The 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman is a rear-wheel-drive coupe finished in Guards Red with a 2.0L H4 engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. It rides on 19-inch Cayman S alloy wheels with a five-spoke dual-arm design, fitted with P235/40ZR19 front and P265/40ZR19 rear tires, and carries wheel center caps with the colored Porsche crest.
Inside, the cabin features black partial leather seat trim and three-stage heated seats. Guards Red seat belts match the exterior, while a luggage net sits in the passenger footwell. The smoking package adds an ashtray and cigarette lighter in the center console, and a fire extinguisher is mounted beneath the passenger seat.
Additional equipment includes auto-dimming mirrors with an integrated rain sensor, a sports exhaust system with black tailpipes, lane change assist, and the Connect system with Apple CarPlay and Siri. Audio comes from the Bose surround sound system with 10 loudspeakers, a center speaker, active subwoofer, and 505 watts of output. The model designation 718 appears on the rear trunk lid.
Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

The Porsche 718 Cayman, introduced in 2016 as a successor to the original Cayman, is a mid-engine sports car within Porsche's lineup, named after the historic 718 race car. Production of the 718 Cayman continues to the present, with over 100,000 units produced across its variants by 2023, though specific annual figures vary. It is built in Stuttgart, Germany, alongside the 718 Boxster, sharing much of its platform and engineering.
Initially equipped with turbocharged flat-four engines (2.0L and 2.5L), the 718 Cayman later reintroduced the naturally aspirated flat-six in the GT4 and GTS 4.0 models, offering up to 414 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of under 4 seconds in top trims like the GT4 RS, with a top speed exceeding 180 mph. For exotic car collectors, the limited-edition GT4 RS and Spyder RS variants stand out due to their track-focused engineering and rarity, with production often limited to a few thousand units per special model. Value trends show strong appreciation for early GT4 models and low-mileage examples, reflecting the car's appeal in the collector market for its balance of performance and relative accessibility compared to the 911.
