2013 Porsche Cayman spy shots
These latest images show a prototype for the new Cayman in its final stages, confirming that development of the car is nearing completion.
As with the current model, the new Cayman will essentially be a hard-top version of the Boxster, with the two sharing everything from interior panels to powertrains and wheel designs.
In terms of styling, the new Cayman appears to have a much more fluid design than the current model. It also appears to have a lower rear profile and a much larger rear window.
Drivetrain specifications should come in just a tick above the Boxster's potent figures: in base form, the Boxster uses a 2.7-liter flat six to generate 265 horsepower, while the Boxster S gets a 3.4-liter engine good for 315 horsepower. They run to 60 mph in 5.4 and 4.7 seconds, respectively, when equipped with the seven-speed PDK transmission. We expect the Cayman to add 10-20 horsepower to the Boxster's figures, shaving a tenth or two off its acceleration times.
An all-new interior, very similar to the Boxster's, is also a given, bringing refined design, quality materials, and a fresh new look that's in harmony with the rest of the new Porsche range.
The good news is that we don't have long to wait now for the official specs, details, and pricing on the new Cayman, as the car is expected to be revealed in full at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show in late November.In the meantime, hit this link to watch a spy video of another prototype.

if you go online to the Porsche website you will see a slideshow of the 911 models of the years gone by. Each slide that is shown visualises the massive differencs between each model. They are ALL so much different than the model before
oh if you dont want a response to your comments dont post them. Everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to voice them. there is no point that everyone shoudl have the same opinion but if there is deemed to be a slight inaccuracy that is pointed out...cheers
Its a public board, anyone can say what they want even if its 'slightly inaccurate', do I have to agreed with you that Panerama or Cayenne is the nicest car in the world? I don't like the designs.
I won't change my mind about the 911 lines along the years and yes, I do agreed I am generalising but that is my opinion. I will continue to voice them, I don't mind comments from others. Just not you! Cheers mate!
i was being passive and giving feedback and you jumped on your soapbox and had a vent. good luck to you!
