05/08/2008 S Sport joins Porsche Cayman range

The Cayman S Sport is to join Porsche’s Cayman line-up – and it certainly won’t look out of place.

So what’s different about this latest model? Well for starters it has a more powerful engine, and is available in a bespoke range of colour combinations.

In the 911 GT3 RS, Irish-style colours of orange or green are standard. Further colours available on this special model are black, guards red, a natty speed yellow and carrara white, as well as, arguably the best of the lot, arctic silver metallic.

If the car has a street wise feel then it could be because the pPorsche active suspension management (PASM) system lowers the car by ten millimetres, boosting all-important cornering performance.

These versions of the Cayman S are limited to an exclusive series, each one tastefully sporting their edition number on a plaque on the glove box.

The Cayman S Sport goes on sale in the UK and Ireland in mid September, but you’d better hurry to snap one up – there will only be 700 produced. Buyers can expect to pay upwards of £49,890.

16/07/2007 Upcoming Porsche prototype spotted

A prototype of the new Porsche Panamera has been spotted on German roads this week, ahead of its scheduled launch in the UK in 2010.

With the codename of G1, the vehicle is set to be the manufacturer’s first four-seater saloon with a front-engine, reports Autocar.

Eagle-eyed snappers saw the Porsche on roads around Nurburgring, which is Germany’s famous motorsport circuit near Cologne.

And while Autocar said styling on the car looks almost complete, it is not forecast to be officially unveiled until 2009 at Frankfurt’s motor show, before being launched in Britain the following year.

It has some similarities to the classic 911 model, but Autocar notes that the Panamera will be spacious and have some 470 litres of boot space.

One of Porsche’s most recent models to hit the market was the Cayman – a two-door sports vehicle launched in 2006.
