The 718 Cayman Spyder becomes the first model in the Boxster family to generate aerodynamic downforce over the rear axle

The 2020 718 Cayman twins come with Porsche Stability Management and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear differential lock that enhances the longitudinal and lateral dynamics as well as cornering performance. The GT4 gets a fixed rear wing that not only adds to the model's looks but also adds 20 per cent more downforce over its predecessor. The automaker has also worked on improving the aerodynamics, which produces up to 50 per cent more down-force without affecting drag.
