Next-Generation Porsche Cayman Winter testing


Our trusty Teamspeed spies caught up the new Porsche Cayman testing on Scandinavian winter roads this morning.

As we have previously reported, the all new Cayman resumes most of the traits of the recently revealed Boxster, adding the fixed roof and a different rear profile. To the naked eye one would think the proportions are relatively the same as the new Boxster , but in reality each panel has been redesigned taking advantage of the longer wheelbase.

The range of power-plants will identical that of the roadster, featuring the 2.7 and 3.4 liter six cylinder boxer engine. No word on an "R" Variant but knowing Porsche they will squeak a few special editions out for us to enjoy.

The Cayman will debut the same new innovative technical solutions as the new Boxster, such as lightweight aluminum frame, electric power steering, dynamic engine mounts and more.

The next-generation Porsche Cayman will debut late next year as a 2013 model at the LA Auto Show.

You can see this same prototype spotted last week on German city street in our report here -> https://teamspeed.com/forums/boxster...y-testing.html

If this is as much of an improvement as the new Boxter, then they are onto something very very good.

The final product not yet seen, could not make a comments on this... if the rear light still carrying over from Boxster... then it might not be as nice as expected....

I don't like that single exhaust tip. Hope that doesn't stay. Otherwise it is looking good.

It stayed on the new Boxster, so it will without doubt stay on the new Cayman as well.

It's very likely the Cayman will share the doors with the new Boxster as well, which doesn't look like these pictures. This protoype can't be that close to the finished car.
