Most Expensive Porsche Cayman GTS Costs 911 Turbo Money
Jul. 07, 2020 11:20 AM ET by Karl Furlong Pricing / 8 Comments We dug into Porsche's configurator and didn't hold back. We couldn't have been happier when Porsche announced the updated 718 GTS 4.0 twins at the start of the year. With a new 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine replacing the 2.5-liter turbo-four used previously, both the 718 Boxster GTS and the 718 Cayman GTS now produce 394 horsepower, 309 lb-ft of torque, and a soundtrack to go with it. Now, Porsche's online configurator has gone live for both models, so naturally, we wanted to find out just how expensive they can get. Starting with a base Cayman GTS 4.0 at $86,800, we took a deep breath and chose as many optional extras as we could. Being a Porsche, there were many. Bear in mind that while the color scheme we ended up with may not be to your fancy, our goal was to spend as much as possible, not necessarily create the prettiest coupe we could. Porsche Porsche Outside, we started with a custom (unnamed) color option that on its own, adds $11,430 to the base price. Ours defaulted to a distinctive green hue. With that single option, we nearly eclipsed the price of the Cayman GT4. Staying with the exterior, we added 20-inch 911 Turbo wheels and extras like a high gloss black rear wing for $410 and the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus for $1,180. Moving inside, a natural leather interior in Espresso added $3,680 and 18-way adaptive seats another $3,030. Only one package, the Premium Package at $3,600, is available, which adds a Bose sound system, lane change assist, and more. On the performance front, we upgraded to the seven-speed PDK gearbox ($3,730) and also added ceramic composite brakes for $7,410. Because Porsche charges extra for many driver aids, we had to add the likes of adaptive cruise control for $1,670. Porsche Porsche Some options were truly ridiculous, such as $1,040 to clad the owner's manual wallet in carbon fiber. It's also worth noting that we couldn't add absolutely every option because not all options are compatible with each other. Despite this, our fully-loaded Cayman GTS came to a stunning $186,878. This includes additional equipment to the value of $67,865, what Porsche calls Tequipment accessories which added another $30,863, and a delivery fee of $1,350. The total isn't far off a Porsche 911 Turbo, which begins at just over $200,000. While we doubt that anyone would spec a 718 Cayman or Boxster GTS to this extent, the scope of customization is truly mind-boggling. With the more powerful Cayman GT4 hovering at around $100k, our advice would be to add no more than $10k worth of options to the GTS. Any more than this, and you may as well go for the full-fat GT4.

Porsche 718 Cayman Karl Furlong Senior Editor Sweaty-palmed hot laps are fun, but Karl is a gearhead cut from a different cloth - or is that finely stitched Nappa leather? An E23 BMW 7 Series was the first car he fell madly in love with three decades ago, and this affection for Autobahn-conquering luxury sedans has persisted. Following studies in copywriting and journalism, along with stints in TV scriptwriting and marketing that had far too little to do with cars, Karl kept the fire burning by writing for automotive websites on the side, including a Florida-based auto repair shop and another for Porsche enthusiasts. It all came together when he joined CarBuzz in 2019. He has penned some of the latest news, reviews, and features ever since.
