About this car
The 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S presents a striking Guards Red exterior paired with a black interior, delivering the precise, driver-focused character expected from Porsche's mid-engine coupe. With 48,102 miles, this example combines low-mileage appeal with the model's renowned balance of performance and everyday usability.
Power comes from a 2.5-liter flat-four engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The coupe's compact dimensions—172.4 inches long, 78.5 inches wide, and 51.4 inches tall—contribute to its agile handling, while the premium unleaded fuel requirement supports its high-revving character. EPA estimates stand at 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
Designed as a strict two-seater, the 718 Cayman S emphasizes lightweight construction and aerodynamic efficiency. Its clean lines and purposeful stance highlight Porsche's commitment to both form and function in a sports car that remains engaging on every drive.

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 Cayman S 718, part of the 718 Cayman lineup, was introduced in 2016 as a mid-engine sports car, replacing the previous Cayman generation. Production of the 718 Cayman S continues as of 2023, with Porsche producing approximately 30,000 units annually across all 718 variants (Cayman and Boxster combined), though exact figures for the S model alone are not publicly specified. The car features a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine, delivering 350 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. It achieves 0-60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds with the PDK and Sport Chrono package, with a top speed of around 177 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 718 Cayman S holds interest due to its relative affordability among Porsche models, with used examples (2016-2020) often ranging from $50,000 to $70,000, though prices vary based on condition and mileage. While not as rare as limited-edition Porsches, special configurations like the GTS 4.0 (introduced later with a naturally aspirated flat-six) add appeal. Its historical significance lies in Porsche’s shift to turbocharged four-cylinder engines, a controversial yet performance-driven evolution, marking a distinct era in the Cayman lineage.
