Motor Trend. Car and Driver. Road and Track. They all loved the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 when it was introduced back in 2016. Now they love it even more. Why? This year, Porsche offers the 718 Cayman GT4 with an amazing seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The 718 Cayman GT4 is the spiritual successor to the Porsche 911. Like the famous Porsche 911 (even the first ones way back in 1963), the 718 Cayman GT4 features Porsche’s legendary Boxer 6 engine. This water-cooled, naturally aspirated 4.0-litre engine delivers 414 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque.

How does that translate to real-world numbers? The 3,247-lb 718 Cayman GT4 zips from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds and zooms through the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 117 mph. Top speed is 188 mph.

Don’t miss this golden opportunity to put this Porsche in your garage. Every donation supports veterans’ and children’s charities. Enter now.
