Andy_Bangle Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 There's no hiding the fact that the new Cayman is the hardtop sibling of the fourth-gen Boxster roadster (981) revealed in the beginning of 2012. The same, of course, holds true for the outgoing model, only this time, Porsche's designers seem to have done a much better job in integrating the roof onto the Boxster's body. The sleeker looking new Cayman also sports a redesigned front bumper and a reworked boot lid, but other than that, it's the same car as the roadster. The base model is fitted with a 2.7-litre flat six producing 275hp or 10hp more than it does on the Boxster, and the 'S' variant powered by a 3.4.litre boxer engine with 325hp, again, a 10hp increase over its roadster counterpart.

stooH Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I like the Cayman so would definitely have one, not sure what colour though, surprise me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I think the Cayman is one of those cars that you can get away with bonkers colours Looks great and might make me change my mind about the Boxster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 That looks nice with a bit more of the 911 aggression to it, just need that lottery win to get it as a weekend car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a little win though, eh? A proper one and you wouldn't bother, would you, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgl Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 That is a nice looking car, I had high hopes for it following the new Boxster. Although, you'll get a bloomin' lovely 997 for new Cayman money and I think that would be where I'd spend my hard earned (if the wife and kids had not already done that).

Tipex Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Meh, just another Porsche that looks like all the rest. No doubt it'll be dynamically excellent, but afflicted with the same image problems as all the other Porsches that aren't 911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
