2006 NY Auto Show
A new and Boxster-based coupe joins the Porsche sports car lineup, and while this vehicle shares much with the acclaimed roadster, its unique characteristics and exceptional dynamic capabilities earn it the right to its own name — the Cayman and Cayman S.
Providing power for the Cayman S is a new 3.4-liter “boxer” six-cylinder engine. The engine thus punches out 295 horsepower and 250 foot-pounds of torque, propelling the Cayman S from a standing start to 60 miles per hour in just 5.1 seconds.
While the Cayman S chassis and suspension are based on the Boxster’s, the coupe is slightly larger and gains rigidity from its fixed roof architecture. This stiffer structure allows Porsche engineers to optimize the coupe’s suspension for exceptional dynamic capabilities.
