Porsche to launch ‘entry-level’ Cayman May 22, 2006
Following the successful market launch of the Cayman S in autumn 2005, Porsche is introducing the Cayman, a new ‘entry-level’ version of the mid-engine sports coupe. Based on the Boxster series, the two-seater is powered by a six-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of 2.7 liters and developing an output of 245 bhp.
With its high and sustained propulsive power in the lower and medium speed ranges, the model has a top speed of 258 kilometers per hour, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
“The Cayman is convincing proof of the fact that outstanding performance statistics do not necessarily mean high fuel consumption,” said Porsche. “According to European standards, it consumes on average only 9.3 liters per 100 kilometers.”
With prices starting from around GBP36,220, the newcomer is more than GBP7,500 cheaper than the existing Cayman S. The more affordable model’s 2.7-liter engine replaces its brother’s 3.2-liter unit.
Standard equipment will include stability control, chest and head airbags, air conditioning, a CD player and Alcantara upholstery. Finishing touches include black brake calipers, black spoiler lips, a trapezoidal tailpipe and black-faced instrument dials to distinguish it from the S.
