Now, with the introduction of the Cayman R, Porsche has further developed the car by reducing weight, increasing horsepower and raising agility and handling to new heights. The new model becomes the third version in the Cayman range, joining the Cayman and Cayman S. the Porsche Cayman R celebrates its world premiere at the 2010 LA Auto Show on November 17, 2010.
2011 Porsche Cayman R has weighing 55 kg less than the equivalent Cayman S, and boasting the most horsepower available in a mid-engined Porsche, the 330 hp Porsche Cayman R has been created for one reason: pure, distilled driving dynamics. The Cayman R goes on sale in the UK in February 2011, priced from £51,731 1.
The newest member of the mid-engined Cayman family features the highly efficient 3.4-litre, flat six-cylinder Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) boxer engine found in the Cayman S, but it has been tuned to produce an additional 10 hp. With a six-speed manual transmission, the Porsche Cayman R sprints from a stand-still to 62 mph in 5.0 seconds, two-tenths of a second faster than the Cayman S. With the optional seven-speed dual-clutch PDK (Doppelkupplungsgetriebe) transmission and the Sport Chrono package, the exercise is reduced to 4.7 seconds. Top speed with the manual transmission is up by 3 to 175 mph (282 km/h), 174 mph (280 km/h) with the PDK.
In addition to the removal of the air conditioning and stereo, the driver-focused Porsche Cayman R utilises a unique, slightly smaller 54-litre fuel tank and a sports suspension system that lowers the Porsche Cayman R by 20 mm, helping lower the centre of gravity.
Porsche Cayman R’s exterior using Aerokit sports styling – with fixed rear spoiler in contrasting colour – sets the Cayman R apart, and black-framed halogen headlights, contrasting side mirrors and decorative “PORSCHE” side-stripes bring further differentiation. For customers seeking to stand out further from the crowd a new option of Peridot metallic paint is available.
