The '''Porsche 982''' is the internal designation of the fourth generation Boxster/Cayman (third generation Cayman) made by German automobile manufacturer [[Company:Porsche|Porsche]]. With the switch to a new turbocharged flat-four engine the marketing name for the models was changed to '''Porsche 718''', in reference to the [[Engineering:Porsche 718|718]], which won the Targa Florio race in 1959 and 1960. The name is meant to evoke Porsche's past racing successes with light cars like the 718 that outmanoeuvred competitors with larger and more powerful engines.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://presse.porsche.de/prod/presse_pag/PressResources.nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=578332&hl=modelle-boxster-boxster_s |website=porsche.de|title=Press Release: Boxster and Cayman now to be marketed as 718 model series}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.porsche.com/specials/en-us/usa/718/|title=Porsche 718 - Dr. Ing. h.c.

[[File:Salão do Automóvel 2016 (25332441499).jpg|left|thumb|718 Cayman S]]
The 718 Boxster was introduced in January 2016, and premiered at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The 718 Cayman joined the range in April at the Beijing Motor Show. The 718 featured two new horizontally-opposed flat-4 turbocharged engines at 2.0-litre (Boxster/Cayman) and 2.5-litre (Boxster S/Cayman S) displacement with increased torque and horsepower with lower fuel consumption. The S model turbocharger utilizes Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) technology.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://presse.porsche.de/prod/presse_pag/PressResources.nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=620981&hl=modelle-cayman-cayman|title=Press Release: The new mid-engine roadster with four-cylinder engines: Porsche 718 Boxster|website=porsche.de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://presse.porsche.de/prod/presse_pag/PressResources.nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=602486&hl=modelle-boxster-boxster|title=Press Release: Four-cylinder turbo for power when cornering – the new Porsche 718 Cayman|website=porsche.de}}</ref>

The 718 T models were released for the 2020 model year as more sport-oriented versions of the base 718 models. As such, the T features the same 2.0-litre flat-4 engine as the base 718 but adds performance-oriented options such as Porsche's 20mm drop sport suspension system, the Sport Chrono package with dynamic drivetrain mounts, and a limited-slip differential, GT4 Short Shifter from the GT4, sports exhaust with black tips, along with cosmetic differences including special decals along the lower doors, a smaller-diameter sport steering wheel, door pull straps in place of standard door handles, wheels from the [[Engineering:Porsche 992|Porsche 992]] Carrera S in special Titanium Grey color, and Titanium Grey rear badging.  Also includes Titanium Grey mirror caps, black headlight washers, black interior trim, Sports-Tex Cloth and Leather Sports-plus seats.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a34005587/2020-porsche-cayman-t-by-the-numbers/ | title=Tested: 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman T Simmers in Basic Excellence | date=14 September 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/23/2020-porsche-718-cayman-t-review/ | title=2020 Porsche 718 Cayman T Road Test &#124; A taste of the GTS }}</ref>

Later in October 2017, the GTS models were announced with their 2.5-litre engines rated at {{Convert|365|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}}. The Boxster could accelerate to {{convert|97|km/h|mph||abbr=on}} from a standstill in 4.1 seconds, and the Cayman in 3.9 seconds.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://presse.porsche.de/prod/presse_pag/PressResources.nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=790309&hl=modelle-boxster-boxster_gts|title=Press Release: Tailored for design and sportiness – the new Porsche 718 GTS models|website=porsche.de}}</ref>

Since 2020, the GTS 4.0 model has been offered for both 718 models. The new model features the 4.0-litre flat-6 from the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder, however de-tuned to {{convert|294|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}}. Both GTS 4.0 models can accelerate to {{convert|97|km/h|mph||abbr=on}} from a standstill in 4.3 seconds.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/393090/porsche-718-cayman-boxster-gts/|title=718 Boxster, Cayman GTS 4.0 Debut As Best New Porsche Money Can Buy|last=GTS|first=Porsche 718 Boxster GTS Porsche 718 Cayman|website=Motor1.com|language=en|access-date=2020-01-16}}</ref> By late 2020, PDK gearbox is available as an option for 718 GTS 4.0. The acceleration time of 0-{{convert|60|mph|0|abbr=on}} has been reduced to 3.9 seconds.

===Styling===
The exterior of the 718 Boxster and Cayman is very similar to the third generation, more of an evolution than a redesign. The most notable changes are to the rear of the car, which now has a long black-trim bar across the rear connecting the two taillights. The headlights and bumper are also heavily reworked. On the sides, the mirrors have been redesigned, taking hue from the SportDesign mirrors on the GT3.

