Very good concept! Mid-engine with more power than usual has to be great.

Lose the decals, and replace the black contrast with orange. Then you have a winner. I like your splitter a lot better than the factory one.

If you can get that color match, that'll be my new desktop!!!

My wife's not a fan of the orange, but I think it's just subtle enough, but makes the Gulf Blue pop! Nice work.

I made two. One with the normal background, and one with New York just in case you don't like the ship yard look.




If you like them email me and I'll attach the full sized.

I'll try that out a bit later today when I have some time .

BTW, what do you mean you like my splitter better? Do you mean the one on the white/blue Cayman R[?], because the Gulf ones have the same splitter as stock.

I am very interested in this. I really want to see MSRP with needed comfort options (Radio/AC).

Yes.

As for the color of the Cayman R, "Peridot Metallic", it reminds me of the 911 R. Infact, the whole car reminds me of the 911 R.

Please don't take this personally, I am a nice guy in real life and I am sure you are as well but...

WHAT????

The Cayman R at best is a lazy, lackluster parts bin exercise. No coilovers. No adjustable sways. No monoballs. No spherical ends. Same old engine (yes, it is a good engine). The R designation is wasted and an insult for this car.

After all the secret hush hush leaks about this model this is a HUGE letdown. Had it been introduced as simply an option package, well then fine.

But this is no "R" and it is nothing special as far as Cayman or Porsches go.

I was hoping for SO much more. Oh, the gentleman in the video, David the Marketing manager, he was at the show last night and I gave him a painful earful about exactly how I felt too

Come ON Porsche? WTF? This is insulting to real enthusiasts.
