Porsche Cayman 2012 Saudi Arabia Prices & Specs

Porsche is offering a "new" Cayman model from 2009, and while the facelift is barely noticeable, the real changes are under the bonnet. Still available in base and S versions, both models feature more horsepower, new gearbox choices and modern multimedia options. A lightweight Cayman R model debuted in early 2011 with slightly more power. The base Cayman now has a 2.9-litre flat-6, while the Cayman S and Cayman R have a 3.4-litre flat-6 with direct fuel injection technology. A Cayman S Black Edition model also gets the R engine. While a 6-speed manual is standard on all, the optional new 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) dual-clutch automanual gearbox is also available, which actually improves acceleration and fuel economy. The Cayman is priced at a premium over the Boxster, for what amounts to a slight bump in power and a fixed top. Cosmetic changes from 2009 include new headlights and tail lamps, larger front intakes with integrated running lights, and an altered lower rear-end with twin diffusers. Both models can be fitted with a never-ending list of optional features, which can drive up the total price by 30% or more. While the basic models are very bare on features, the car can be optionally outfitted with a hardtop, various types of expensive cloth or leather sports seats, different 18-inch or 19-inch alloy wheel designs, a new Porsche Communication Management System (PCM) with a touchscreen, Bluetooth, TV tuner, DVD changer, metallic paint, stickers, wind deflector, roll bars, headlamp cleaners, Xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, and a cabin that can be trimmed with carbon-fibre, aluminium, alcantara or wood.
