Looks much better than the current gen.

Just looks more serious / grown!

What are the odds of them making one into a mini GT3!

I really hope they do, spec should be:-

360-380BHP
1275kg
Buckets
Cage (optional)

It would be an absolute weapon and would be devastating as a track car.

I'm sure it would be.

Either way, have to admire porsches passion for motorsport... I mean how many other marques like dishing out track cars!

Would you 911 gt3 owners not feel a little threatened?

GT3 or Cayman with equal performance.

Both will still drive different and be epic in different ways. The 911 would still be a 911 and thats the 911's big advantage its heritage and the way it feels.

Cayman shall be very tempting for me though, I've done front engine with FWD, 4WD and RWD. Now done rear engine with RWD, so next logical step is a mid-engined car.

Is it just me or has it some Ferrari about it on the front end?

Yeah looks like the California from the front profile.

I was thinking the same thing.... Then I looked up the 599 and was like "Ahhhhhhhhhhh"

Thats a very good advert aswell :cool:

They've really nailed the interior on the range now. Looks fantastic.

Yaayuh! · 30 Nov 2012 at 12:20

I must admit, i've never been a fan of Porsche apart from old school 911s. Just thought 'meh' pretty much across the range.

This however, i REALLY like. Looks beautiful.

It looks like a Panamera (and I mean that as a compliment as I want one for my next car in a couple of years)

Good ad. Thankfully I'm not at that age yet

PraxxtorCruel · 30 Nov 2012 at 13:19

As mentioned by others, looks like a boxed up Panamera.

Oh my word!

That is absolutely stunning! The interior is just awesome!

The sound of a 911 with a 2.5 litre 4 pot makes me sad.

Flat 6 all the way.

ScoobyDoo69 · 4 Dec 2012 at 14:21

2.5 litre 4 pot?

Sounds like a Subaru engine...

Never had a go in a Cayman, don't really understand the market for them. It's just an uglier, toned down version of the 911?

Cheaper. Mid engined.

If you try to understand a market again start by looking at the prices....
