Randy's 'confident' commentary has made the case of why the Cayman should REPLACE the 911. It can drive around corners better than the 911. That means going through corners requires less braking and accelerating, thus improving lap times at a cheaper price. Also, while the Cayman may be a little slower in 0-60, it can expand its wheelbase to fit a bigger torquier engine unlike 911's limited engine bay. Therefore, the Cayman can be more able to compete with the Corvetter ZR1 and the Nissan GTR.
@unknownunknowns Well, let's not be silly, shall we? Cayman is not gonna replace the 911 EVER. But the next 911 will have the engine's center of gravity further in the middle of the car which is gonna help a lot
@unknownunknowns The purpose of Cayman is to be the less powerful, less expensive Porsche's offering. 911 is still keeping its rear seats anyway, so it won't be quite mid-engined yet btw.
@sspope If that's the case then there should be 911s that offer 1.5L engines. And what's the use of those rear seats? Only if you're raise an infant. I like the fact that the 911 constantly being refined but rear engine constantly throws the car outward at a corner and addressing it costs WAY too much money as the GT2 RS costs way more than the Corvette ZR1 and the Nissan GTR for about the same performance. That's where the mid-engined Cayman comes and it is possible to put turbos on it.
@unknownunknowns I own a cayman S and when porsche offers a 380bhp Cayman I will upgrade my current one.
Instead of the Cayman replacing the 911 I rather see the 911 redesigned as a mid engine. I like the fact you can get such a great little car with out spending 911 Money.
@Porschemovies I'm glad to seeing you agreeing with me but the Cayman is basically a 911 with the engine in the middle, so the 911 should be ditched to save money.

