The section of C-28 highway, known as 'Puerto De La Bonaigua' is a sinewy ribbon of road on the Spanish side of the border between France and Spain. Having lived in Spain myself for a while, I have been on some pretty amazing mountain roads, and find it not difficult to believe that this one might be an incredible route. Greatest in the world is …

718 Cayman GTS – The Last Porsche I Plan to Own
I used to be your typical car enthusiast – seems like as soon as I made a new car purchase I’d be sniffing around for the next acquisition. I’d fall in love with a new release and then find myself at the annual auto show with no real serious intent or purpose, but then leave the event with the cerebral seeds planted. When I purchased my 2009 …

Isn't turbocharging marvelous? As sonorous as the old flat-sixes were, adding power has never been easier in the Boxster and Cayman range. Thanks to a revised intake and flow-optimized turbocharger the GTS makes 15 horsepower more than the S models. This additional power is only part of what sets the GTS apart from the other models in the 718 …

For the 19th time, C/D has praised Porsche's Boxster and Cayman as among the 10 best cars on the market today. With praise like that, there's no doubting that Porsche's 718 is an amazingly capable sports car. Where else can you get a mid-engine turbocharged sports coupe or roadster for less than $70,000? Where there used to be dozens of inexpensive …

I understand that this site was once called Porsche Purist. I am not from that crowd. My affection for the transaxle cars is well documented, and I've always preferred the 356 to the 911. When I heard that the Boxster and Cayman were going to flat-four power, I was bothered less than most. When I ultimately heard the cars, however, I found them a …

For those looking for a leaner, more focused, and more athletic version of the 718, the newest GTS is on the horizon. Prospective buyers will have to wait until March 2018 to pick up their 718 GTS and fork over a hefty $79,800 for a Cayman or a princely $81,900 for a Boxster (Canadian pricing is $90,600 and $93,000 respectively). However, the GTS' …
Continue to the full articleThe Widest 356? West Coast Customs’ 356-Cayman Mashup in Motion
A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat. West Coast Customs managed to combine …

Ordinarily I don’t think of myself as being a particularly unique individual. In fact, I consider my personality to be rather reserved – loitering in the shadows more or less. Purchasing a Cayman (my first Porsche), was certainly a departure from this trait. I’ve learned to accept the attention that comes with buying any Porsche product. Two …

Make a Porsche too soft, and it doesn't work on track. Make a Porsche too hard, and it doesn't work on the street. Trying to toe that line is a major challenge in any suspension build, and one I will struggle with during Project 944 GTS. While the Cayman GT4 is pretty hardcore for a production Porsche, it is still daily drivable. When Jason Overell …

We recently met up with Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire at the US press launch of the new 718 Boxster and Cayman in Austin, Texas. While there, the conversation obviously gravitated toward the car we were both there to test drive. For the most part, we had very similar opinions of the car. It drives like a dream. It's faster, more comfortable, and …
