2011 Porsche Cayman

2011 Porsche Cayman  

The 2011 Porsche Cayman is not a difficult question to Porsche. He has no style or straight-line performance of the 911 or any of its approximately 20 variants. He did not like the Boxster convertible top for both those seeking sun and fun. Nor is the Cayenne or Panamera - cars that, while fun, are not exactly what one might call classic Porsche.

All of these other models for sale to an increasing extent, but ironically it is the Cayman, which produces the purest driving experience. Cayman midengine beautifully balanced chassis, telepathic control, and not only reward a skilled driver, but also to maintain the Cayman lenient less experienced. Of course, impressive acceleration numbers 911 Turbo impress your friends more than the Cayman S with 5.0 seconds to sprint 00-60 mph. But the flat-6 is still exciting, and if you go around the corner really becomes the blood pumping, then the Cayman has few equals.

Porsche Cayman manage even cranked up a notch with the new R. 2011 Cayman Mainly fixed roof version of the Boxster Spyder, the new Cayman model R-bands of obesity in an attempt to support the handling and acceleration. Small things like cloth strap is news to major components such as air conditioning (you can always add that she and her 26 extra pounds if you wish), this lighter, meaner Cayman truly one with the addition of subtraction.

Remember, buying a car of such a dedicated driver has its drawbacks. Since it is essentially a Boxster with fixed roof, the cabin is on the narrow side, with legs and limited emissions limit. It is also quite expensive, because this lack of functionality and the fact that its convertible sibling is actually cheaper. This becomes even more expensive when you start sampling the endless list of features that make an impression of the U.S. Tax Code look like a pamphlet of Delaware tourism.

In fact, the 2011 Porsche Cayman concentrated too weird (and of questionable value) for many motorists. If so, then the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette and BMW M3 and the new M-1 series is probably your best bet. In the same price class, with a sweet edge, but the Audi S5. And if you want a car that is very focused even more outside the norm, then there's the Lotus Exige. All are great cars. But if you want to have the purest vision of a Porsche sports car, there is no substitute for the Cayman 2011.

Body styles, trim levels and options

The 2011 Porsche Cayman is a two-seater coupe available in the database, S, R and S Black Edition trim levels. Standard equipment includes 17-inch wheels, summer performance tires, cruise control, air conditioning, six-way seats (tilt power, manual / aft and height adjustment), a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth and system four-speaker audio system with CD player and an interface for the iPod / USB audio. The Cayman S adds a larger engine, 18-inch wheels and brake calipers painted red.

If you want to double the base price for the Cayman, Porsche happily obliges us to an endless list of options. Convenience package adds adaptive bi-xenon headlights, automatic dimming mirrors, automatic wipers and automatic climate control. Infotainment Package receives a navigation system, satellite navigation and a seven-speaker audio system.

A lot of these packages can be added separately with different designs and sizes of wheels, limited slip differential, adaptive suspension dampers, Ceramic composite brakes (S and R) and rear parking sensors. Inside, the options are fully powered seats, three different sports glands, heated seats, ventilated seats, sports steering wheel shift paddles PDK, a heated steering wheel audio controls, satellite, six-CD Bose 10-speaker surround sound system.

Sport Chrono Package adds lap timer, adjustable driver settings, and with PDK Launch Control. Then there are a number of customization options, which cover almost the entire inner surface of leather, Alcantara, aluminum, carbon fiber, wood trim and exterior paint.

The Cayman R is a lightweight version of standard equipment includes Cayman S. more power, 19-inch wheels, limited slip rear differential, sport suspension, fall, sports seats, sports steering wheel light (with or without KDP) and the exterior trim paint to match. That along the ditches on the air with a few pieces of finish, while the four-speaker is a free choice. Most of the regular options are available in the Cayman R (including climate control), but some luxury items such as ventilated seats and Bose stereo is not available. If these seats with mild cases can not be adjusted to your liking, regular sports seats are available in the Cayman Islands.

