Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 review

It just feels right in here. Especially if you’ve spent an additional £3,788 on the optional bucket seats, though be prepared for a stern test of your flexibility every single time you enter or exit the car, even if you’re of slight build. Give a colleague an impromptu lift and they might fairly assume you’ve got sadomasochistic tendencies. Once settled into them you’ll never want to leave, though, and you even get electric height adjustment to make them more amiable to different sizes and builds.

Everything else is typical Porsche fare – simple but perfect ergonomics, a big central rev counter (an important priority in an old-school nat-asp sports car), a steering wheel of ideal size and positioning, tonnes of visibility… it’s the feng shui of fast cars in here, and any rival that chooses to do things differently is being wilfully different to its own detriment.

As a Porsche Motorsport model, there’s also Race-Tex (Porsche’s own take on Alcantara) in all the right places – entirety of the ‘wheel and on the gear knob – with even more optional. Oh, and you want the £105 fire extinguisher. Not because there's any risk of a blaze, but just because it's as geekily cool as options boxes get. Or spec the full Clubsport Package and the fire extinguisher is thrown in with a steel roll cage and a six-point racing harness for the driver. 

In terms of infotainment you get a Goldilocks-sized 7.0-inch central touchscreen that offers Apple CarPlay connectivity, and you’ll be well provided for with storage space too. Despite being a GT, this is still a Cayman, so you’ll find a 150-litre bin in the nose and a 270-litre boot at the rear.
