7/21/20208:51 estFiled to: Driver's Education, Porsche CaymanBy: Tommy ParryComment

After the base model and the subsequent S, the GTS variant is the sharper sibling. The chassis improvements over the base model make any GTS—whether it be a Cayman, Boxster, 911, Macan, Panamera, or Cayenne—feel like a completely new vehicle.
