Porsche Cayman

The redesigned Cayman is longer, lower, and lighter than the previous model. Launched in Cayman and Cayman S trims, it shares its platform with the new Boxster. The base model is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six engine with 275 hp. Offering higher performance, the Cayman S packs a 325-hp, 3.4-liter flat six. Both engines offer incremental power gains over the out-going model. In our tests of the 2.7-liter Boxster, we found it responsive and the manual shifter is smooth and crisp. Handling is still excellent despite some loss of steering feedback and the ride is pretty good.
