According to a post on the German Car Forum Porsche have given a green light to the production of a lightweight clubsport version of the mid-engined Cayman coupé. The new model is said to be due for a pubic debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November and will be badged as the Cayman CS. Sales should commence in 2011.
If you’re expecting this to be a Boxster Spyder wearing a tin hat you’re probably around the mark. At least, the Cayman CS follows a similar path of a modest power increase in a lighter shell, with a focus on sharper handling.
The Cayman CS could be up to 80kg lighter than a regular model, while packing an extra 13hp from its 3.4 litre flat six. Other items thrown in or tweaked include 20mm lower suspension, aluminium doors with fabric door pulls, locking rear differential, larger fixed ducktail rear spoiler and an optional Track Pack, featuring a GT3-like roll cage.
