Porsche Cayman line up to expand

Posted on 26. Nov, 2010 by PB.

Porsche has introduced the Cayman R to their line up and it is said to be lighter and more powerful than the other models.

Weighing 55kg less than the Cayman S, the R will contain the same 3.4-litre direct fuel inject (DFI) boxer engine but has been tuned up to have an additional 10bhp.

As a result of this extra power, the Cayman R will reach 62mph from a standing start in 5.0seconds with the manual gearbox. Upgrading to the seven-speed dual-clutch Doppelkupplungsgetriebe – PDK – will see the sprint time drop to 4.7seconds. Top speeds for both versions are around 175mph.

Deconstructing the Porsche Emblem

Posted on 19. May, 2010 by PB.

The Porsche name is recognized for superb styling on top of innovative engineering, but until 1952 the Stuttgart-based automotive manufacturer portrayed itself to the world as only that: a name. For 31 years, the Porsche brand consisted of seven sleek letters but had no face attached to its name. No mark, emblem, nor ideogram to distinguish its cars from the masses and therefore no burning scar in the minds of consumers embodying the Porsche experience and history.

Posted on 09. Nov, 2009 by PB.

Can you tell the difference between one of these: and one of these? Apparently, it would seem that Porsche is concerned you can’t. According to a recently filed quarterly report, Porsche is suing the maker of the ubiquitous and ugly shoe over the use of the name “Cayman”. According to the filing: On May 11, 2009, Crocs Europe B.V. received a letter from Dr. Ing.

The 2009 Porsche Cayman S – A love Affair Waiting to Happen

Posted on 06. Jun, 2009 by PB.

If you have been looking for a reason to buy a new car, Porsche has given you several of them all wrapped up in one car. The 2009 Porsche Cayman S is a must have for car lovers. I was lucky enough to have a play in a good friends Cayman S and was very impressed with this bit of kit. The Cayman S has always confused me in a way. I have to say when the first pics arrived a few years back I was a bit undecided. It was the same when the 944 came out. I couldn’t work out who it was aimed at. Well, once again my mind has been changed. I absolutely loved it. Here is my thoughts…

Exclusive Spy Shots: The 2011 Porsche Cayman & Carrera caught testing in SA

Posted on 01. May, 2009 by PB.

The next generation Porsche Cayman and Carrera S for 2011 has been caught by EasyCarBlog undergoing heat testing in South Africa.

Pretty unfair eh?

The little city which hosts all of these exotic prototypes is called Upington and it is based in the Kalahari desert. Dean from EasyCarBlog got in touch with these exclusive spy shots and kindly let us feature them on the site.
