Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 PDK

The GT4 is the car many Porsche enthusiasts point to when asked what a 718 Cayman should be: a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six sitting behind the driver, tuned to 414 bhp and 430 lb-ft, with a top speed of 188 mph. This 2021 (71-plate) example is the PDK-equipped version, which brings quicker shifts and a claimed 0-62 mph time of 3.9 seconds. It has covered 19,650 miles, which is modest use for a car of this age.

The spec is more interesting than most. It is finished in Guards Red with matching Guards Red seat belts, and the steering wheel rim has a red top-centre marking. Inside are full bucket seats and a carbon and leather interior package with contrast stitching. The Clubsport package, Chrono package with lap trigger preparation and satin aurum painted wheels mark it out as a car specified by someone who plans to use it properly. Practical additions are limited to rear park assist with a reversing camera and auto-dimming mirrors with a rain sensor.

The GT4 has a reputation for sitting in a lower insurance group than its performance suggests, which makes it easier to live with than many rivals. With a manual gearbox now available on the later GT4 generation, the PDK cars appeal to buyers who want the fastest shifts and a car that is also easy to drive in traffic.
