Porsche 718 Cayman GTS

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.

Based on 34 recent sales, prices for the 718 Cayman GTS range from $40,000 to $82,718, with an average transaction price around $70,000.
