Sometimes I just can’t resist. I hate putting up the same stuff everyone else does. I saw this come through a bunch of car sites I watch, and even held off from posting, but I’m looking at the pictures again this morning and I just have to add them.
A very observant person stumbled on what appears to be the next gen Porsche Cayman in an undisclosed location. Took some pics and added them to Instagram. A VW Vortex Forum user had them in a post.
Porsche has been pretty tight lipped about the Cayman specifically, but hinted at the world premiere of a compact sports car at the LA Auto show on November 28th. This could be it!
The coming model year Porsche Cayman is anticipated to carry the same 2.7-liter flat six engine used in the Porsche Boxster. Output is expected to be in the 275 hp range. The Cayman S will hopefully have the current 3.4-liter power plant with a bump up to 330 hp.
I fell in love with the Cayman a couple of years ago when I helped a buddy of mine drive his Porsche Cayman Design Edition from Southern California to Oregon. Was an unbelievable trip and an equally unbelievable car. Although not a Porsche 911, the staple car of Porsche’s brand, it is arguably better in many ways with it’s mid-engine setup.
I personally love the styling of the car in the pictures. The side scoops really do it for me and I like the way the styling of the car feels like it’s matured over the years. I can’t wait to see if this is the one that gets unveiled this coming week!

I have a Cayman S and I really do feel that Porsche made a nice liltte car but it does sound lame. it seems quite subtle and soft. The Borla exhaust seems like the right way to go however I fear that my neighbours will just hate me. At the moment I roll out of the garage, engine off, in neutral until I hit the street and then start up while rolling downhill. Well, I only do this in the middle of the night so that I don’t scare the kids. With the Borla I would have no options at all.
