Question Cayman / Ferrari Dino / Why is Porsche developing the Cayman?


Maybe, there's a little "competition" going on? The Dino is apparently going to be front engined, however... hmmm. The Cayman could be a better car with more development.

I think this is actually the new Ferrari California: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=7132.

Based on the very mixed reception of the California, it might not be prudent for Ferrari to introduce their version of the Cayman, particularly given the state of the global economy.

Yeah, I've heard that the California has not been warmly received.

dertub...Your pic came from a Jan 2007 Winding Road article which was pure speculation and based on this Cayman photo.
