The 2023 Nissan Z is one of the newest cars on the market and it is available now. This is a strong competitor to the Porsche Cayman and it is an option you might be considering. Read on for a comparison between the two cars!

Design & Style

With an elegant exterior, the 2022 Porsche Cayman wins when it comes to design. The stunning look is one that stands out from the rest. The quality materials and workmanship can easily be seen. It also features plenty of legroom for the passengers so your passengers can be comfortable throughout the whole ride. This is a luxurious drive that you simply have to try.

The Porsche Cayman's trunk can be opened by placing your hand near the emblem on the trunk, so your hands can be free. Meanwhile, the Nissan Z doesn't have a hands-free gesture to open the trunk.

Technology & Safety

The Porsche 718 Cayman comes with the standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags that are low on the dashboard. These knee airbags will prevent you from sliding under the other airbags. Knee airbags will help to prevent any knee and leg injuries in case of a serious collision. The Nissan Z does not offer knee airbags.

Both the 718 Cayman and the Audi S5 come with standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, rearview cameras, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, daytime running lights, electronic stability systems, blind spot warning systems and crash mitigating brakes.

Performance

The Cayman GT4's standard 6-cylinder produces about 14 more horsepower than the Nissan Z's 3.0 Turbo V6. Then, the Cayman GT4 RS's standard 6-cylinder can produce 93 more horsepower than the Z's 3.0 Turbo V6.

The Cayman comes with a boxer engine that has a flat cylinder configuration. This helps to lower its center of gravity, thereby enhancing the handling stability. The Nissan Z does not come with a boxer engine configuration.