[[File:Porsche 718 Cayman S Cockpit.JPG|thumb|The updated cockpit of the 718 has the 4th generation of the Porsche PCM system, indicated by the display without bezels. This model has multifunction steering wheel controls.]]

The interior remains very similar to the 981 Cayman / Boxster and the 991.2 generation of the Porsche 911. The main change is the new PCM 4.0 infotainment system, which replaces the PCM 3.1.<ref>{{Citation|last=Car Solutions|title=Quick Look at Porsche PCM 4.0|date=6 June 2016|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAWCLcoJhpk|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> If the optional Sport Chrono package is present, the steering wheel comes with a mode selector switch that includes a selection of Sports and Sports Plus driving modes, resulting in snappier throttle response at the cost of fuel efficiency. Overall, the most prominent design features of the 981 Cayman / Boxster remain, including large air induction ports on the side, and the prominent horizontal aluminium piece used for adding oil and coolant in the trunk.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autotrader.com/car-reviews/2016-porsche-boxster-vs-2017-porsche-718-boxster-whats-the-difference-257745|title=2016 Porsche Boxster vs. 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster: What's the Difference?|last=Riswick|first=James|date=October 2016|publisher=Auto Trader }}</ref>

===Reception===
Despite the loss of two cylinders, the 718 Cayman / Boxster was assessed to be mechanically superior to the 981 model with improved acceleration and steering, while the new 4 cylinder engine "cheapens the experience".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/porsche/718-cayman|title=Porsche 718 Cayman|date=13 January 2015|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> The 718 Cayman was declared ''Motor Trend''<nowiki/>'s 2nd best Drivers car in 2017, which praised the car's handling and throttle response. Giving the award, Miguel Cortina noted, "The suspension is just what you want to feel in a car like this—stiff, sporty, rigid. You get a very good sense of what is happening on the road."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.motortrend.com/news/porsche-718-cayman-s-2nd-place-2017-best-drivers-car/|title=Porsche 718 Cayman S: 2nd Place - 2017 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car - Motor Trend|date=20 September 2017|work=Motor Trend|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref>

By far, the most contentious reaction to the 718 Cayman was the sound of the engine - which received nearly universal criticism by the automotive press. ''Car and Driver'' called it a, "raspy, uncouth sound that strikes some drivers as unpleasant and grating."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2017-porsche-718-cayman-s-pdk-test-review|title=2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S PDK Test – Review – Car and Driver|work=Car and Driver|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> Top Gear noted that the sound, "fundamentally cheapens the Porsche experience," and makes the car, "less upmarket, less cultured and sophisticated than it did before."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/718-cayman-s-2016/first-drive|title=Porsche 718 Cayman S review|website=www.topgear.com| date=10 July 2016 |access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> However, ''Motor Trend''<nowiki/>'s ''Ignition'' tested the 718 Cayman against the 981 Cayman GT4, and found that the performance gains were so strong the car had the capability to outmaneuver the GT4 at a much lower price. They concluded that the tradeoff was probably worth it.<ref>{{Citation|last=Motor Trend Channel|title=2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S: Better Than Ever, But What's That Sound? - Ignition Ep. 180|date=11 September 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaGZ04_HLac|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref>

The 718 GTS variant of the Cayman and Boxster received generally positive reviews. Visually, the front headlight and rear taillights were smokey black, and an aggressive front sports fascia was added. Performance upgrades included Porsche Sports Exhaust, a Sports Chrono Package, Porsche Stability Management were all added as standard features. By expanding the air intake, the 718 GTS has an additional 15-horsepower and even more torque than the 718 S. In addition, carmine red was added as a color as a $2580 option. Used in most of Porsche advertising with the GTS, the color is darker than Porsche Guards Red, and very similar to the Italian racing color used by Ferrari, [[Rosso corsa|Rosso Corsa]].<ref>{{Citation|last=MotorWeek|title=2018 Porsche 718 Boxster & Cayman GTS {{!}} First Drive|date=2018-01-05|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=869ps1dBa2g|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref>

Many reviewers, including ''{{wipe|New York Times}}'' contributor Tom Voelk, noted that the 718 GTS had a much more pleasing sound than the base 718 and the 718 S. "One of the biggest complaints of the 718 is that its turbo 4 engine doesn't have the distinctive sound that the outgoing 6 cylinder had," said Voelk. "But the 718 GTS sounds much better. It has different intakes and a larger turbo." The sound of the 718 GTS engine has much more prominent bass frequencies, which contrast with a strong treble pitch of the turbocharger.<ref>{{Citation|last=Driven Car Reviews|title=2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS|date=2018-05-22|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgBhbEGNkIs|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref>

