Default First Official Porsche Cayman Picture.

Here it is:




- 295 hp
- 0 to 100 Km/h in 5.4 seconds
- Top Speed of 275 Km/h

Base price of 59000 €.


P.S.: I'm not so sure about the accuracy of the price figure.

I guess the car's okay, but I just don't understand why Porsche felt the need to produce it. With so many variations of the 911 and Boxster, there's something for everyone. What demographic are they trying to reach with this?

Porsche is becoming one of those companys whose cars ale look very alike.

I agress, there is no point of introducing such car, it's even more or less in the same price category as the 997.

Agreed, i don't understand the point of the Cayman. I've read from journalists though that it is a great car and a smart decision.. I just can't figure out how, yet. Is it supposed to be the entry-level porsche? That $50000 Euro price is pretty much what it costs here in Australia to buy a Carrera.

Where are you buying Carrera's? By my calculations 59000 € equals about $AU 100K which won't get you a 997 - about another $100K short in fact

I guess the design is okay - can't wait to see it in black!

Damn Dingo, you are spot on. I misjudged that one by a bit ops:! I guess i can see the point now - a Porsche for $100k. Would you buy one?

I think that Porsche needs to take half of the Cayanne V8 and make another 944. Or just take the whole V8 and make another 928. These cars are amazing to drive, even today, i just dont understand why Porshce wouldnt do that. Its not like people wouldnt buy them, just make them reasonably price. A front engine, rear transmition, rear drive fast-back sports car. Practicallity and fun to drive all in one. In a 944, you get all of this, especially trunk space, i can fit a ton of junk in mine.

P.S. I will hopefully be getting the pics of my 1986 Porsche 944 on a fourm sometime soon!!

Even if I don't really understand why Porsche is building this car, I like it, it looks nice.

The roof is strange, but I'd prefer seeing it from beyond to have any judgement about it.

What I like the most are the air intake on the side. The shape looks perfect, it has something like the GT that I love.

the reason to make this car: it's supposed to be a pure sports car (not like the boxter with alot of luxury items on it) for a low price (well alot lower than a 911 anyway). Kinda like a junior-league GT3
