Porsche Cayman S

[Viggen]

First official pic leaked. Estimated pricing starting at US $58,900.

Really nice. The traditional lines of a two-seater sports car, and still very much a Porsche. Almost looks like an American car.

 

[HowYouDoin]

yep... looks nice...
but for me it's back looks a bit interesting... maybe someone has a rear view picture of this car?

 

[jensked]

:shock: damn...I loooove Porsche. Kinda reminds me of a Aston Martin a bit

 

[bobber69]

I love Porsche too. Can't wait to see this on the street

Like it, esp. those yellow calipers The increased horsepower (compared to a boxster s) as the stiffer chasis will make it a real, hopefully lightweighted, toy.

911 with Audi TT arse. Well that was my first impression.

 

[andyhui01]

whats the difference between this and the boxster?... or is this replacing the boxster?

Nope, Cayman is something between a 911 and Boxster, and i think its mid-engine, not rear engine

 

[jasonchiu]

ah so finally a car for someone who cant afford a carrera but can afford more than a boxter!

 

[Renesis]

Looks quite good, but for once, I'd rather have the convertible version (Boxster)

If this is basically a hard top boxster with a 911 engine slotted in the middle it could be quite a crackin car. Name seems a little lame though.

^^^ from that botttom picture I can tell why they called it the cayman.... it looks like a bloody crocodile.

That website is totally uselessly, what a marketing tool.

Mechanically based on the Boxster, the Cayman receives a newly developed 3.4-litre version of Porsche?s four-valve flat-six engine delivering 295bhp ? just 26bhp shy of the company?s new 3.6-litre 911 Carrera.

The interior is also lifted from the Boxster, that car?s design preferred over the more expensive 911 dash layout.

i think this is going to be a big hit for porsche

 

[leif]

the cayman is going to be the best porsche of the modern era...

the boxster is the best chassis, but it is chronically under-powered, and the open concept robs a very accomplished car of delivering 100% of its potential

The cayman solves this problem.

I know porsche wont give it a turbo, or make an RS version...so im waiting for the Ruf version.

I'd be expecting some jokes with the name. Cayman, rhymes with...

Very funny.

Rhymes with you're a homophobe.

It's a joke. Not entirely against gays, and I have close friends who are gay/lesbo.
