When deciding on a sports car, you may have many requirements. These include a sleek design, ability to run at high speeds, convenience of use and comfort, and consumption of fuel. On these fronts, we bring to you two models, the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman and 2021 Chevrolet Corvette, to compare. Though both cars are similar, you might be surprised to find that one of them meets all the above requirements, making it the perfect sports car for you.
Design & Style
Both cars support air conditioning, climate control, multi-zone air conditioning, heated front seats and many other features. The 718 Cayman, however, does come out on top overall. An additional feature, the hands-free liftgate, makes opening your trunk easier when loading groceries or the like. Simple everyday tasks are made more convenient and stylish to complete with the 718 Cayman.
Technology & Safety
In terms of safety, both cars have the standard security features: a security system, engine immobilizers and wheels-locks. Both models are also very high-tech, with keyless entry, power door locks, power windows, and remote trunk release features. What’s unique about the 718 Cayman is its variable speed intermittent wipers. This gives it the ability to brave inclement weather at peak visibility, which is perfect for both the seasoned and beginner driver. Furthermore, the 718 Cayman is equipped with automatic headlights, HID headlights, and headlights-auto-leveling, all of which the Corvette lacks. A more cautious driver would be happy to know that the 718 Cayman also supports brake assist.
There is no shortage of infotainment in either of these vehicles, both sporting the following examples of high-tech advantages: navigation system, AM/FM stereo, HD radio, Satellite radio, MP3 supported and others. However, the 718 Cayman has some additional features such as CD players (for the more traditional driver) and a hard disk drive media storage. This lets users store movies, music, e-books and many more right in their car.
Performance
Both vehicles are very similar mechanically-speaking. Both support power steering and both are rear-wheel drives. The Corvette has a larger fuel capacity of 70.0L but the 718 Cayman is not very far behind, with a fuel capacity of 54.0 – 64.0L. For the more environmentally-conscious, the 718 Cayman is a better choice overall because its fuel consumption is less at a range of 8.7L – 14.0L/100km while the Corvette’s is 8.7 – 15.4 L/100km.
The Bottom Line
It is obvious that the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman is the victor after comparing the two cars. With its classic and instantly recognizable elegant design coupled with technologically driven unique features, the 718 Cayman is an excellent choice for the peppy, street-smart consumer.
