Porsche launch of the second generation of the car in Portimao, can you guess how? Cayman Islands, especially the S version, which is the focus of this review is the same. But heres the thing: very few negative things wrote about the Cayman Islands. Addition to the price - it costs more than it is based on the Boxster hardtop industry is more expensive than its convertible version - there is nothing to complain about. There are always, however, a lot of praise. Perhaps the best balance, mid-engine business and confidence inspiring quiet, curb weight is very light steering Hyundai Motor. AS Cayman won the competition in our truck drivers as early as 2009. This is good. Fan speed, interesting cars will be very happy to hear nothing has changed, except that it is better.
The most obvious difference is the appearance. Teammate of the Boxster platform used for the first time in the Cayman Islands, and the Los Angeles Auto Show last year, it seems more than its predecessor positive. The 918 Spyder analog scalloped air intake door into the silicon buttocks, the car looks buffer. This is even greater. Wheelbase has been stretched to 2.4 inch, has been shortened at both ends projecting 10mm. The total length is only up to 0.1 inches. 40/12mm front / rear track has been widened. However, the body weight in white down 66 pounds, since more aluminum and various types of high-strength steel. 40% of the body of the white of the rigidity of the old car during (much hard), and the new Cayman twice stiff as the Boxster. Big tires, better brakes and bigger, and more horsepower (320-325 hp), part of the reason, Porsche is able to record lap around the Nordschleife track Nurburgring 07:55,11 seconds improvement than the Cayman S. supervisory last year mid-engine Cayman raison detre, of course, Porsche discarded hydraulic electric auxiliary arrangements, it is still the top shelf. Bad temper that has lost some of the "feel", but Porsche said that, the negative feedback is also lost in the switch.
Traditional beats Porsche Cayman is the car will not let that happen. In order to protect the 911 is very important, and the Cayman Islands does not have enough power. If you just stop and take a look at the 0-60 time (4.6 seconds with Porsche PDK Cayman S estimates, which may be conservative), it seemed as though there are a lot of fast food car. However, at one point, I tried to let the the Algarvean van around impossibly beautiful road, I found myself to say, "It needs another 250 pounds - feet of torque, I really like the Cayman S higher redline (7800 rpm) on the track, but on the way there enough courage In other words, it took some time to reach 145 mph, you will need a hell hit a maximum speed of 174 miles straight PDK (manual gearbox car can go 175 mph). torque power play, even the 3.4-liter Cayman S does not have a lot of things (272 lb - ft). 2.7 liters machine do car manufacturers for the record, just 213 lb.-ft. of why no turbo? Porsche said, it just does not fit, I asked. prices always lead to the lack of power of dialogue about the Cayman Islands, and Porsche has made a reasonable basis for the price - only increased $ 700 to $ 53,550, and the Cayman $ 1,700 to $ 64,750 Cayman trumpet - who chose to S people tend to go a lot of options that, six digits of the Cayman Islands. then much money, the power of a variety of automotive more thought. Corvette engine, the C63 AMG, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, Audi RS5 - dare I say it? - 911 Carrera S, in other election items. need more power "before S Cayman said, we like that car. Cayman never violence. has been a back street surgeon, best-handling car sales, cycle in this regard, there is no change. Allow me to say, Mack Daddy supercar this years best truck drivers have been put on notice.
