Ignore the color... picture a nice silver or white. Along with the Boxster R, this is the closest thing to perfection you can get, and I think I covet this car above all others.

I love the color.

I love the color. 

I also like it, but it wouldn't personally choose it.

[Cookie Monster]

Do want.

While I love this thing, I don't know if I'd have it over a Boxster Spyder. I LOVE, love, love that thing.

That's just a Boxster with a useless tent for a roof.

The convertible roof design kills it for me, plus I tend to prefer solid roofs.

It's the same idea as this car, except it's a roadster. I love roadsters (I'm not a huge fan of 4-seat 'verts, however), having been in an NSX driven spiritedly with the targa top off, it's an awesome, awesome feeling.

Yeah, the colour is a bit off...

but I think they got the stance pretty well down .

You can still get a regular convertible Boxster though. It's a wee bit slower, but still quick.

The Cayman S is far and away my favourite Porsche, and the R is the S but better, so I guess the R is now my favourite.  I just don't like the "PORSCHE" stripe down the rocker panel.  I know it's "traditional", but I still don't like it.

[sportyaccordy]

When is Porsche gonna stop pussyfooting around and give this car the 3.8L it deserves?

I'm pretty sure it's a delete option, but I love it.

The current engine is perfect for the car, IMO. And Porsche isn't going to do anything that might hurt 911 sales... like putting the 911 engine in a mid-engine car.

Take it to Sharkwerks.  Guarantee they'll do a 3.8 or even 3.9 swap.  (3.9 = 500hp & 8500rpm+)

This chassis is begging for more power

Your mom is begging for more power. 



As much as I love this car, the 911 Turbo S will always be the Porsche for me.

A turbo/intercooler would be nice, bringing power to 400-450 hp.

There have been kits for years.

They need to make one at Zuffenhausen

It would destroy the 911.

[Onslaught]

If only I had more money.

A measly 3.8-l? Dude, it needs a 354509043043043.2-l V12 with 320943054493032230920020329032032032-hp. Imagine the 0-60 time of that thing!

We get it Wimmer. North Americans have no concept of performance cars, and think horsepower and 0-60 times are all that matter.

Ok, I'll stop this. 

I still think it needs a 43909054045-hp.... 

Ok, I'll stop!

Here's the car in different colors. I like the green color though. 

[cawimmer430]

And here's the typical target market of this car. 

[the Teuton]

I'm sure she can drive a stick. I'm just not sure she can drive a manual.

Oh my god. My heart stopped at the white one. Then I saw the blue one. I even love the yellow.

I want... no. I need this car.

I prefer the green one. That color is really pimp.
