2013 Porsche Cayman Spotted

binary0x01 · 11-16-2012, 04:17 PM

I like the 997 and the 911 turbo, all the others look like bugs to me...

EDIT: The Cayman's rear and sides don't look good at all, the Z has much better styling IMHO.

Have you ever driven one? Ppl who say the boxter and cayman (also 1 series BMW) are for rich teenage girls or 'gay' normally don't know what they're talking about. It's an absurdly amazing car.

Just recently confirmed, Porsche is going to release a '458 beater' mid engine more powerful that the 911 turbo, but under the 981 hybrid.

I agree (and ended up going to 991 route at the end!). I would chose the cayman s (new gen) over the base 911, but 911S for the added power.

I agree about the tail lights! A bit too big. Not a timeless design if you ask me.. But those side vents are superb.

It looks very 911 to me.

Z-Girl 12 · 11-16-2012, 06:03 PM

Love it love it love it...except the wheels.

Kingbaby · 11-17-2012, 01:58 AM

why does it look fat?

LMBmikeZ · 11-18-2012, 02:00 PM

Looks ok not feeling the rims or tail lights like OP have said.

But IMO 911>cayman any day

Zoren 370 · 11-19-2012, 12:57 AM

I know the cayman is a very nice sport's car to drive given the mid engine configuration for better balance. Some say even better than the handling of the 911.
But something about the looks of the 911 that the cayman just doesn't seem to fit well with the word beautiful car other than its a PORSCHE. I hate the rear end maybe its the tail lights and having a flat rear end. The 997 GT3 is still the car to die for!

The Z is far more sexy and close to be looking like a 911 looking from the rear fenders only.

I think the new Boxster is the more beautiful car when compared to this Cayman.
If based on exterior design/styling alone, I think the 370z is sexier than the 911 (991); However, the 911 has timeless beauty that the Z lacks.

Think the 2013 Cayman S PDK Sport Chrono will replace my 370Z in a year or so, but wonder if the Nav won't be annoying versus the Z.

Anyone know if it has keyless door/start like the Z?

it does if you get that option. its part of a package deal called premium package plus, which means you have to get 100 other options with it. im sure you can request just that one option though if you custom order it. it works better than our system, as it detects you approaching the car and unlocks it without having you press any buttons on the door or anything.

the nav system is anything but annoying

good luck on the upgrade!

I don't know. What I do know is that there is a turbo kit now available for the Cayman S……..all that Porsche lightweight perfect balance goodness with ~450 useable HP……..yikes! I will not sale my 911…………….
