Improved dynamics are not achieved by increased output alone, but by a harmonious balance of low weight – for excellent agility – and high engine power – for outstanding performance. The Cayman R is 55 kg lighter and 10 hp more powerful than the Cayman S. The light-alloy 3.4-litre horizontally opposed cylinder engine produces 243 kW (330 hp) at 7,400 rpm. The optional sports exhaust system offers an even more impressive sound.

The engine features direct fuel injection (DFI) as standard. The injection spray and cone angles are tuned for the optimum fuel/air mixture and effective combustion.

Available as an option is Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), for gear changes that take place in milliseconds with no interruption in the flow of power.

Porsche Cayman R Design Concept

The Cayman R is not afraid to show its colours. The exterior finish is just the start. The Peridot Metallic standard colour, for example, is a visible expression of the car’s uncompromising individuality.
 
The dynamically designed fixed spoiler draws attention to the powerful rear end. In conjunction with the distinctive spoiler lips in the front apron, it reduces lift and delivers nothing but sporty performance.

The effect is tangible: a more direct relationship with the road. The resulting driving experience is more electrifying, more palpable, more intense.
    
The rear end also features a twin tailpipe finished in black to create its own discernible contrast. This is the source of the distinctive Porsche sound, which is clearly audible to all around it. After all, if you have something to say, you should be heard.


On what does a successful overall impression depend? The details.

The exterior mirrors of the Cayman R are finished in a contrasting colour to give full emphasis to the car’s muscular contouring.


Other elements in a contrasting colour include the air intakes on the rear side section, the rear spoiler wing and the Porsche logo adorning the side of the vehicle.

The black circular borders around the halogen headlights are reminiscent of the successful Porsche race cars from the past. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and daytime running lights are available as an option.



An indication of the car’s purposeful lightweight construction is given by the aluminium doors, which reduce weight by 15 kg.

The black painted logo on the rear lid is the final signature of the car’s uncompromising nature.
 

In summary, the Cayman R sets clear accents and leaves no questions unanswered. Exterior styling is no exception, and we find that this suits the Cayman R very well indeed.

Cayman R Radicalness Concept

Anything was acceptable as long as it would ultimately benefit the driver, such as a purposeful mid-engine layout combined with a rigorous reduction in weight and increased engine output. No air conditioning system.

The body has been lowered by 20 mm, and a retuned sports suspension provides uncompromising proximity to the road.

The Cayman R reflects the radical rejection of the pursuit of comfort.

Porsche Panamera Review

The Porsche Panamera is the marque's first-ever four-door sedan. Aimed at the Audi A8, BMW M5 and 7 Series, Maserati Quattroporte, and Mercedes-Benz S Class, this grand tourer is somewhat different. Instead of a traditional three-box sedan shape, the Panamera is a two-box hatchback to provide a roomy rear seat and useful cargo space.

And it is truly roomy, with back-seat headroom, legroom and hip room that rivals that of a Mercedes S-Class sedan or any of the other cars in this class. This surprised us. The other thing that surprised us was its refinement and smoothness. It's impressively smooth and serene when cruising along like a luxury car, which belies the world-class handling and performance available whenever the driver starts pushing hard on the pedals.

Beyond having four doors, the Panamara is different from traditional Porsches. Unlike the 911, which has its engine mounted in the rear, the Panamera has a more common front-engine design. It is offered with two flavors of V8 power. Panamera S and Panamera 4S models use a 400-horsepower V8, while the Panamera Turbo model features a 500-horsepower turbocharged version of the same engine. Both engines are mated to a new seven-speed automated manual transmission Porsche refers to as the PDK.

The Panamera S comes with rear-wheel drive, while the 4S and Turbo have all-wheel drive.

All Panameras are fast. The normally aspirated V8 in S and 4S models has plenty of power at any speed, and can launch the car from 0-60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds. The Turbo cuts that time to 3.6 seconds, with little if any turbo lag and a rush of power that pins you back in your seat. Those numbers don't tell the whole story, however. The Panamera S feels lighter on its feet than the Turbo, and is in some ways more entertaining to drive. The 4S falls between the two.

