Porsche 718 Cayman

The Porsche 718 Cayman reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.81 s, tripping the lights at 108.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s and the eighth mile in 8.25 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.69 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 718 Cayman

The 2016 Porsche 718 Cayman is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,437 kg with 296 bhp, which works out at 206 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 206 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.99 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 905th quickest to 60 mph, and the 143rd quickest of the 279 Porsches here. It leaves better than it pulls: 108.9 mph at the lights is only the 1,089th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Porsche 718 Cayman is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
