Feb 12: Porsche Cayman S indepth!

[TT]

So, my turn to post a Cayman S feature ;) sadly again a black one, sorry ;)

What a nice little car it is! I was in the 997S not too long ago, so it was pretty easy to compare (passenger rides only, for both). The Cayman is a bit smaller, but barely noticeable inside. Cabon quality is absolutely top notch! Even in the hidden parts, below the seats and so on, perfect! Very German, nothing crazy, but perfectly crafted. Engine note is very very good. Not as good as the 997, but close, with a nice personality through the revs range. it corners pretty well, ncie grip, firm acceleration and good braking. On paper it's quite close to a 997, but actually even if it feel very poised, it doesn't feel as "brutal" when you nail it. No idea how to explain it, but well, it alays seems more relaxed lol. Anyway, very desirable IMO and in the metal its shape is damn nice!
I hope you'll like the pics!

Just click the previews to find 24 high-res pics

Don't worry about it being black, I love the the effect the polarizer has on it - looks great! :D

A nice bunch of photos, the first few looking down on the car are my favourites. :good:

Is this another asphalte.ch feature, or was this just a private car?

[TT]

Yup, an asphalte test and for the french speaking ppl, here are JC's impressions:

This Cayman S looks so nice in black. Thanks mate for this new indepth. :D

I appreciate a lot your photography with the skatepark for background, that gives a very cool effect. http://www2.rs6.com/forum/images/smilies/scool.gif

[yg60m]

[Pehtren]

very great indepth, pics are just stunning :shock: 8)

As for the car it looks very cool, even if its juts a middle range porsche :mrgreen:

thanks for the pics :D

[Wutputt]

I'm that fond of the Cayman, but the pics are nice. Was it easy to get decent panning shots in this weather?

btw, did you use the half pipe with the Cayman :mrgreen: ?

[pzgren]

you're really on a great run with your indepth's dude, this is another great one, brilliant pics! the cayman looks really good in black, i like that one.

No, the correct word is "nightmare".. a good one every 15 pics I think.

btw, did you use the half pipe with the Cayman :mrgreen: ?

Sure :D

[sameerrao]

Fantastic pics as usual. The pictures make the car look better than it really is... Nice use of angles and height to get the right effect. The wider rear haunches shows up very well IMO 8)

What is the little blue sticker on the side of the car - looks like an Auto Union to me.

What is asphalte.ch all about - is it a magazine or bunch of car enthusiasts?

[TT]

The sticker is this one:

Basically in Switzerland, Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda and Porsche are managed by this company. And this car was of course a test car from a local Porsche dealer.

And well, asphalte is sort of a local JW limited to the french part of Switzerland basically.. a regional car nuts forum, with a forum but also part of the website dedicated to reviews and such ;)

Like every time - Great pics - thanks Matteo.

Like every time - Great pics - thanks Matteo.

I would say it is not like every time, it is always getting better!! Without joking I think you are now doing real professional pics :shock: not only from the quality but also in the scenary. This last serie is really good, I like it!

Thanks TT :wink:

[TT]

Thanks a lot! Actually the idea of shooting some pics at the University facility (pics from above and the others there) wasn't mine but JC's. And when I saw the balcony and the nice clean floor I had to try it out :D

[chest3r]

Awesome pics.... as usual!! This looks like Evo Magazine.... :mrgreen:

This is one of the most beautiful Caymans I saw so far.... but honestly I don't like this car as much as I thought I would. There's something wrong about the design.. :?

Porsche definitely needs a bit of Italian passion 8)

[bloeb]

Great, clean pictures! :D

[Banchi105]

Brilliantly executed TT!

[ARMAN]

:shock: front shot is magazin cover material! I cant belive how your pics improved :!: Sell your pix to EVO magazine or simular you can make a fortune :P
Thanx alot for sharing them with us :P

[martin100]

Never seen it in black before! Looks really stunning :shock: Great pics as always. Thanks TT!

[stmoritzer]

you don't have to apologize for another black CaymanS review.
IMO the only color for this car! :D

at Zürich CarShow, there was a yellow one, looks nice, but like a plastic toy :?

In black, the car looks very elegant and also the long back of the car is somehow "nicer" than in other colors



Awesome picture set TT, well done.
This was the best set of pictures you did so far, congrats

The universitiy pictures are stunning :good:
me likes this one too : :P
