The world of car-configuration is hit or miss. Sometimes you get to configure every option imaginable; other times \u201ccustomization\u201d means you get to pick the colors. Luckily for us, the Porsche 718 Cayman configurator<\/a> is a hit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To start, we finished our Porsche Cayman with an Agate Grey Metallic paint job. Sure, grey is a little boring, but wait until you see it with the Mahogany and Luxor Beige interior \u2013 Good grief<\/em>!\u00a0Inside, we opted for the 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, which allow for adjustments in \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 18 ways. These seats are like a spa treatment for your lumbar, even when the Cayman\u2019s launch tries to slip a disc in your back.<\/p>\n

Speaking of launch, let\u2019s get to the nuts and bolts of this operation. We decided to pair the 300 horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 6-speed manual transmission. Then, we added every performance package possible, because that\u2019s what you buy a Porsche for.\u00a0We passed on all the interior technology, apart from the seat heaters\/ventilators. Our Porsche has one purpose, and it\u2019s not lollygagging. All that adaptive cruise control, extra climate control, and lane change assist is just extra weight.<\/p>\n

And in that same spirit, we left the infotainment, navigation, and audio systems out of our Porsche 718. They\u2019re not essential, and the only music we\u2019ll need is the sound of that four-cylinder turbo.\u00a0In the end, our Porsche 718 Cayman started at $53,900 came out at $89,115.<\/p>\n
