This S model gets the more powerful 2.5-litre petrol engine, 19in wheels, a part-leather interior and sports seats, plus extra styling details over the regular Cayman. You'll still need to add plenty of options, because even items such as climate control, heated seats and power-folding door mirrors are extras.

This 345bhp 2.5-litre engine gives the lightweight Cayman S rapid acceleration, with a seriously potent mid-range and the ability to rev strongly to the 7500rpm redline. Below 2000rpm, you get a noticeably delayed accelerator response, but otherwise this is a very flexible engine. Shame it doesn't sound better.
