NFS Shift: Porsche Cayman S

NFS Shift: Porsche Cayman S

Thursday, 30.07.2009

The current car of the week is the Porsche Cayman S, ready to take for a spin in the upcoming Need for Speed Shift:

When the Porsche Cayman was first released the wags on Top Gear drew up a chart detailing the performance and prices of the 911 and the Boxster and argued the car was deliberately square in the middle of the two. They suggested it was a simple marketing device to capture buyers with a budget for a Boxter but a yearning for a 911. Looking at the stats you could see that this would be true until you take the car out for the spin. Once on the track you realise the car wasn't designed by number-crunchers; it wasn't designed to fit a gap, it was designed for the love of the car. A desire to make something more, something better from the Boxster frame.

Unusually for a Porsche the Cayman is built outside of Germany being manufactured in Finland since its release in 2006. Unlike its older brother, the 911, the mid-size sportster is mid-engineed. The version you see here is the more-sporty Cayman S which offers almost 911-like performance. In that most modern motoring barometer; the Nurburgring fastest lap-time the Cayman S managed a time only 5 seconds behind the 8 minutes, 15 seconds set in a 911 Carrera.
