Unless you are buying a Cayman R strictly for the track or dislike roadsters, the Spyder is a better value and I think a better looking car as well.

Reminder that you can tune to the live broadcast of the Cayman R press conference by Porsche at the LA Auto Show today a 10:55 AM, Pacific Time, about one hour from now. z356

quite disappointing, only 10 hp improvement, and that could be because they removed the A/C...

Per the just completed LA Auto press conference, it is going to be a MY2011!!!! That is another negative. z356

GT2 seats: -26.5 lbs wheels: -11 lbs AC Delete: -28.7 lbs Radio Delete (7 lbs), smaller standard battery (41.2 to 35 lbs): -13.2 lbs smaller fuel tank (-15.4 lbs of fuel): 0 savings for comparison purposes Aluminium doors: -33.1 lbs RS door panels: -2.2 lbs Total savings: 114.7 lbs The remaining 6 lbs probably come from removing the motors for the rear spoiler as the Cayman R uses a fixed spoiler. With the manual roof and aluminum rear deck, the Boxster Spyder saved an additional 46.3 lbs. I'd rather have the larger tank and a/c and stereo. |

Sad this is the best porsche could do. Pathetic really. Why even bother? Spyder FTW.
|
agree - the spyder is much better proposition.
the cayman has been restrained again. that is the fundamental issue....always has been. |
I'm somewhat disappointed. Porsche could have done so much more, so easily.
But for my intended use as a daily driver, it may still be fine. It is still more focused than a standard Cayman S. It really depends on pricing and what that price buys me, now. |

Cayman R Stuttgart. The Porsche alphabet reserves the letter R for very special sports cars: R for responsive and refined – but most especially for racy. The new Cayman R combines all these attributes without compromise.

yes, it is a joke. it's actually an insult.

Price has been released:
2011 Cayman R: $66,300 2011 Cayman S: $61,500 Actually, the Cayman R is a good value, and it doesn't make sense to buy a Cayman S anymore. Essentially, a Cayman S + Carbon Seats + 19" Boxster Spyder wheels exceeds the $66,300 price of the Cayman R. |