too few people know that the Cayman out-handles the 911...everyone assumes that the 911 must outperform the Cayman in all regards simply because it costs more
maybe i missed it, or they neglected to mention... does this have the optional LSD installed. the brakes certainly look standard. i don't doubt with the mentioned options ticked, this car will outperform any 911 up to gt3/ gt3rs in handling stakes
The Cayman S w/PDK is almost 300lbs lighter than the Nismo 370z. It goes to show how the weight and handling has an advantage. Being the Nismo is still new I'm curious to see what other options they make for it. However dropping 300lbs and some chassis adjustment to balance out the weight would do wonders for a new track time.
chassis has infinitely more to do with handling than weight...the 370z has a terrible chassis, a 3800lbs '10 Camaro drives circles around it on tracks...then again the GTR is almost 4000lbs, and a 2010 camaro with any mods on the planet can't keep up with a lightly moded 2002 camaro (3400lbs)...
Point being it's about the whole package, not 1 specific thing.
The other thing nice about the Porsche flat six is it's very low center of gravity. I drove an 09 recently and pushed it to the edge; it held the corners like a slot car, even on some negative cambered corners. I realize it's a lot more cash, but the 370Z can't hang with this thing on the corners. This is not to mention the comfort and luxury that comes with it. I guess you get what you pay for.
Well and it turns out that the d-belt on the blinker makes for a low pressure situation with pre-ambulation dragnificator. I would suggest machining .000000000000025 of the thermaldynameter to create the proper hydrothermal vacuumation in the Windscosity. Just a thought.
I agree. and its a porshe, a porshe is expensive because its a porshe, its supose to be expensive. the porshe also looks way better than the nissan. the poshe is the car id rather own, its so awesome. and plus the engine is in the back, which is really cool.
are you serious, the corvette is so crappy. it has a leaf spring suspension. the same as a 1970 pickup. and the 911 is way more fun to drive, is luxurious, and fuel efficient. And it looks way better than the corvette. the vette looks dull. I would much rather get the buetiful porshe.
it doesn't really matter what tech the car uses, it's outdated but it works pretty well doesn't it? The C6, Z06, and ZR1 would be awfully slow if it was true.
i wouldn't buy the cayman becuse of power and handling, i like the size of the cayman, i like the look of the cayman, i like the cayman!!! I would never doubt that a 911 could kick its ass but id buy the cheaper car that i like the looks of and put a couple more bucks into it via TecArt.... but id rather build a 1948 chevy pickup and a '65 Impala then buy any of todays cars
what is wrong with you people. this is what porshe was afraid of, making people think the cayman is better than the 911, because they would loose money if people choose to buy the cheaper cayman instead of the more expensive 911. the 911 is better and it always will be.
i read an article in a recent magazine where they took a ton of cars to the track, and the cayman s 911 turbo and one other porsche posted identical lap times. It was pretty weird. I'll try and find it if you like.
To all the people quoting Clarkson, he made those comments in reference to gen 1 Cayman. This is a gen 2 Cayman and Porsche re-tooled this car into something truly special instead of what Jeremy referred to as filling a gap. Many people are calling this better than a 911 and even possibly the best car Porsche makes... though I do think the gt3 probably is. Great car and not ridiculously expensive as a gt3.
I am just amazed on all the good reviews on this Cayman S. Kinda overshadowing the 911 reviews. Cannot believe it was picked as the Best Drivers Car, it beat the ZR-1, R8, XFR, CTS-V, etc.. To think that I thought this was just another car for people who cannot afford a 911. And it hits peak HP at 7200 RPM, damn. Better than the 911 S.
@amer1cancer2753 Damn straight buddy. good reviews off the chart, just started looking into the cayman.
Cayman > 911
Axe the 911, its existence is the cayman's only obstacle to supremacy.
upgrade cayman to 911 spec and make it the flagship. apart from engine power technically much better car than 911 and better looking too, rear engine heritage sucks, mid engine ftw.
its not that people cannot aford 911 - porsche cannot aford to biuld proper sport car (supercar) that whould be midengined becouse porsche brand is based on 911 marketing and history... I just wish porsche whould move forward
Porsche should suck it up, and tradition be damned, mid-engine the 911 with the next model. It seems like everyone who drives the Cayman says that with more power it would be better than a 911. They've already dropped the air cooling as of several generations ago which at the time was thought to be sacrilege.
i agree wth freddie 2199. if they put more power on that cayman, it would be good bye to 911 crown. make the 911 mid engine. it would really be the next king of the road.
yeah porsche wont do that because no one would buy the 911. many people feel that porsche deliberately made this car not as good as it easily could be so that it doesnt threaten the 911 sales
because of how many FPS (frames per-second) the camera is filming at, plus when they lower the video quality to fit on youtube, the FPS decreases, so if the tire is spining at a rate that catches the tire in the came location in every frame, the tire appears to be frozen
I had a 2007 Cayman S. These cars are so fun to drive--Pobst describes it perfectly. Unfortunately, mine had too much shop time so it was traded in for a 2008 Z51 Corvette; almost as fun and, thus far, fewer problems.
Exactly! Clarkson nailed the biggest problem with Cayman: it's only there to fill a marget gap. If you're going to put the engine behind the driver, put it in the middle. These days it's all about weight distribution. The days of weighing down the rear to reduce wheel spin and gain traction are long over. We have computers doing that nowadays. I think if they gave this thing the kind of love the 911 gets, there would no longer be a 911. Sad, but true.
a famouse car guy from the UK. he is the UK version of Jay Leno. Clarkson Has a TV Show "Top Gear" on the BBC's channel. A great show for car passion people. also a funny show sometimes.
It's truly amazing to see Porsche continue their prestige with their flat 6 for all these years. I mean competing against the V8 and V10 monsters of the world, Porsche has always overachieved without compromising. Lightweight, function over form.... these Porsche engineers are simply geniuses.
it ain't for nothing them Porches, Audi, BMW's, Mercedes', volkswagen's and company cost that kind of money. ask a german-car owner and he/she'll tell you...
Du kann nicht schlagen a Deutsch anderenfalls als mit a Deutsch.
@brocky The man in the video made it extremely clear that the Cayman is perhaps the best car made by Porsche and that the engine is in the right place. If Porsche's engineers were geniuses like you said, they would have realized 47 years ago that the 911's engine would forever compromise its performance. I will agree with you on the flat 6 in the Cayman. With the sport chrono pack, limited slip diff, PASM and carbon ceramic brakes, it is possibly the best sportscar on the market.
@brocky Yes I agree, I love six cylinders, mainly v6 and flat 6 configurations.. for me a Porsche isn't a Porsche unless it has a flat 6.. the weight is down low, just where it should be.
I have not really been a fan of porsche ( but I photohoped a picture of one and used it as my background image ) a few miles where I live there is an old porsche for sale..my dad said whatever amount I save up for a car he'll match it..so I may get an old porsche, an old Toyota Celica GT ( has flip up headlights ) a 57?ish Chevy Apache and other cars a guy owns..my dad has seen them but I am going to see them today or tuesday
many say that their cars look the same but there are soo beautifull that you can't judge them,they use that retro aamazing design that started with the first 911,and keeps being better and better as years go by,
They made the sports car design twelve years ago! They squished a beetle and took the roof off and called it a boxster which is still being sold as the same design twelve years later, and then they roof back on the squashed beetle and called it a Cayman 7 years ago and I cannot tell a differance in the styling that they have made because Porsche are so lazy when it comes to designing cars
i dont want to fight trolls by being a troll, and id hate to state the obvious, but the driver of the car has won so many championships and is one of america's best road racers. anyway, hope your mom dies of cancer.
You've got to be kidding me, the guy is a professional race driver who has (according to his web site, I just checked) won 9 professional championships and has won the 24 hrs of Daytona twice. Both the Audi and Porsche factory teams have paid him money to race their cars. What are your qualifications?
"D Motor - BF Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Cargraphic Porsche Turbo (1/2)"
check at :18, es ist ein Porsche, mit "E", basically in German all of the letters are produced with almost no variation in the pronunciation , other that umlauts and combinations like "eu" and some others. It's is very phonetically loyal to the way it's written.
its wierd everytime i ask my german classmates they pronounced it sha at the end, even the master mechanic of porsche (is german himself) in our place, spelled porsche, but pronunced differently. and at the vid u showed me, its pronounced porsha, damn maybe its my ear but, im sure its pronounced sha, and dont make me wrong i live in california, theres bunch of porsches here.
porsche did a good job with this car.. i think it was like the third fastest lap out of ten cars.. and it only has a naturally aspirited V-6.. really impressive
That's right, basically there's significantly fewer moving parts, so there's less power loss within the engine, do some research on it, it's really neat.
Smooth lap... looked very fast.