Engines and performance

2011 Porsche Cayman is powered by a 2.9 liters boxer six-cylinder (flat 6), which produces 265 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. Like every Cayman, rear-wheel drive and the standard six-speed manual gearbox. The optional seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission known as KDP. According to Porsche, the Cayman should go from zero to 60 mph about 5.5 seconds. EPA estimated fuel economy is 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined by hand, while the PDK impressive returns 20/29/24.

Porsche Cayman S receives a direct injection 3.4-liter flat-six good for 320 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Porsche estimates that it will go from zero to 60 km / h in 4.9 seconds. Surprisingly, fuel economy is the same as the normal Cayman with PDK, and only 1 mpg less on the highway with the manual. Cayman S gets an S version of the engine is mounted to 330 hp. They have to hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and the return of fuel economy as well as the standard S. Cayman

Security

Cayman comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, side airbags and side curtain airbags.

Interior Design and Special Features

The interior of 2011 Porsche Cayman Islands with quality materials and good car sports seats. The size of the center-mounted tachometer goes from high-throughput DNA Cayman, although the number of analog speedometer and the small range that is more decorative than functional - the trip computer, digital speedometer reading is more useful. Some controls are a bit fussy, but the control center of the current battery is much easier than ever - especially touch-screen navigation system.

Sharing much of its Boxster roadster cottage, the Cayman is by no means spacious. Foot space is narrower than the other two seater and 2 +2 coupe, while a small greenhouse can feel a little 'go. Positive, the standard seats are very comfortable and supported - the sport seats is not really necessary. The luggage compartment is 9 cubic feet available in the rear door (behind the engine and passenger compartment), and the front of the frame will expand the total storage capacity of 14.5 cubic meters. Despite this staggering total, although both departments are awkwardly shaped.

Driving Impressions

Thanks to its size, weight and design of small midengine modest, the 2011 Porsche Cayman extraordinary handling, getting to feel glued to the road and light on his feet at the same time. The roll is virtually nonexistent, and the variable proportion of direction is one of the best systems on the market. The new Cayman R, due to its lowered ride height and revised suspension is even better. However, R does not flow quite steep, and Porsche does not offer the optional adaptive suspension for it.

If you do not know the 320-hp Cayman S there is a likely basis for the 2.9-liter engine of the Cayman would never cast a negative word. Both are able and impressive - just depends on how you're wondering how a driver and as you are willing to throw down the $ 10,000 extra 0.6 seconds, acceleration 0-60. PDK transmission is a revelation, offering flawless performance of the automated manual shifting for those who prefer to row their own gears. We are not fans of the series of wheel buttons, but rather an optional paddle gearbox design. Worth the extra money.

Officially Official: Porsche releases 918 hybrid details, priced from $845,000

Porsche has announced that dealers the world over have begun taking orders for the company’s 918 Spyder. The plug-in hybrid will boast a 500-horsepower, 4.0-liter V8 engine and two electric motors capable of a combined 218 horsepower. Porsche says the hybrid powertrain will consume a mere 3.0 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers – or around 78 mpg. The German automaker hasn’t released any fuel economy estimates based on U.S. testing standards, though EPA figures are said to be on the way. Look for the gas-electric Porsche supercar to touch down on U.S. soil by late 2013.

If you want one, you better drop what you’re doing and get in line right now. The automaker says that it’s only planning to build 918 examples of the vehicle and that each of them will carry a lofty price tag of $845,000 plus destination and handling.

That’s a lot of coin, but with an electric motor at each axle, the 918 Spyder is projected to be able to launch to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. Top speed is said to be 199 mph, and Porsche believes that under the right conditions, the 918 will be able to drive on pure-electric power at speeds of up to 94 mph.

PRESS RELEASE:

Now available for ordering, the 918 Spyder will feature cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology and stunning performance, forever changing the future of the super sports car

ATLANTA – March 21, 2011 — After outstanding customer response to the concept car first shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, Porsche today announced that dealers around the world will begin taking 918 Spyder customer orders. This is a significant step toward actual production of the company’s next super sports car, a Porsche that marries unique plug-in hybrid technology and outstanding performance in a visually stunning and purely Porsche package.

