It was built on a mid engine platform, as was the Boxter with which it also shared it’s suspension, and it drew from classic Porsche models for inspiration with regards to styling. A Cayman S Sport was also put into production from 2008 before the first generation model was replaced in 2009.
The second generation Cayman arrived in 2009 with the standard models engine increased to a 2.9 litre rather that the standard 2.7 litre of its predecessor. It arrived with two variants, the Cayman and the Cayman S which are different in terms of styling, the Cayman S also has a different engine, yet both have a 10hp advantage over the Boxter.
There is also a Cayman R variant available which is much lighter than the original Cayman as it features a different body kit, no air con, no radio and no storage compartments.
