The first car in this video is said to be the 997 TT. The second is the Cayman.

Worked OK for me. Good video of the car that there have been a lot of spy shots of.

Can't wait to see the real thing, although, I think it needs some sort of rear wing set up. I've never really cared for the sloping 911 lines without one and it looks as though the Cayman will be similar enough for me to feel the same way.

Here are some new photos. I wish PAG would get with the program and give us some official pics. Until that time, these black-clad cars will have to do.

You think these folks just hang out at the 'ring all day with cameras, waiting to spot these things? Great pics, thanks for the posts, Sean!

I don't know if it's just me or the driver, but that Cayman is looking highly unstable through the turns. It looks like the driver has to do a lot of correction coming out of the turns to keep the car tracking straight as opposed to spinning. Anyone else see that?

I agree, but it's just a test mule.

Which raises another point. Porsche should offer us limited slip differential instead of the computer stuff. The 997S can be bought in Europe with LSD, but not in the US. LSD would probably alleviate the twitchiness seen in the 997TT and Cayman in these vids.

yes, I noticed that too. alot of braking past the apex, maybe he was just too hot going in.

I dont see that, However i think that the rear hatch looks better with the fake stuff on it. I think that the way the rear window dips down looks stupid
