2011 Porsche Sport Cars Cayman R
A couple days ago Porsche released a press statement saying that it will unveil a new “mid-engine sports car” at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, it’s 2011 Porsche Cayman R. The Porsche alphabet reserves the letter R for very special sports cars: R for responsive and refined – but most especially for racy. The new Cayman R combines all these attributes without compromise. 2011 Porsche Sport Cars Cayman R has further developed the car by reducing weight, increasing horsepower and raising agility and handling to new heights.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9uTXe5QhuxBtrby8-riHVRfTxDSntPaEdYqLsahzO4_0ga7fTajrlHphN1M2eGrg2vSuY_WiC-rMhiZNbcVoZA1xpWOMsWeqzXKIpvp8_yhE_BIsa_o2Zz62-LvBTZCQGExz7hWVf7TE/s400/2011-Porsche-Sport-Cars-Cayman-R-6.jpg)
Weighing 55 kg less than the equivalent Cayman S, and the new mid-engine coupé from Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is designed for spectacular road behaviour, the 330 hp Porsche Cayman R has been created for one reason: pure, distilled driving dynamics. With its highly-tuned sports suspension and vigilant attention to weight savings, the new Cayman model offers a driving experience even more precise than that of the acclaimed Cayman S. The 2011 Porsche Sport Cars Cayman R makes its world debut today at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
