examples.
