2021 Porsche 718 Cayman vs. 2021 Infiniti Q60 Coupe

With a spacious interior and luggage space, the 718 Cayman is unique in this segment where space is often sacrificed for looks and performance. In the case of the 718 Cayman, you get both practicality and sports performance. For 2021, Porsche has added a new model that features a powerful 4.0-liter turbocharged engine for even more thrilling rides. When it comes to the Infiniti Q60 Coupe, one gets a powerful sports car with a variety of tech features. Performance however doesn’t come close to that of the Porsche and Infiniti is still far from creating a sports coupe that can match the finesse of the 718 Cayman.

Design & Style

The Porsche 718 Cayman comes with the same iconic styling that draws from Porsche’s style guide. The car is stunning to look at and will turn heads anywhere it goes. For 2021, Porsche has added advanced headlights among other features. The cabin is spacious and tastefully designed. The instrument panel is easy to use and everything is exactly where you would expect it to be. While Infiniti made some effort at interior styling, the premium feel of this car is spoilt by the use of hard plastics in the interior. The Q60 Coupe’s exterior look is great and the car offers plenty of trunk space.

Technology & Safety

Some of the features that come as standard in the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman include Apple CarPlay integration as well as heated front seats. The 718 Cayman also features dual-zone climate control for additional comfort. Buyers also have the option to upgrade the standard audio system to a twelve-speaker Bose sound system. The Q60 Coupe on the other hand comes with a host of tech including smartphone integration among others. The Infiniti Q60 Coupe also features a fairly decent infotainment system which, however, is somewhat sluggish.

Performance

With the 718 Cayman, you get to choose between three engine variants. The base model features a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine while the top-of-the-range model comes with a 4-liter turbocharged engine. Regardless of the variant, you get an awesome sporty experience when tearing up an empty country road. The 718 Cayman is just as composed in city driving and delivers a superb ride quality. When it comes to the Infiniti Q60 Coupe, the differences in engineering quality begin to show here. While it comes with enough power, the Q60 Coupe handles terribly and delivers a sub-par ride quality.

The Bottom Line

While these cars sit in the same segment, namely sports coupes, the similarity ends there. The 718 Cayman is a superbly designed sports car with attention given to details such as handling, cabin insulation, and so on. This then makes the 718 Cayman a much more superior car than the Infiniti Q60 Coupe.
