2014 Porsche Cayman S

A Blue-Blooded Valentine I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous ... Read More

    2013 Porsche Cayman spotted in the wild
    1353098700

    It's no secret that Porsche is bringing the next-gen Cayman to the Los Angeles Auto Show. The automaker can tease us all they want with word of a "new compact sports car," but we know what the score is: the new Cayman is on the way, and we're ready for it. That said, no one has seen what the next-generation of the sub-911 coupe looks like... that is, until ...

    Spy Shots: Next-gen Porsche Cayman attacks the 'Ring
    1309879680

    The big sellers for Porsche may be the Cayenne and Panamera these days, but the automaker's sports cars are still a huge priority. We'll be seeing an all-new 911, dubbed 991, later this year, and judging by these latest spy shots, the smaller Cayman coupe is due for an overhaul in the not-too-distant future. Details are slim about what we can expect ...

    Spy Shot? Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake revealed?
    1249662660

    Yes, well, wouldn't this be something. We've heard rumors and innuendo concerning the supposed Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake. In many ways, a shooting brake (also properly spelled with a hyphen -- shooting-brake) is the perfect vehicle. Small and light like a sports car, but capable and practical like a station wagon. Combine chocolate with peanut butter ...

    Spy Video: Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake caught on camera phone?
    1247093880

    Camera phones are turning into quite an asset in this business, as readers of various automotive news sites across the interwebs and around the world have turned into legions of spy photographers. In this instance, one such reader-turned-paparazzo (apparently in Italy, no less) caught on video what appears to be some sort of Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake ...

    Spy Shots: Cayman with bigger wheel arches, a mule for the S Sport?
    1221137880

    The Cayman has two events to get ready for: the Cayman S Sport, and a facelift. A blacked-out Cayman with larger wheel arches and bolt-on fender flares was spotted recently, and it could be a tester for either car. With the rumored suspension tweaks for the Cayman S Sport, this could be making room for a serious set of rubber to take advantage of, not to ...

    Spy Shots: Revised Porsche Boxster/Cayman
    1199887380

    Spies have caught the restyled Porsche Boxster and its hardtop sibling undergoing testing, and in keeping with Porsche tradition, the changes are easy to overlook. The majority of the restyling is visible in the haunches of the Cayman, where the tail lamps have grown and become more curvaceous – feminine even. Up front, LEDs have been installed within ...

    Enter the Rumormill: Porsche Cayman Club Sport spied?
    1194650820

    The introduction of the Porsche Cayman S was met with equal parts reverence and revilement, with many criticizing Porsche's midship masterpiece as being underpowered despite a chassis that was begging for more oomph. While tuners have been swapping larger engines from the top-of-the-line 911 into the Cayman, its doubtful that Porsche's pencil pushers would ...

    Spy Shots: 2009 Porsche Cayman
    1173881160

    It looks like the relatively fresh Porsche Cayman will be staying one step ahead of the curve by undergoing an early touch-up. As these Brenda Priddy spy shots show, changes are afoot. Expected sometime next year, the 2009 model Cayman will feature a revised nose and rear fascia with reshaped lights that use LEDs. These are basically the same changes we ...

    Porsche Panamera test mule in the open
    1158212220

    Even though we've stood in front of it in Frankfurt, talked to the people instrumental in its existence and even told you when and where it will be produced, it still strikes us as odd to write about a four-door Porsche. It's coming, whether we're ready for it or not, and this latest sighting is evidence that the guys and gals in Stuttgart are hard at ...