The 918 Spyder will feature a high revving 500-plus horsepower V8 engine assisted by two electric motors with a total of at least 218 horsepower, yet Porsche estimates it will consume only 3.0 L/100 km based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Official EPA fuel economy figures or estimates will be announced just before the first customer cars begin arriving in the United States near the end of 2013.
To ensure the 918 Spyder’s worldwide exclusivity, Porsche will produce no more than 918 examples. Start of production at Porsche’s famed factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen is planned for Sept. 18, 2013 (9/18), and the U.S. base manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $845,000 (excluding destination and handling charges).

With its design inspired by past Porsches like the Carrera GT super sports car and the legendary 917 and highly successful RS Spyder race cars, the 918 Spyder remains faithful to the 2010 concept car. Unlike the concept car, the two-seat production version, based on a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic monocoque, will feature a manual roof system with removable panels that can be stored in the front luggage compartment.

Super high performance with very low fuel consumption and emissions

The 918 Spyder will be powered by a unique plug-in hybrid system that will include a high-revving, mid-mounted V8 engine with capacity of more than 4.0 liters and producing at least 500 horsepower. The engine will be based on the Porsche RS Spyder racing engine that demonstrated its impressive performance and efficiency through multiple Michelin Green X Challenge victories in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Power will be transferred to the rear wheels via Porsche’s compact, seven-speed Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch gearbox.

Two electric motors – one each on the front and rear axles – together will provide approximately 218 additional horsepower. This configuration also will offer an innovative, variable all-wheel drive system with independent control of the drive forces on both axles. Electrical energy will be stored in a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from a standard household outlet. Electric-only driving range is expected to be more than 16 miles on the NEDC. Recharge time will depend on each country’s electrical power network, but charging is expected to take about seven hours at 110V/10A in the United States. A quick-charge option is being evaluated to further reduce charging times.

With anticipated combined fuel consumption of just 3.0 L/100 km on the NEDC, this equates to CO2 emissions of only 70 g/km or 112 g/mile. On the other hand, the Porsche 918 Spyder will deliver super sports car performance. It is estimated that the final production version will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about 3.1 seconds on its way to an estimated top track speed of 199 mph. It should also tackle Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than 7 minutes and 30 seconds, two seconds faster than the Porsche Carrera GT. Under the right conditions, the 918 Spyder will be able to drive on electric power alone at speeds up to 94 mph for limited distances.

Customers who order the 918 Spyder also have the opportunity to acquire a special-edition 911 Turbo S Coupe or Cabriolet. Also limited to no more than 918 units, the 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder will have exterior and interior design elements echoing the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder supercar’s styling. It features similar exterior colors, carbon-fiber elements inside and out, enhanced leather equipment and numerous acid-green accents on items such as the brake calipers, illuminated sill plates, interior stitching and instrument cluster needles. A limited-edition badge on the glove compartment door will feature the same production number as the customer’s 918 Spyder.

Worldwide 918 Spyder customers can begin ordering this special edition 911 Turbo S sports car today, and customer deliveries will start later in 2011. The U.S. base manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for the Coupe and Cabriolet versions are the same as the standard 911 Turbo S models, $160,700 and $172,100 respectively, excluding destination.

2011 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Debuts In Paris

Proving once again that you really can’t have too much of a good thing, Porsche is unveiling a new flavor of 911 at this year’s Paris Auto Show. The Carrera GTS will be available in both coupe and convertible body styles, and will slot in just above the Carrera S in Porsche’s lineup.

The GTS sports an additional 23 horsepower from its 3.8 liter flat-six motor, thanks to a modified intake tract and exhaust. The motor is now good for 408 horsepower, but torque remains unchanged at 310 ft lbs.

