Porsche Cayman News
-
The latest Porsche Boxster and Cayman are two of the most capable sports cars on the planet. In fact, both have been voted Motor Authority’s Best Car To Buy in recent years. However, never one to rest on its laurels, Porsche has now enhanced both cars by launching more potent ‘GTS’ versions. Porsche’s GTS models are aimed at buyers after something sportier than the regular S models, and typically feature more power under the hood, unique styling treatments and a number of extras in the cabin. Short for Gran Turismo Sport, Porsche first applied the GTS badge on its...

Fast, stylish, compact, reasonably priced, and incredibly fun, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is Motor Authority's Best Performance/Luxury Car To Buy 2014. But it was an exceptionally close race. So close, in fact, that the CLA45 AMG didn't score an outright win. The 2014 Porsche Cayman is also...

2014 Porsche Cayman: Best Car To Buy 2014 Nominee
Mid-engined perfection with Porsche power and tuning--the 2014 Cayman is the consummate sports car. Even the vaunted 911, as good as it has been and become, leaves something on the table when it comes to the sheer driving pleasure of the Cayman. That is, perhaps, surprising to some. The 911, after...

Looking almost as good as the 911 and coming close to being its equal at the track, the mid-engine Cayman makes a strong case for driving enthusiasts after a modern-day Porsche. The second generation of the car, which is new for the 2014 model year, improves the breed even further thanks to a longer wheelbase, new chassis and reduced weight. For fans of the Cayman, we’ve got our hands on a new video that provides a glimpse at the car’s design process. The video features Tony Hatter, Porsche’s designer in charge of its sports cars, talking about the design process and the...

Porsche has redesigned its mid-engine Cayman and Cayman S coupes for the 2014 model year, and, like the related Boxster and Boxster S, the new cars are better in every regard than the models they replace. Not only are the 2014 Cayman models faster than their 2013 equivalents, they’re more...

Now that Porsche has debuted the all-new 2014 Cayman at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the countdown to inventory hitting dealers has begun. Priced from a remarkably affordable $53,550 (including the $950 destination charge), the Cayman lies within financial reach of a surprising number of buyers. If you go light on the options, that is. Spend some time on Porsche’s new Cayman configurator site, and you’ll get an appreciation for just how much personalization the German sports car builder offers, even on models that occupy the lower end of its price range. In fact, you’d be...

Porsche Confirms New Compact Sports Car For L.A. Auto Show
The U.S. remains Porsche’s single biggest market, and within the U.S. the state of California has one of the biggest concentrations of its iconic sports cars and SUVs, so it should come as little surprise then that the German automaker typically makes a big deal of the Los Angeles Auto Show...

Following in the footsteps of fellow tuners RUF and 9FF, Germany’s Alpha-N Performance has announced plans for a wild supercar based around the chassis of a current Porsche model. Alpha-N is a relatively new name in the performance scene but the founders of the company were linked with the now defunct Veritas-VBT Racing, which previously went by the name Brabham Racing and was an expert at developing performance modifications for street use and racing. To show its capabilities, Alpha-N is using a donor Porsche Cayman to form the basis of a new supercar that it says will develop upwards...

2013 Porsche Cayman (981) Spotted On Video
This video, from YouTube user DrGumoLunatic, shows what looks to be a 2013 Porsche Cayman in heavy camouflage. But it's not the rather dark video that's the most interesting part--it's the sound the Cayman emits. The throaty exhaust note at startup turns into a healthy rumble on acceleration...
