LA Show: Porsche Cayman R






As Toofastcv continues their coverage of the LA Auto Show the next in the line was Porsche new Cayman R. It is 121lbs lighter and has 10 more horsepower than the previous Cayman S. The car's storm under the hood is a tuned-up 3.4 liter V6 developing 330hp. It is coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox, that catapults the car to 100 km/h in 5 seconds. With the 7-speed PDK option, it reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the Sport Chrono Package improves the time to 4.7 seconds. Top speed is hit at 282 km/h (175mph), but with PDK, you get 28o km/h (174mph) as your maximum. As you might have guessed, the main focus of this car was to reduce weight. This was done by adding light-weight components, helping the scale go down to 2855lbs. Styling includes a fixed rear spoiler, new high quality silver wheels and more. The car will be distributed in February of 2011, at a price of about $95,000.
