Porsche?s new Cayman S, is poised to raise the German company?s already haughty standing at the sharp end of the sports car ranks.
title
The 3.4-liter 295-hp flat-six-powered coupe is scheduled to make its first public appearance at September?s Frankfurt motor show before reaching North American showrooms early next year.

The two-seat Cayman S slots into the Porsche line slightly above the new 2005 Boxster, and in doing so it bucks Porsche tradition of pitching coupes at a lower price point than their more complex convertible siblings. It?s a strategy that has required Porsche to provide the Cayman S with greater firepower than the 3.2-liter 280-hp Boxster S simply to justify its positioning. At the same time, Porsche has been careful not to let its latest model?named after the caiman breed of crocodile found in Central and South America (rather than the Caribbean tax haven)?encroach on the territory ruled by the 3.6-liter 325-hp 911 Carrera.

In both power and straight-line performance, the Cayman S remains a respectable distance from its more expensive Carrera stablemate, although if word from the Stuttgart grapevine proves correct, Porsche is already considering a racing-focused stripped-down Clubsport version of the Cayman, possibly to receive the historical GTS designation. A less expensive base Cayman is also planned, running either the 3.2-liter from the Boxster S, or a 3.0-liter 260-hp flat six.

She's looking into either the Cayman or the Cayman S. Being that she had an SLK 55 AMG, am thinking she's gonna go for the S. Either way about it, I'd get to drive it on the weekends . Now I just have to convince her to get a manual one, lol

I test drove a Cayman S in December. It is unbelievable, fast, handles like it is on rails and awesome power delivery. Unfortunatley, I am trying to sell the fiver and get an SUV for my wife and then I can get something completely impractical .

Hope your mom gets the Cayman S and you can drive it. YOU will never look at your Bimmer the same.

Cayman S in yellow with black interior has been my favorite car since the very first prototype picture was taken.

[Cartony]

You sure the SUV isn't the "something completely impractical"?
