Detroit 2011 Porsche Cayman R

Alongside the new supercar Porsche 918 RSR, the hybrid concept car, “spectacular”, which the manufacturer of Horse of Stuttgart has unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show 2011, there is another R: the new Porsche Cayman is exposed once again R United States, after Los Angeles Motor Show 2010, an event that was exploited for the official presentation (international premiere). It is (as we had already got to understand, when we met, in October) of the closest connecting link, at the moment, between the small mid-engined coupe, Cayman, and the largest – and noble – sister 911.

The new Porsche Cayman R, perhaps to silence those who have accused of poor sportsmanship and who has watched with low regard, expresses a new rate of aggression: lightweight at 1,295 pounds, equivalent to less than fifty-five Porsche Cayman S and thirty-five fewer than the Porsche Cayman, and power increased to 330 horsepower at 7,400 rpm, equivalent to ten more than the Porsche Cayman S and sixty-five more than a Porsche Cayman. Li produces the same engine version of S: ie, a 3.4-liter gasoline engine (3463 cm cubic capacity), six horizontally opposed (boxer), which also provides 270 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm.

The new Porsche Cayman R can be equipped with manual transmission or six-speed automatic gearbox with the new dual-clutch PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) seven-speed (in this case, however, the weight goes up to 1320 kilograms). Cayman R means a top speed of 282 km times (280 by PDK) and means you can go from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds (4.9 with PDK with Sport Chrono Package Plus 4.7). In order to ensure a similar threshold of thinness, the carmaker Porsche Cayman subjected to a strict diet, eliminating all that is not useful (like, for example, the audio system) and using lightweight materials for the construction of the R version .
