When the Boxster debuted about 2 decades ago, it was dubbed the ‘poor man’s Porsche’, similarly when the first Cayman was produced a decade later. Two years ago, however, the name calling stopped when the latest iterations hit the scene.

Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe – representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
So, if you’re after a Porsche gentlemen, but not willing to part with the kind of money that could buy you, well…a lot of nice things….then the Cayman GTS is the car for you.
