Porsche has officially given the green light to a new lightweight Cayman model variant due to debut for the 2012 model year. The Cayman CS or "Club Sport" will be shown at the Los Angeles auto show later this year and go on sale in 2011 as a 2012 model. The CS will receive some of the same treatment given to the recent Boxster Spyder such as lighter weight components, fabric door pulls, and a uniquely styled set of lightweight wheels modeled after those on the GT2 RS. Recent press reports indicated that this new variant was shown to Sales Managers in US and Europe at recent internal Porsche meetings and given the positive response from their dealership network Porsche has chosen to move forward with production.

A number of technical items have been circulated internally among the team responsible for this variant and include the following:

• 333hp 3.4L engine
• Sport PASM suspension - 20mm lower than stock ride height
• A/C, stereo are optional
• 162-184lbs lighter than stock Cayman S
• Aluminum doors, fabric door pulls
• Lightweight hatch, optional lexan window (europe only)
• 19" unique lightweight wheels
• Sport bucket seats
• Revalved steering assist
• Locking rear differential standard
• Uprated brakes (optional)
• Restylized front fascia
• Cayman Club Sport side graphics
• Rear diffuser
• Ducktail-style larger rear spoiler (fixed)
• Club Sport Insignia badging in interior
• Optional "Track Pack", includes partial roll cage, harness and fittings plus fire extinguisher (europe only)
• Cited performance numbers - 0-62 in 4.6s
• Base Price: $66,330

 

Great post buddy!

 

Really can't wait to see this... After the Boxster Spyder, I've got high hopes!

 

Thanks DJ!

I agree, this is going to be a sweet sweet car!

 

Done. I'm definitely buying one. Thanks for the info - it confirms a lot of what I'd heard about this car. Sounds like a perfect candidate for factory delivery. Alzilla knows what my color scheme will be...

 

Show me the new Ducktail!

 

If, and its a big if, I can get the track kit parts and the Lexan bits this might be my next car.

 

A sweet car with a great potential. Cant wait to see one on the road..

 

OK, I whipped this up in 10 mins so it's not great but this would look cool INMO!
