Believe it or not, it’s five years since Porsche lopped two cylinders from its base Cayman, tacked on a 718 badge to evoke some history and ignited the bottom half of the internet in the process. A lot has happened since early 2016 – a lot – but suffice to say a slightly grumbly sounding Porsche quickly became a minor inconvenience rather than an outright hate crime. Tiddly 2.0s have sat amidst the majority of Caymans sold since, even now the option of a flat-six has returned further up the range.
