Cayman S: Design Edition 1

2070814_002_mini2l.jpgPorsche has announced the release of the very limited Cayman S Design Edition 1. Keeping the production to only 777 models, you can guarantee this black beauty will sell out fast. Porsche Design has done an excellent job of creating a consistent flow of a race ready Cayman. The added graphite hood and door graphics create a sleek design that fades tastefully into the glossy black paint. The black exterior of the Edition 1 emphasizes the purist nature of the 295-bhp sports car and, at the same time, is a nod to Porsche Design and the famous Chronograph 1s designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche precisely 35 years previously.

Wrapping these beauties with 235/35 ZR 19 tires at the front axle and the 265/35 ZR 19 tires at the rear. Lowering the Cayman 10mm has also increased handling. Those looking for major mechanical changes will be disappointed. The special edition has the same 295 horsepower boxer-six as the standard Cayman S (not that I’m complaining). Although a minor increase in power would have been justifiable given the new look.

    I was searching for information about \’Ca Interior Decorators\’, and this your page (\’Cayman Design Edition 1 | The Porsche Pit.com\’) was in search results. Not sure why it appeared, but your site is still interesting to read :)
