Porsche gives more information on the Cayman S Sport and reveals the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2

A few days ago my colleague Denns brought us the first official image of the Porsche Cayman S Sport, a sportier edition with 303 CV under its bonnet.

We now have more photographs and information about this one and… surprise, another one as well. Let’s start with the novelty, the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2. Its 3.4-litre 6-cylinder delivers the same power as the new version of the Cayman S, 303 CV, which means 8 CV more than the S models.

Its aim is to continue the tradition of special editions on the Boxster S, following the disappearance from dealerships of the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster 60 RS Spyder. Painted in Carrara White (not Carrera), it features 19″ wheels, also in white, as well as the side air intakes and some of the console controls in the interior.

Nevertheless, so much white is dressed up with three thin grey stripes running along the bodywork from the front to the rear and also along the side, marking its sporty character. The colours of the leather and roof, in stone grey and black, will also provide contrast.

The Cayman S Sport sets aside some of that formal beauty and becomes a bit more radical, drawing inspiration from the GT3. Orange (pictured) and green will be the two colours initially offered before others are added later.

It also inherits from the GT3 a taste for contrasting everything with black: air intakes, wheels, mirrors, interior… The adjustable active suspension system -PASM- lowers it by 10 millimetres relative to the ground and gives 5 millimetres more clearance to the wheels, which, by the way, are 19″ SportDesign wheels as on the Boxster.

Bi-xenon headlights, sports seats, Sports Chrono Package, a twin central exhaust outlet similar to the GT3, as well as the handbrake, gear lever in Alcantara and steering wheel rim identical to the GT3.

In short, it makes the most of that legendary extreme version of the 911 in a smaller model. But it will be available to few and for a short time, since Porsche expects to repeat its sales success with the 500 units of the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 and the 700 units of the Cayman S Sport. The first will sell at a final price of 65,539 euros and the second at 69,942 euros; in Germany, of course. 4,500 euros of difference, and although it’s ugly to choose, I would pay the difference.
