Very nice!
The white one looks very low and don't think it shows a real production car. It might be on coilovers or SPASM. I wish the production car would look like that! Pretty sweet...
Besides it's getting very good reviews from the mags.

Tempting.

Oh my God that was really hot! LOL. I love the black one, it looks very sporty. I like the rims also.

Does anyone know if you can retrofit the new limited slip diff onto the previous Cayman?

Don't know for sure, however you can buy a TBD or LSD for the 1st gen Caymans from Quaife or Guard Transmission.

It's too bad the LSD is only available with the PDK.

Which is why I don't think you'd be able to retrofit it into the older manual dffs. I would suspect that the existing aftermarket LSD/TBD would still fit into the new manual tranny though.

I just read in Excellence that the LSD will be coming to manual cars "later".

Porsche needs to re-think pricing on their ENTIRE fleet of cars.
