In celebration of thirty-five years of fine watches--sorry, chronographs--Porsche's Design Studio has worked its magic on the Cayman S to make this special edition model, of which 777 will be built. The car uses black more liberally than a high school goth-rock band, with black chrono-inspired gauges, black alcantara on the steering wheel and headliner, black leather seats, and black paint with, you guessed it, matte black stripes.
In fact, the only metal not painted black is found on the 19-inch wheels sourced from the 911 Turbo. Non-aesthetic modifications are limited to the suspension, which gives this Cayman a ride height that's ten millimeters lower than stock. Each car also gets an individually-numbered plaque on the dashboard, and a briefcase full of Porsche Design goodies in the trunk. The Germans will get first dibs on the Edition 1 in November, with the U.S. cars arriving in January. Pricing doesn't matter--by the time you read this, they'll probably be sold out already.

I do feel Sinister.

Don't mind the Porsche Design lettering down the side, but did they really have to write it along one of the hood stripes? Otherwise, it's awesome. I saw a 911 Turbo just the other day and thought, "wow, those wheels would look pretty sweet on a Cayman" and tada! Here they are, on a Cayman.

Maybe allocations to dealers, but I don't think I would have a problem at this point securing a $70k? Cayman S (even though it's a limited model).

Gorgeous car...I can only imagine how much better it looks in person

IMO, the Cayman is one of the most attractively designed cars in a long time. It's right up there as one of the prettiest Porsches ever

stripes and black on black with a little parts bin raiding. I respect porsche design and even have a fuji camera I bought in part because it was porsche design. nice car but this is minimal effort from some truly capable designers...nothing more than a customer fleecing "special edition" package.sorry

I used to like Club Sports, and X50 option turbos and that sort of stuff. Should I really care that Porsche just stole an idea (and not for the first time) from Pontiac/Volkswagen?
#16
Yuck.
#17
Nice!!!!
I come to TCL for all my auto, dating and financial advice.
#18
Hmmm, Porsche Design Cayman S or Boxster S Orange. Choices choices....That Cayman is freaking hot though.

I believe those would predate the various Wolfsburg Edition, 337, 20thAE, Fahrenheit, etc. cars you're referring to.

Alas, I'm a couple of insolvent years away from the Boy Racer.
If I can hurry up and make room in my garage, it will look exactly like this:

Any wide-screen pictures of the Porsche design?

I think i'd still rather have a new M3 for that kind of money. Anyone else?

Deciding not to get into the Spec Focus game? Or are you putting *gasp* two F-cars in the stable?
;D

Edited so as not to be an utter cone about it. There's room in this hobby of ours for Mustangs and Porsches. In fact, there's even room in my garage for Mustangs and Porsches.
Now for a Porsche "The More You Know": Which was the last Porsche to be designed by a man with the last name Porsche, and how does it relate to this car?

I never really liked the italicized lettering used on Porsche's gauges, but these gauges are beautiful.The lettering on the stripes is cheesy.
Why isn't the center stack black?
