of all the overhauls Porsches none of their cars in recent years this one may be the most conservative here's the third-generation came in and compared to how they redid the Boxster and the 911 recently it's relatively subtle the wheelbase is longer the cars track is wider but overall the proportions look about the same to me you've got the new corporate headlight shape in there as well and kind of a little more of a massive angular thing to it but just a little now in terms of engine not here back there you've got two engines the 2.7 flat 6 which delivers 275 horsepower and gets you the 16 about 5.4 seconds the hotter engine in the S is the 3.4 litre flat 6 325 horsepower and 0 to 60 about 4.7 seconds depending on the gearbox now you can get a pretty efficient Cayman if you get a base car with a PDK and don't hammer it too hard you're looking at 32 miles per gallon on the highway this might being in the little fuel sipper you've been looking for other steps to increase the efficiency on this guy include greater use of aluminum in the body and structure takes off 5060 pounds that's a lot in a fairly small car you're also gonna find auto start/stop technology in here not my favorite in performance cars I hope it's defeatable an electric power assisted steering purists will squawk but knowing Porsche it's pretty well dialed in pricing hasn't changed much on these cars still in the high 50s low to mid 60's and then you start to option them up and they can get to the 80s really easily these will be arriving in early spring 2013 you
