Thumbs up Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1.









Press Release:

Porsche Design presents Edition 1 at the IAA

Stuttgart. On occasion of the International Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA), the Porsche Design Group and the Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG proudly present the Porsche Design Edition 1, a limited edition of 777 cars that consists of a black special-design Porsche Cayman S and a special case containing a selection of Porsche Design products. As homage to the 'Chronograph 1', which Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designed 35 years ago, all products are coloured black.

The special-design Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 is based on the 3.4-litre six-cylinder flat engine Cayman S with an output of 295 bhp (217 kW) at 6,250 revolutions per minute. The exterior eye-catcher of the special-design edition is the combination of glossy and matte surfaces, while the interior has a noble and at the same time sporty appeal thanks to the black leather/Alcantara combination that the designers chose. The special case that comes with the special-design Cayman S contains a quartz chronograph, a pocket knife, a ballpoint pen, sunglasses and a key ring.

The sports car and special case will be on sale in select Porsche Centres around the world as of November 2007, while in the US, the special edition will be available from January 2008 onwards. On top of this collection, there will be further Edition 1 products that can be purchased on their own from Porsche Design Stores, specialist dealers and select Porsche Centres. These include, among other things, a jacket, a belt and a variety of accessories made of leather, titanium, steel and aluminium

I love Porsche Design.

All of their products are clean and streamlined, like a modern take on Art Deco. Their artistic style definately blends design and functionality very well.

We all know what the Cayman S can do. I'm just happy to see a new way to address the look of the car. In a design aspect, it's nice to see "less sport design, more art design"...

Meh.

Heading into this thread, I was expecting to see something extraordinary - probably because I think you've got great taste, Seize. But stripes and turbo wheels ain't doing it for me bro...

I would choose a different paint scheme and rims, but the Cayman is one of the few Porsche cars I really like and would consider myself. Most everyone knows by now I'm a big mid engine fan. With the Audi R8, the Porsche Cayman, man Acura sure is missing out on the part

I like the 911 Turbo wheels.

I can't get past the fact that this is a Boxter with a roof though...
