Overall Performance
The Porsche Cayman S has a stock top speed of 243 km/h (151 mph) which is very high for a Class D car. The acceleration is strong but its nitrous output is weak. The handling however is average, as the car tends to understeer into corners. As a result, the Cayman S relies quite a bit on handbraking when taking on sharp corners.

For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape the Cayman S can perform fairly well. Because of its relatively nimble body, the car is able to go through roadblocks fairly well. Its light weight, however, does become an issue, especially if it crosses paths with a speeding Rhino. Its sluggish handling also doesn't assist in dodging rhinos, and being a rear wheel drive, it is also prone to spinning out.

Cayman/Charger Bug
On June 18th, 2013, a bug occurred which caused the following three cars; Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee "Blue Juggernaut" and Porsche Cayman S "Shift"+"Treasure Hunter" to appear as a free gift for 0 SpeedBoost.

However, as the Gift could be redeemed several times, many players abused the bug in order to get Car Slots, extra Cash or gaining points for Achievements. The cars were removed from the Gifts section of the Car Dealer several hours after the bug occurred. Players that abused the bug more than an unknown certain limit were banned from the game.