Porsche claims a 0 to 100 kph (62 miles per hour) time of just 4.2 seconds, which makes the GTS one tenth of a second quicker than the Carrera S. Top speed also goes up by 2 miles per hour on the GTS, which is now said to be good for 190 mph.

The Carrera GTS will be available with both six speed manual and Porsche’s PDK double clutch automatic transmissions. The car will be launched in the EU first, and is expected to hit dealer showrooms by the end of this year. You can expect to see it in U.S. Porsche dealer showrooms some in Q1 2011.

Rumor: 2012 Porsche Cayman Clubsport headed for LA Auto Show

According to Porsche enthusiast site Planet-9.com, a hardcore version of the Cayman, dubbed CS or Clubsport, will be shown at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show in December. This isn't the first time we've heard rumblings of a lighter, more powerful Cayman, but now that Porsche has successfully launched the Boxster Spyder, it's only fitting that the same sort of package be offered on its harder-core hardtop sister.

Expect the Clubsport to produce around 333 horsepower from its 3.4-liter flat-six, an increase of 13 hp over the Cayman S. From there, lightweight 19-inch wheels will be standard, as will fabric door pulls, aluminum body components and a slightly revised front fascia that we've seen on the Boxster Spyder. Obviously, the real goal with a Clubsport model is lightness, and Planet-9 reports that the CS should be about 162 to 184 pounds lighter than the stock Cayman S.

If the LA Auto Show reveal stands true, the Cayman CS should be hitting the road sometime in 2011 as a 2012 model, priced from around $66,300. Fingers crossed, everyone.

Maserati Quattroporte gets served up Novitec Style.

Anytime German auto tuner Novitec gets its hands on an exotic car you know that good things will happen. They’ve done multiple Ferrari’s, Audi’s, Porsche’s and BMW’s along with just about every other high-end manufacturer out there, and with this they’ve managed to build a reputation as one of the best exotic car tuning companies in the business. It now seems Novitec has gotten the bug to play with Maserati’s as it has just released a complete package for the Quattroporte S and Sport GTS.

By supercharging the engine from the Maserati GTS Novitec has managed to increase power from a base of 440 hp to a whopping 600 hp. This means 0-60 times of just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of around 195 mph. Also keep in mind that this is still a big 4 passenger grand touring car. For $36,000 you get one supercharger, water-cooled inter-coolers, reinforced V-ribbed belts, fuel injectors and everything else you’ll need to make your once fast Maserati a whole hell of a lot faster.

2011 Audi A7 Sportback Continues 4-Door Coupe Craze

Not to be outdone by the likes of Aston Martin, BMW or Porsche, Audi has jumped into the sportback segment of the automotive market with the new A7. The concept of the sportback is simple. Take a four door sedan but streamline it so it gives off the impression that it is in fact a two door coupe. Then combine in the versatility of a hatchback and POOF… instant sportback. Porsche has the butt ugly Panamera, BMW has the 5 Series Gran Turismo and Aston Martin now has the stunning Rapide.

Design wise it’s difficult to make a car in this configuration and have it look good. In fact up until now Aston Martin was the only manufacturer to nail it. Audi however is coming in hard and fast with the A7 and truth be told, it’s a good looking automobile. The new A7 has design elements that give its body line a low-slung, aerodynamic look and feel. Combine that with the long sloping hood and chopped rear deck lid and you have one aggressive looking gran touring sedan.

From a visual standpoint the A7 is light years ahead of BMW’s 5 Series Gran Turismo and Porsche’s turtle shaped Panamera. The real question though is how is this going to affect the sales of Audi’s other big beauty, the A8. Side by side both cars exude power, elegance and sophistication, as a buyer though I’d think I’d be torn on which one to buy.

From a technical standpoint the new 2011 Audi A7 features fun toys like touchscreen navigation, a Bang & Olufsen stereo system with 1,300 watts of power (that may be overkill), full bluetooth capabilities and just about every current automotive safety feature known to man. Right now there is not too much information for those of us here in the States, but stay tuned because as soon as we learn more, you’ll learn more.
