The original Porsche 718 may have made a name for itself by out-maneuvering the competition, but the 2021 718 Cayman proves that it can now out-power the competition as well.
In 1957, the original 718 made its debut at the 24-Hours Of Le Mans with legendary race car drivers behind the wheel. The following year, it finished first in class and third overall by out-maneuvering much of the competition. However the Porsche didn’t stop there. Instead, it went on to earn first and second place at Targa Florio and the European Hill Climb Championship. Though short lived, the 718 won a legendary spot in automotive racing history.
Starting with the introduction of the Boxster in 1996, Porsche made a tradition of fitting its Boxster and Cayman models with a choice of naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engines. Moving into the respective fourth and third generations, presumably with the original 718s in mind, the cars now carried the 718 moniker and a turbocharged flat-4 engine. Despite losing two cylinders the cars now produced more power than ever before and featured a suspension that earned the new Cayman and Boxster models the reputation of being some of the best handling cars.