So this car won the whole Driver's car comparo.
In theory, what's better than this? A convertible Cayman!
There you go, Boxster is the best Porsche.

They made the sports car design twelve years ago! They squished a beetle and took the roof off and called it a boxster which is still being sold as the same design twelve years later, and then they roof back on the squashed beetle and called it a Cayman 7 years ago and I cannot tell a differance in the styling that they have made because Porsche are so lazy when it comes to designing cars

You've got to be kidding me, the guy is a professional race driver who has (according to his web site, I just checked) won 9 professional championships and has won the 24 hrs of Daytona twice. Both the Audi and Porsche factory teams have paid him money to race their cars. What are your qualifications?

It is not, it s pronounced with an "e" at the end.

it is, in german they dont say porsche as "porsch", or not even porsche, even tho its spelled porsche, its still pronounced as porsch-a
MrMicTest 2 years ago 3
"D Motor - BF Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Cargraphic Porsche Turbo (1/2)"
check at :18, es ist ein Porsche, mit "E", basically in German all of the letters are produced with almost no variation in the pronunciation , other that umlauts and combinations like "eu" and some others. It's is very phonetically loyal to the way it's written.
uncabronusername 2 years ago
its wierd everytime i ask my german classmates they pronounced it sha at the end, even the master mechanic of porsche (is german himself) in our place, spelled porsche, but pronunced differently. and at the vid u showed me, its pronounced porsha, damn maybe its my ear but, im sure its pronounced sha, and dont make me wrong i live in california, theres bunch of porsches here.

That's right, basically there's significantly fewer moving parts, so there's less power loss within the engine, do some research on it, it's really neat.
