<p>Some will say that the Cayman is an interpretation of a hard-top Boxster, but I've never agreed with that ideology. The Cayman is more focused, faster and with that fixed roof, has always had a completely different agenda than the Boxster. But when it comes to power and performance, the Cayman sits squarely in between the Boxster and 911. Launched at Zebra Sq in KL yesterday evening, this new iteration of Cayman promises an even smaller gap between the three models. Also breaking cover together with the Cayman were the Cayenne S Diesel and Cayenne Turbo S models.</p>

<p>Taking cues from both the Boxster and 911, the all-new Cayman features many improvements - longer wheelbase, shorter overhangs, wider track, lightweight body design, and better efficiency figures as well. There will be two choices of powerplants: a 2.7-litre Cayman (275PS/290Nm/5.7secs) and a 3.4-litre Cayman S (325PS/370Nm/5.0secs). Although the standard Cayman has a smaller displacement than its predecessor, the 2.7-litre mill is the first Cayman to break the 100hp/litre barrier. Peak power is up by 10hp and 5hp at a higher 7,400rpm for the base and S models respectively. Standard tech, specific to our Malaysian market now includes bi-xenons adaptive headlamps, adaptive cruise control (ACC), as well as a specially developed Burmester sound system.</p>

<p>Porsche-philles will be glad to note that a six-speed manual transmission comes as standard, with the seven-speed PDK an optional upgrade. Most Caymans (Caymen?) sold are bound to have been specced with PDK boxes, but for the proper enthusiast, this new Cayman will be the only car in the Porsche line-up which allows them to get their hands dirty. That said, the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) remains a super quick and efficient bit of engineering, with the latest generation featuring better performance and economy figures.</p>

<p>In the dynamics department, Porsche have worked their magic to ensure there's dynamic performance and agility, but also comfort as well as everyday driveability. standard chassis with conventional hydraulic, gas-filled shock absorbers has been completely redesigned. The front axle with optimised lightweight design MacPherson spring struts has been redesigned. Its new struts are more compact than those of the previous model, making them stiffer and more precise in maintaining camber. New, lightweight aluminium support bearings for the struts isolate the forces transferred to the shock absorbers and auxiliary springs for even better chassis tuning. The front axle cross members have also been designed to be optimized for crash strength and rigidity.</p>

<p>Improved anti-dive characteristics reduce the degree to which the body front section dives during full braking and shortens the braking distance. The rear suspension was developed based on the previous version. As with the front suspension, many components were made lighter, but without compromising stiffness and rigidity. The suspension components consist primarily of aluminium. For reasons of stiffness, components exposed to high stresses are made of sheet steel and are thus lighter and more compact than comparable light metal components.</p>

<p>But what about its looks? Visually, I never gelled with the previous generation Cayman, but I have to say that the new car looks better. However, I will admit that, roof aside, I now have trouble identifying Cayman from Boxster. From a low-angled front view, the only telling signs seem to be the LEDs and air-intake. There's no doubt that this new car is more appealing, but I wish more effort was put to giving it a more individual flair - especially when Porsche has openly claimed the Cayman to be a stand-alone model.</p>

<p>Base prices for the Cayman and Cayman S starts from RM500k and RM610k respectively, and by now our readers should know just how extensive the options, as well as prices, can get. We'll have a first impression of how the Cayman and Cayman S drives later this week, so do stay tuned to us for our report and more detailed pictures.<br />
