 ABOUT:

The Porsche Cayman is a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupe derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster. Like the Boxster, most Cayman's were assembled in Finland for Porsche by Valmet Automotive (the rest are assembled in Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart, Germany). Porsche's Deputy Chairman, Holger P. Haerter stated that their contract with Valmet Automotive will end in 2012, and the Cayman's production will be outsourced to Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik of Graz, Austria. (Panorama, 2008). More recently, as Volkswagen assumed ultimate control of Porsche AG, that agreement fell through, and the production of both Cayman's and Boxster's after 2012 will be in the former Karmann plant in Osnabruck, Germany, now owned by Volkswagen and used for production of the new 2012 Golf Cabriolet.
Cayman is an alternate spelling of caiman, a reptile in the same family as the alligator. The car is not named after the Cayman Islands, rather the islands also derive their name from the caiman. On the same day that the first Cayman's arrived at dealerships for sale, Porsche adopted four caimans at Stuttgart's Wilhelma Zoo.
Porsche has been protective of their Cayman trademark and in 2009 the sports car maker brought an infringement lawsuit against Croce  the maker of the popular rubber shoes. At issue was the footwear companies clog name also called Cayman. An injunction was granted against Crocs Europe, a division of the Long mont, Colorado based shoe company preventing their use in Germany of the Cayman name.
Even though the new 2.7 has 0.2-liters less displacement than the engine it replaces (the 2.9), at 275 bhp it actually makes 10 bhp more than its predecessor. The bigger 3.4's also up by 5 bhp to 325 bhp in the S model. The power curves for both are a notch above the outgoing engines too, so they make more power at the same RPM. Now Porsche has stapled on a bunch of clever electrical stuff, they're up to 15 per cent more efficient too (the 2.7 does 34.4 mpg and the 3.4 32.1 mpg). The battery gets charged more intensively during braking and coasting phases, and the alternator charge current can be reduced when the battery is fully charged.
Now, the body. It's entirely new, 47 kg lighter and made up of steel and aluminium, only using the former when strictly necessary (around 44 per cent of the new Cayman shell is aluminium). But despite the weight saving, torsional rigidity's increased by 40 per cent, which seems staggering considering how well the outgoing car handled. Porsche promise that it "drives more precisely than ever before" but we hope it's not lost any of the old ‘uns lovely ride quality.The design language, interior and engine lineup, we have seen it all in the previously announced Boxster. When compared to the previous generation, the new Cayman is 66 lbs lighter and 15 percent more fuel efficient. Engine’s output has also been increased by 10 horsepower in the standard model and by 5 horsepower in the S version.
