The Porsche 982 is the internal designation of the fourth generation Boxster/Cayman (third generation Cayman) made by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. With the switch to a new turbocharged flat-four engine the marketing name for the models was changed to Porsche 718, in reference to the 718, which won the Targa Florio race in 1959 and ...

For a while at least, it seemed like I wasn’t missing much. And forgoing hobbies and interests frees up a lot of time. My checking account remained balanced, the grass was mowed every week, and the grocery list was maintained to just a few items. I was generally content, if not a bit bored. And then one summer day she appeared from nowhere; a stunn...
Deliberately positioned between the Boxster and the legendary 911 Carrera, the Cayman filled much more than just a hole in the marketplace. It allowed mere mortals to dream; a possibility of something exclusive but tangible. Though familiar, the Cayman had lines and curves that were uniquely compelling. And it spoke to an undiscovered market of whi...
Some could argue that Porsche dropped the ball with the Cayman; they should have increased the horsepower to complement its extraordinary design. Conspiracy theorists alleged that this might have challenged her older sibling, the 911 Carrera. And Porsche would never threaten its corporate flagship. The Cayman is first and foremost a mid-engine, rea...
In a marketing move bordering on genius, Porsche introduced the “S” version prior to releasing the base Cayman almost a year later. This was somewhat unusual but became a standard for future releases from Porsche (witness the recent Macan debut). The entry level Cayman was marginally cheaper with reasonably comparable performance. By offering this ...
Things cruised along smoothly with brisk sales and continued positive press. You would think Porsche might have left well enough alone (at least for a few more years when original owners might look to upgrade). But in 2009, the second generation Cayman was unveiled. It was available in the base and S models, and often referred to as more of an impr...
Earlier in 2013, Porsche released what they referred to as the third generation Cayman. This is somewhat a controversial description in that the two versions described above as Generation 1 and 2 are often portrayed as the same production line since the designs are virtually identical. I will take sides with Porsche in that there was such an enormo...
Controversial electro-mechanical power steering now replaces the old hydraulics. Many have criticized this move, and the jury is still out on that upgrade with two camps of opinion; those that love the new feel, and those that loathe it. Other technical features like PTV brake-induced vectoring and active transmission mounts stiffen in cornering wi...
So where does this put the Cayman in Porsche’s grand strategy? While there will forever be comparisons between the Cayman and the Carrera, there is little doubt the 911 will remain the corporate cornerstone; the product that eternally and undeniably defines the Porsche vision. But you have to at least consider that the top of the line Cayman is sti...
The Cayman could be considered responsible for a whole new class of devotees; those with an obsession for purpose, an insistence on quality and an appreciation for value, all without alienating existing customers. How so? As a Cayman owner, I am not the first to have said I would think about owning a Boxster (although I don’t care for convertibles)...

The 718 models were made for the sport of it. They are mid-engined roadsters that unite the sporting spirit of the legendary Porsche 718 with the sports car of tomorrow – and transfer it to the roads of today’s world. With one goal: to take the everyday out of every day.
