Porsche Cayman R (2011) Updates

Friday, 01 June 2012 12:30 PM Porsche recalled certain 2011-12 models, including the Cayman, to repair a potentially defective seat belt anchor plate. This recall underscores the importance of safety even in high-performance vehicles like the Cayman R. I think its reassuring to see manufacturers taking proactive steps to ensure safety.

Sunday, 15 May 2011 07:36 AM The pricing of the Cayman R was a topic of discussion, with the base model starting at around £51,728. While some might find the pricing strategy and optioning a bit complex, the overall package of the Cayman R justifies the cost. I believe that for those who can afford it, the Cayman R is a worthwhile investment.

Sunday, 01 May 2011 04:18 PM In terms of driving experience, the Cayman R is praised for its brilliant handling and responsiveness. The stiffer suspension and recalibrated anti-roll bars improve body control, and the steering accuracy is enhanced. However, the fixed-rate suspension can be too firm for rough roads, particularly in the UK. I think this makes it essential to test drive the car on various road conditions before purchasing.

Wednesday, 20 April 2011 09:21 AM In comparison to other cars in its class, the Cayman R stands out for its balanced mid-engined layout, making it more accessible and less risky to drive. It is often compared to the Lotus Evora S and BMW M3, but its unique blend of performance and handling sets it apart. I think the Cayman R offers a unique driving experience that is hard to match.

Friday, 15 April 2011 03:16 PM Despite its performance-oriented nature, the Cayman R has some practical considerations. It lacks air conditioning and a radio as standard, though these can be added as options. The car also has a smaller 54-liter fuel tank, which can be upgraded to a 64-liter tank at no extra cost. I believe these sacrifices are worth it for the enhanced performance and handling.

Friday, 01 April 2011 03:47 PM The Cayman R is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or the optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox. The PDK version reduces the 0-62mph time to 4.9 seconds, while the manual version takes 5.0 seconds. Both versions have improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to the Cayman S. I think the PDK option is a great choice for those who want quick and seamless gear shifts.

Tuesday, 15 March 2011 07:20 PM One of the notable features of the Porsche Cayman R is its aggressive design, including a new front bumper, fixed rear spoiler, and black wing mirrors. These aesthetic changes, along with the Porsche decals, give the Cayman R a more aggressive look compared to the Cayman S. The suspension is also 20mm lower, and the car comes with a standard locking rear differential. I believe these design elements and mechanical tweaks make the Cayman R stand out as a serious performance car.

Tuesday, 01 March 2011 04:38 PM The Cayman Rs technical upgrades include a new exhaust manifold and ECU program, which liberate an extra 9hp from the 3.4-liter engine. The car also features a revised front splitter and a fixed rear spoiler, reducing lift by 15% and 40%, respectively. I believe these technical enhancements contribute significantly to the cars overall performance.

Sunday, 27 February 2011 11:12 PM The Porsche Cayman R, launched in 2011, is a stripped-down and performance-enhanced version of the Cayman S. It features aluminium doors from the GT3, lightweight 19-inch alloys, and bucket seats, resulting in a 55kg weight reduction. The car also boasts a 3.4-liter flat-six engine with 10 more horsepower than the Cayman S, reaching a total of 326hp. I think this focus on weight reduction and power increase makes the Cayman R a compelling choice for performance enthusiasts.

Wednesday, 17 November 2010 08:45 PM The Porsche Cayman R was showcased at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, highlighting its position as a lighter and faster version of the Cayman S. With its 3.4-liter flat-six engine producing 326hp, it edges closer to the performance levels of the 911 Carrera. I believe this positioning makes the Cayman R an attractive option for those who want near-911 performance without the higher price tag.
