Beautifully sweet to drive and something of a bargain in the Porsche range, the new Cayman GTS ticks all the right boxes for a sports car A new, slightly more potent version of the already rather wonderful Cayman S that will, for the time being at least, lord it at the top the Cayman range – at least until the more powerful, possibly turbocharged models appear in the reasonably distant future.Priced at £55,397 and boasting an uprated 336bhp version of the 3.4-litre flat six that already serves the Cayman S so well, the GTS also gets Porsche’s PASM suspension system as standard, alongside a set of tasty looking set of 20-inch alloy wheels and a small range of styling upgrades. And it goes on sale throughout the Porsche dealer network as of now, with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and the option of Porsche’s excellent but pricey seven-speed PDK transmission.Also on the options list will be carbon ceramic brakes, as before, but what’s new to the line up is a sports chassis option, which lowers the ride height by 20mm and does away with the electronic dampers for the ultimate “analogue” Cayman driving experience. The sport chassis is a no cost extra, and can be specified in place of the PASM.You also get the sports exhaust and Sports Chrono Package as standard on the GTS, whose kerb weight drops to a feather-light 1345kg, getting from 0-62mph in 4.9sec with the manual gearbox and 4.6sec with the optional PDK.
