Tested on the streets and roads of São Paulo, the 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 impressed by offering a rare combination of pure sports performance, precise handling, and striking design. Priced from $755,000, the model that was tested with exclusivity features an elegant look in gray paint and stands out with its 20-inch black matte sports wheels, which further accentuate the visual appeal of the coupe.
Under the hood, the 718 GTS 4.0 boasts a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine, capable of delivering 400 horsepower and 430 Nm of maximum torque. The power of the mechanical assembly is perceived immediately: the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in just 3.9 seconds, and the sports car reaches 200 km/h in 13.7 seconds, with a top speed of 288 km/h.
But the big difference of the Cayman GTS is not just in the numbers. With a weight of 1,435 kg and well-proportioned dimensions (4,405 mm in length, 1,994 mm in width with mirrors, and 1,276 mm in height), the car offers an exceptional dynamic balance. The steering is communicative, the brakes respond with precision, and the chassis provides the necessary control for those who enjoy driving with emotion, whether in the city or on roads with more winding sections.
In São Paulo, the car showed its versatility: comfortable to the extent possible for urban use and, at the same time, instigating when opportunities to accelerate arise. The roar of the six-cylinder engine is enveloping, delivering a sensory experience that few models in the category can offer today — even more so in times of downsizing and electrification.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 is, therefore, more than a car with an impressive technical sheet. It is a machine made for those who value the pleasure of driving, with a package that combines design, performance, and the traditional engineering precision of the German brand.
And if you are one of those who enjoy driving experiences, this is the right model to take to the track day, especially in safe autodromes like those we have in Brazil, such as Interlagos and Velocitta.
