      I assume you don’t mean on my Miami Blue spec? That would be a bit much I think having blue, yellow and red. But on this car it’s been optioned very nicely, certainly suits the silver very well.

    very cool review 👍🏽 it's a shame they couldn't build yours. Looking forward to the next one mate, cheers.

      Thanks! I’d love to do a Targa in the same spec but that’s another £60K so definite hotels out of budget for now.

    The 718 GTS 4.0 Cayman and Boxster are absolute future classics. With that perfect flat 6 4.0 liter engine and manual transmission all in mid-engine platform. Just perfect at 100-110 US. Nowhere to go but up! Great car.

    That Miami Blue is gorgeous, to the extent that if my car were that colour I think it would take over my entire life and from that point forward every accessory I own would need to follow the colour scheme... watch, phone case, laptop, clothes, would all need to be that blue. And then I would drive around listening to Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee).

      That would certainly be a way to identify with your car at a meet! And here I am wondering if my Aston Martin gilet is a bit much. 😂

    You got the engine configuration completly wrong, its a flat six Not a straight six engine. A straight six Zylinder engine wouldnt fit in a cayman at all…

    What’s the price of this car with its current configuration?

      Best guess based on the options and colour/ materials combo would be £83,250 in the UK. This car was sold in Dubai though so couldn’t make a guess at what it would cost there without VAT on it.

    DO NOT FRET. Porsche has extended the gas model 718 for one more year, 2025 being the final year. Of course, you probably already know this by now.

      @@jenniferharris7633 I didn’t know that but I called Porsche as soon as I saw this comment. Officially there hasn’t been any communication from Porsche to the dealers about continued production but it is rumoured. The problem is the GTS allocations were cut ages ago, I think they have a separate (or separated) production line. I’ve asked to be told if they do have any new allocations but I can’t imagine they’ll add them back again. Fingers crossed!
