The 2014 Porsche Cayman, part of the 981 series, offers an impressive balance of speed, handling, and luxury in a compact sports car package. Powering the Cayman is either a 275-hp 2.7-liter flat-six engine in the base model or a 325-hp 3.4-liter variant in the S trim. Both engines are coupled with a standard six-speed manual transmission, while a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional. The Cayman's rear-wheel-drive layout and mid-engine setup lend it superb agility. This model year introduces a revamped infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, and optional Bose or Burmester sound systems. The Porsche Active Suspension Management system provides enhanced control on the road while the Cayman S adds larger brakes and 19-inch wheels. Safety features are modest but sufficient with front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags.