Slightly smaller than a BMW 7 Series, the Panamera offers the sporty performance of a world-class sports sedan with the comfortable ride and refinement of a luxo-cruiser. A lot of engineering went into the car to make those extremes possible. To achieve the desired balance, Porsche built the body from lightweight materials and placed the engine low and as far back as possible. Porsche also used two forms of adjustable suspension to turn the ride from soft but stable to racetrack-ready.

The most luxurious Porsche ever, the Panamera is quite well appointed and equipped. Leather upholstery is standard, as are a choice of carbon, aluminum or five varieties of wood trim. The fit and finish and quality of the materials rival that of any competitor.

Space is impressive, too. A standard full-length center console divides the car into four distinct and comfortable seating positions. The feel from the driver's seat is much like that of the 911, only higher off the ground. The rear seat has enough head room for an NBA point guard and plenty of leg room, too. All of the seats are supportive without being too firm or too deeply bolstered. With this much room, the Panamera would work just as well as a chauffer-driven vehicle as it would a driver-oriented sports sedan.

The hatchback design makes the Panamera useful as a family vehicle, too. With the rear seats up, the rear cargo area is as roomy as most trunks, and with the seats down the Panamera has as much cargo room as a Subaru Impreza hatchback, which is a lot.

Bottom line, the Porsche Panamera is a great way to expand the Porsche lineup. It performs well on the street and the track, and offers enough passenger and cargo room to make it a no-compromise luxury sedan. Put simply, the Panamera enters the market as one of the world's best luxury sports sedans. Be careful with options, though. As with any Porsche, they can get awfully pricey when you start checking off the boxes.

Car Porsche 911 Review

The Porsche 911 combines driving excitement with everyday comfort. It's our top choice for enthusiasts who want a high-performance sports car for daily driving. The latest-generation model, designated 997, is the best ever. It was launched for the 2005 model year, and the engines have been upgraded over the past two model years. Internally, Porsche calls the current model the 997, version 2.

For 2009, the Carrera and Carrera S models received revised engines and a new dual-clutch automated manual transmission called the PDK, or Porsche Doppel Kupplungsgetreibe. For 2010, it's the 911 Turbo's turn. Also new for 2010 is the latest-generation of the high-performance 911 GT3, now with more power and an even racier GT3 RS variant. New for 2010 are steering wheel shift paddles for the PDK, an improvement over the old buttons.

The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo exchanges a 3.6-liter engine for a 3.8, now with direct injection and 500 horsepower, 20 more than 2009. The exterior of the Turbo is slightly modified for 2010 with new mirrors, bi-xenon headlights and LED taillights. New options include active engine mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring system that applies brakes to the inside wheel in turns.

The 2010 Porsche 911 lineup presents a wide range of models. Coupes and Cabriolets are available, along with a Targa. Base models are fast, S models are even faster, the GT3 faster still, and the Turbo is supercar quick. An ultra high-performance GT2 joins the lineup for 2011. Most models offer endless options. Just about every possible combination is available between coupe and Cabriolet, 3.6-liter and 3.8-liter engines, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. You name it, they've got it, and we love all of them.

The Carrera coupe (sometimes called Carrera 2) is the base model, but owning one is hardly settling for second rate. It's a fantastic sports car, exceedingly enjoyable to drive, and quite comfortable. It is the classic 911. The Carrera 4 adds the traction and handling benefits of all-wheel drive and is loaded with active safety features; it's the best choice for rain and winter weather, an unbeatable foul weather car. Cabriolet versions put the wind in your hair and sun in your face. The Targa features a clever clear roof that slides back to provide a top-down feeling.

The Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the easiest supercars to live with in daily use. It's more user friendly than its competitors, from the Corvette ZR1 to the Ferrari F430 to the Lamborghini Gallardo. Getting in and out of it is relatively easy. It rides smoothly and comfortably by sports car standards. It's happy to putt around town all day at a Buick pace, particularly with the new PDK automated manual transmission. It's easy to drive, whether poking along in rush-hour traffic, streaking down a highway, charging up a mountain road, or working the tires and brakes on a racing circuit. It's neither fragile nor unreliable. Plus, it has a 500-horsepower, turbocharged engine in back. The all-wheel drive and the world's best, most sophisticated brakes make it easy to charge into corners. It really is a terrific car.

The GT3 is the choice for true performance enthusiasts as it sheds weight and is the liveliest 911. The GT3 RS is like this only a little more.
