Porsche 718 Cayman

The Porsche 718 Cayman reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s (100 km/h in 4.61 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,272nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 157th quickest of the 334 Porsches here. Its 108.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Porsche 718 Cayman 0-60 time?
The Porsche 718 Cayman reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,272nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Porsche 718 Cayman quarter mile time?
12.81 s at 108.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Porsche 718 Cayman have?
296 bhp and 1,437 kg, which is 206 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 275 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Porsche 718 Cayman?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II (4.22 s), Bentley Continental GT V8 Mk II (4.12 s), Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 (R172) 3.0 V6 367 (4.22 s). Each one can be raced against the Porsche 718 Cayman in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
