The stunning 2013 Porsche Caymen S packs an even bigger punch than before. The 321bhp, 3.4-litre, 6 – speed transmission sending the car from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, with a final top speed of 174mph, pretty good fro 1.3 ton car. The sleeker more balanced design doesn’t just look good on the outside, but the inner works have been given a face life too. The new chassis is much stronger and 66lb lighter. Made of high-strength and mild steels, with aluminium floors, doors, bonnet and tailgate, it is more than twice as torsionally stiff as the Boxster, which provides a better basis for good handling and body control.
Electronically-assisted steering and special options such as adaptive cruise control, (which maintains the distance from the vehicle in front), a Burmester sound system and keyless entry all provide a truly 21st Century standard to the car. The Caymen S is also slightly longer and lower than its predecessor, increasing cabin size and further streamlining and perfecting a visually balanced persona, much likened to the 911.
Prices start at £39,694 for the 2.7 Cayman, rising to £48,783 for the 3.4 Cayman S, available for March Delivery.