However, ''Evo'' magazine argues that, while "capable of challenging the 911 as a true sports car", the "718 version of the GTS doesn't really achieve anything more than the Cayman GTS it replaces" and "with its more desirable engine, it's the previous model that feels more exotic and like a much higher quality product." It describes the GTS' engine as "a nasty sounding motor", the noise from the turbo four-cylinder in the cabin as "dreadful" and "tuneless drivel" and contests that "the only redeeming feature of the 718 GTS sonically is that this is probably the quietest iteration of this motor".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.evo.co.uk/porsche/porsche-718-cayman-s/21432/porsche-718-cayman-gts-review-as-expected-the-gts-is-the-pick-of |website=evo.co.uk |publisher=Evo |title=Porsche 718 Cayman GTS review |access-date=2018-07-04}}</ref>

== 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder ==
[[File:2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Red 982.jpg|thumb|718 Cayman GT4]]
The 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder (previously named the Boxster Spyder) were revealed in June 2019. Both are differentiated from less powerful models by more aggressive bodywork, including a lower stance, new front bumper, a large new diffuser, and exhaust pipes that are spaced farther apart. The GT4 also features larger side intakes and an adjustable wing, the latter of which helps it generate up to {{convert|150|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of downforce, 50 percent more than its predecessor. Both have a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-6 derived from the [[Engineering:Porsche 992|992]]'s 3.0-litre 9A2EVO engine, which is rated at {{Convert|309|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} at 7,600 rpm and {{Convert|420|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}} of torque at 5,000–6,800 rpm. The engine has [[Engineering:Variable displacement|cylinder deactivation]], a first for Porsche. Porsche claims a top speed of {{convert|304|kph|mph|0|abbr=on}} for the GT4, and {{convert|301|kph|mph|0|abbr=on}} for the Spyder. The front suspension and brakes are borrowed from the 911 GT3, and the [[Engineering:Active suspension|adaptive dampers]], [[Engineering:Anti-lock braking system|ABS]] and stability-control programming are borrowed from the 911 GT3 RS. The [[Engineering:Anti-roll bar|anti-roll bar]] end links, camber and toe can be manually adjusted, but the ride height–{{convert|3|cm|in||abbr=on}} lower than a standard 718–is fixed. Both are around 15&nbsp;kg heavier than the GTS models. Sales commenced in the spring of 2020.<ref name="C/D GT4"/><ref name="C/D Spyder"/> 

For the 2021 model year, the GT4 and Spyder became available with the 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as an option.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/430424/2021-porsche-718-revealed/|title=2021 Porsche 718 Debuts With 7-Speed PDK For GT4, Spyder, And GTS 4.0|date=24 June 2020|first=Adrian|last=Padeanu|publisher=Motor1|access-date=25 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32936820/porsche-718-cayman-gt4-718-spyder-pdk-dual-clutch-automatic-available/|title=2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, Spyder Get PDK Dual-Clutch Automatic as Option|date=24 June 2020|first=Connor|last=Hoffman|publisher=Car and Driver|access-date=25 June 2020}}</ref> It reduces the acceleration time of 0-{{convert|60|mph|0|abbr=on}} from 4.3 seconds to 3.7 seconds.

In March of 2023, Porsche announced that 718 GT4 and Spyder Models would cease production as of the 2024 model year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a43469644/porsche-confirms-718-cayman-gt4-dead-2024/|title=Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and Spyder Dead for 2024|date=30 March 2023|first=Chris|last=Perkins|publisher=Road & Track|access-date=20 April 2023|url-status=live}}</ref> 

=== 718 Cayman GT4 RS ===
[[File:2022 Porsche Cayman GT4RS.jpg|thumb|718 Cayman GT4 RS]]
In 2021, Porsche unveiled the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, the first Cayman to receive the RS treatment which is usually reserved for the 911 models. With a 4.0 naturally aspirated flat-six derived from the 911 GT3, it puts out {{cvt|500|PS|kW hp PS|round=10}} and {{cvt|450|Nm|round=10}} with an rpm limit of 9,000rpm, which allows it to sprint from {{convert|0|-|100|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in just 3.4 seconds. It generates 25% more downforce than the GT4 variant, through a swan-neck attachment fixed rear wing. The GT4 RS lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife 23 seconds faster than the GT4.<ref name="gt4rs">{{cite web |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/products/porsche-718-cayman-gt4-rs-la-auto-show-26459.html |title=The new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS |website=newsroom.porsche.com |date=17 November 2021 |access-date=28 March 2022 |archive-url=https://pmepress.porsche.com/prod/presse_pag/PressResources.nsf/Content?ReadForm&languageversionid=1269643 |archive-date=17 November 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>
