The 2011 Porsche Cayman R was the stripped, lowered version of the mid-engined coupe, with 243 kW from its 3.4-litre flat-six and a claimed 1,295 kg unladen weight in manual form. Porsche Cars Australia's November 2010 insert lists rear ParkAssist, climate control, cruise control, PCM with navigation and the Sound Package Plus as standard here. Porsche footnoted the whole technical-data table as provisional at the time of printing, so treat these numbers as the manufacturer's pre-production claims.

Configure the 718 GTS PDKThe 2024 model year is the final published state of the base 718 Cayman in Australia, and its Porsche Australia page is still live today with the turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four unchanged at 220 kW and 380 Nm. What changed is the fuel labelling: to the current Australian Design Rule clause the manual car is rated 9.1 L/100km combined and 208 g/km, against the 170s of the earlier certification. Porsche quotes 5.1 seconds to 100 km/h and a 275 km/h top speed, a 1335 kg DIN unladen weight and a printed 320 kg maximum load. The page itself now carries Porsche's own withdrawal wording - 'Model unavailable for order' - and the Australian configurator no longer accepts the model code, so the car is listed but not orderable new. Porsche published no Australian price on the page, and the 718 Cayman has never been ANCAP rated, so those fields show no data.

Configure the 718 PDKThe MY2024 718 Cayman S kept its turbocharged 2.5-litre flat-four at 257 kW and 420 Nm, but its Australian fuel labelling moved to the current Australian Design Rule clause: 9.9 L/100km combined and 225 g/km for the manual against the 2019 certification's much lower figures. Porsche Australia quotes 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, a 285 km/h top speed, a 1355 kg DIN unladen weight and a printed 310 kg maximum load. The model year comes from Porsche's own model-year code embedded three ways on the page for this exact derivative, and 2024 is the last model year any Porsche AU artefact self-dates for the Cayman S - its page returns 404 today. No Australian price was ever printed on the page and the 718 has never been ANCAP rated, so those fields show no data.

Porsche Australia's own page quotes a 1405 kg DIN unladen weight against a 1700 kg permissible gross weight, leaving exactly the printed 295 kg maximum load. Fuel economy to ADR 81/02 is 11.0 L/100km combined and 250 g/km of CO2 on 98 RON, figures the Green Vehicle Guide's live certification record matches exactly. Storage is a 150-litre front compartment plus 182 litres behind the seats. The model year comes from Porsche's own model-year code embedded in the page's configurator links for this exact derivative.
