Porsche 718 Cayman S Vs Audi TT RS: Which Gets Your Vote?
The Porsche 718 Cayman S and Audi TT RS seem to be offering the same thing. Both are very fast coupes, and both will cost you around £50,000. Well, we think: the Porsche is £48,834, and the TT RS is expected to be around the same if not a smidge more.
However, what’s interesting is the two go about the whole fast thing in very different ways. The Audi is front-engined and four-wheel drive, while the Porsche is mid-engined and rear-wheel drive. The Audi is significantly more powerful and faster, putting out 395bhp to the Cayman’s 345, and hits 62mph from rest in just 3.7 seconds compared to 4.2 in the Porsche.
The Audi will also sound better thanks to having a turbocharged inline-five engine (the Cayman makes do with a turbo flat-four), and be more practical thanks to having a pair of - admittedly small - seats in the back.
Then again, the mid-engined Cayman will almost certainly be the more engaging of the two to drive, and can be bought with a manual, unlike the dual-clutch auto-only TT.
So, bearing all that in mind, which would you prefer? Get voting!

Im a big audi fan so I voted for the audi but all of your choises are respectable plus I know that the porsche is most likely the most fun car . but the looks I will choose the audi noise audi handling porsche practicalty audi
lol 1 algerian voted for the porsche im algerian as well
I’d rather not have either, and buy a used 981 with ceramic brakes and . Its cheaper, has better sound, and a hell of a lot more fun.
Can’t fist the Cayman’s exhaust, TTRS gets my vote!
Audi because I’m a straight 5 fangirl
Hard choice. I choose Audi
TTRS
Audi have noticed a problem with first Tt and its weight distribution in the first gen.. They tried to save it with spoilers etc etc… Not that the 5pot is back and the whole chasis is imprvoed and the back end is now heavier its weight distribution is now more even than ever before… Just because its not Rwd (which most people cant drive anyways)…. doesnt mean it wont be fun
They originally put the spoiler on because at high speeds the car was becoming unstable. This was due to the bubble shape of the 1st gen causing a high negative pressure just above the boot. the spoiler solved that. But it wasn’t due to the weight distribution they added the spoiler.
I’ll have the 5 cylinder turbo Audi engine in the Porsche Cayman chassis please.
