This is one of the cheapest tickets into a Porsche sports car, but don’t expect headline-grabbing performance.

Here are five things to know about the special edition Porsche Cayman Style Edition.

Porsche has launched a special edition of its Cayman sports car.

THIS IS THE BABY PORSCHE

The 718 Cayman is Porsche’s entry-level sports car and this Style Edition is based on the least powerful version. Forget about relatively large 4.0-litre engines with 9000rpm redlines – this one has a humble 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo with 220kW and 380Nm.

Straight-line thrust is closer in nature to hot hatches than two-door supercars, with the 0-100km/h sprint dispatched in 5.1 seconds.

That’s not super quick these days.

It is based on the cheapest and least powerful version.
