The Car Enthusiast - First Drive: Porsche Cayman S with PDK






(!)




































































In the Metal

A PowerPoint slide highlighting the visual changes marking out the Cayman S at its Spanish launch cause a ripple of laughter in the room, as Porsche's spokesman points out the 'extensive' styling revisions. The changes are far from extensive, amounting to new lights front and rear, mildly altered bumpers and that's about it. But why mess with a proven formula? After all, Porsche is the master at finessing its shapes as its model ranges evolve.

The result of the updates is a slightly different looking Cayman, the differences slight but effective in giving the Cayman a slightly more aggressive look that's got a few hints of the Carrera GT about it. No complaints there then. Inside, it's the same gentle evolution that Porsche undertook with the facelifted 911. There's a new centre console with improved telematics and that's about it. Again, nothing to get overly excited about, but welcome revisions nonetheless.
