The Porsche Cayman S was first produced from 2005 to 2012 and gained significant recognition in the automotive world. The first generation was based on the Boxster's technology but offered even better handling and driving feel thanks to its fixed roof and increased rigidity. Under the hood was a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine that produced 295 horsepower and accelerated the car to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds. The Cayman S, weighing only 1.4 tons, was remarkably agile and delivered its power with a typical Porsche driving experience.
The development of the Porsche Cayman S was overseen by renowned Porsche designers and engineers like Grant Larson, who had previously worked on the Boxster. An outstanding feature of the Porsche Cayman S was the balance achieved by the mid-mounted engine configuration. This significantly contributed to the excellent driving dynamics praised by many enthusiasts and experts.
