The new Porsche Cayman, rendered again. 
The New Porsche Cayman
Teamspeed.com member again "Carrera" shares his latest interpretation
Our trusty rendering master member "Carrera" is at it again, helping us visualize what the production version will look like of all the spy shots we post and today he shares with us his interpretation of the next generation Cayman. In light of the leaked new Boxster images this week its seems only natural to assume the Cayman will look very similar to the rendering shown here.
So what do we know so far. Well for starters the wheelbase and overall length of both the upcoming Boxster and Cayman will grow to nearly 4.4 meters, providing more passenger and luggage space. These changes will also help create space in the Porsche range for the smaller roadster. Power will most likely come from a flat 6 with a possibility of the new turbocharged boxer 4 power-plant.
We can see the new Cayman shares the door mounted side-view mirrors with the next generation 911 (991) as well. Other changes from the first-gen to second-gen Cayman include a new electro-mechanical steering system and a stop-start system to help boost the Cayman's economy and reduce CO2 emissions.
We originally thought the next-generation Porsche Cayman would debut late next year as a 2013 model, but it appears the car will be revealed sooner then later and be dubbed a 2012 model year as well. The new models coincide with the end of Porsche’s contract with Valmet Automotive in Finland, where the current Boxster and Cayman are made. Production of the next-gen cars will switch to Stuttgart.
