Thumbs up

Amazing. I love it (although it should should have numbers, not a name).

I'll take mine in black, unoptioned, with gray cloth interior and a manual transmission.

Not sure why someone would pay more for this Boxster coupe but it does look good in its own way.

Quote »
Porsche Cayman S
Power: 295 HP
Top Speed: 275 kph
Performance: 0-100 kph in 5.4 sec
Max. Torque: 340 Nm between 4400 and 6000 rpm
Price tag in Germany incl. 16% VAT: 58529 Euro
The Cayman S has 18'' wheels and PSM as standard
PASM and Tiptronic S are available as options
Variocam Plus comes with the engine, this seems to indicate the probability that the Cayman S engine is based on the 996 M96 engine


a boxster has 240hp and the boxster S has 280
boxster does 0-60 in 5.9, boxster S does it in 5.2 (which leads me to believe the cayman will be faster)

Not only faster but will handle much better on the track due to the midengine design...this thing could give the base carrera owners some serious grief.

Same here, I think I would go for the 997 instead.
