    Depends on the rims.  In Carrara's rendering the rims are probably more aggressive than will be offered, but Porsche will have some good "manly" ones available.  Just painted black will also make a manly difference...

    An thanks everyone for the compliments! I did in fact base the design of the air intakes on those latest spy shots.

    2013 Porsche Cayman spied up close...

    (10 February 2012)

    The 2013 Porsche Cayman's isn't expected to debut until later this year, still sightings of test vehicles are becoming more and more frequent and today is no exception. Our spies have caught again a prototype doing another round of testing and we are fortunate to get shots of it pretty close giving us our best look yet at the distinguishing features.
     
    The exterior design mimics the styling of its open-top brother - the 2013 Boxster Roadster that Porsche first released official details of earlier this year. The main difference being the fixed roof that the Cayman features.
     
    The Cayman is expected to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    I can't see the 981 Cayman offering any big surprises - just the new Boxster with a coupe top, like the present one. It would be great if the car had the 345bhp 3.4 of the base Carrera, but of course Porsche's unfounded paranoia that it would take sales from the Carrera would prevent that happening. So, I fear that like the Boxster there will be a pathetic 5 bhp uplift on the current car. Smiley

    Pathetic is indeed the key word - especially given the price one will be paying for a well specced car.

    Did you see the video of a Boxster Spyder outrunning an Audi R8 Spyder V8 on the track? This was posted in another thread.

    The Boxster Spyder is probably one of the greatest Porsches of all time.

    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    Has anybody managed to get the factory to make P seats which are a combination of leather and the red/black  fabric which could be from the late 50's and was updated in a recent luggage set. I envision the seat and back rest in fabric and the rest in black leather. Early GT1 from VW had similar fabric. Combined with GT silver I think it would look very  "retro" in the new Boxster. Europeans may have this option which the US is unaware of.

    Thanks for any guidance

    Apparently, Porsche Exclusive will do anything you want, at a price.

    You will need to wait until 981 production ramps up a before full Exclusive becomes available.

    Email Porsche Exclusive .. they are very helpful.

    Me too - despite my compulsive car purchasing habits am struggling to find anything that will get me out of mine at the moment.

    Looking forward to seeing the new Boxster in the flesh though, still not quite doing it for me on the pictures, but am happy to be proved otherwise :D


    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    I assume the new Boxster will be presented at Geneva.  Anyone going?  I will miss press days for the first time in years, but will be going to the New York show for press days in early April.  Guess New York will be the first U.S. showing...


    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    I'll probably go along..

    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    Is it a press- or regular day?


    Re: OFFICIAL : Porsche Boxster 981

    If it's a regular public day then great (unless someone wants to give me a press pass :-)) would be cool to meet up with any of you. We should probably start a separate thread about it.

    Thanks, cool pic pxaxh! I like this one too, I really prefer the design of the front intakes/LEDs of the 981 over the 991, hope we get a review soon!
