Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Georg Kacher, 04 December 2008 12:30

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Adam Towler, 25 September 2008 08:10

Porsche’s 'Targa' moniker has been applied to open-air 911s since the late 1960s, and now with the latest version complementing the recently launched coupe and convertible models, it completes Porsche’s visually subtle but mechanically thorough overhaul of the 911 armada. We now awaited the Turbo and GT variants... So, this Targa's basically a new Porsche 911 with a big sunroof then? Well, ...

Following last month's meaner and greener 911 in traditional rear-drive form, Porsche has introduced the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 variant in standard and ‘S’ guises. CAR has just driven a Carrera 4S with Porsche’s new ‘PDK’ twin-clutch gearbox, carbon-backed sports bucket seats and the new PASM sports suspended chassis to see if this is the best 911 Carrera yet. With ...

Once again CAR was first to drive the new 911, so read our first drive road test review here.  So Porsche bills ...

Porsche Cayman CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 05:10

Good grief, it's a slightly slower Porsche! What are they thinking? Not everyone can afford the £43,930 for the Cayman S. So here's a Cayman minus the ‘S’ bit and minus a handy £7710. There are sacrifices to be made. The new base model is down 50bhp and 50lb ft of torque over the ‘S’, loses the six-speed gearbox, makes ...

Porsche Cayman S CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 24 July 2006 05:21

Yes, it's been a long time coming but I think Porsche would rather you didn't mention the B word if you don't mind - just in case people start questioning why the Cayman S costs £4k more than a Boxster S. What? I thought coupes were supposed to be cheaper than convertibles, what with having ...
