A four-cylinder powerplant never felt right for the Porsche 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster, so are they back to their best?

Praise be, the regular Porsche 718 Cayman and Porsche 718 Boxster with a six-cylinder engine are back. 

When Porsche moved its 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster to four-cylinder turbocharged engines, a good old-fashioned flat six engine was reserved for the limited edition Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder. Well, not anymore. 

This is the 2020 718 GTS – in Cayman and Boxster forms – and it's fitted with a naturally-aspirated, 4.0-litre flat six engine that recently appeared in the Cayman GT4.

With 394bhp (400hp), the pair make 20bhp less than the range-topping GT4, but both still have a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 182mph. The Cayman GTS costs from £64,088 and the Boxster GTS is priced from £65,949.

Here we've tested them on both road and track. Find out what we think of Porsche's new, naturally aspirated mid-engined sports cars.
