About the Porsche 718 Cayman S

The 2017–2025 Porsche 718 Cayman S, representing the 982 generation of Porsche’s mid-engine sports coupe, is widely regarded as a benchmark for balance and precision driving. Produced globally in Germany, it features a 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-four engine that delivers punchy performance and exceptional handling, largely due to its near-perfect weight distribution. In the 2026 Australian market, well-maintained examples of the 718 Cayman S—particularly those equipped with the six-speed manual transmission—hold a firm and resilient market value, with prices currently hovering around the $160,000–$180,000 mark. Its desirability is exceptionally strong, driven by purists and driving enthusiasts who appreciate its analogue feel, communicative chassis, and status as a turn-key track tool for circuits like Phillip Island and The Bend, especially in light of the impending shift to fully electric platforms. As a result, the buyer pool is largely made up of dedicated high-performance enthusiasts, weekend racers, and modern classic investors looking to secure a high-quality, petrol-powered Porsche sports car.
