    Cayman S 2009

    I've just put in a order for a Cayman S 2009 model.
    Delivery date will be February 2009.
    I will do the spec for the new car in about 3 weeks time.
    That's when my dealer expects to have the spec sheets for the 2009 model.
    2009 will have slight exterior upgrade, engine upgrade and transmission upgrade.
    will post more info once I see the spec sheets.

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Cayman S with 315-320 PS and PDK, that will be a very good deal! make sure that DI and PDK will be available from the beginning of MY09.

    And don't forget the LSD option too

    I'm hopeful all will be available - I plan to do a comprehensive spec on this baby. I'm very keen to find out specifically about the PDK! And what exactly the engine upgrade will be.

    Almost certainly Direct Injection 3.4lt.
    Power = FL Carrera 3.6 (345HP) minus 30HP = 315HP

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Congratulations mlin! Why didn't you go for the 911? I mean Cayman S is a really good car, but a 911 is has always been better...

    Here we go

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Second generation of the Cayman S, with PDK + LSD, and 310bhp should be an insane car, it must be in the performance level of a 997 carrera without a doubt !

    Hi Georgie997S
    This thread is about my Cayman S order and the potential spec of the new model. I'd be most disappointed for it to descend into another subjective Cayman vs 911 debate.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    And belated birthday wishes to you dreamcar

    Make sure you're not a victim of dealer BS - my info (from a Porsche GB owned dealership yesterday) is that the DI 987 range isn't starting production until next spring

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Hiya dreamcar. To be honest my dealer hasn't promised any specifics about the new model yet. Nothing is certain at this point, I'm just being positive...
    If all the new upgrades aren't on the first release I'll delay my order for sure.

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    My dealer revealed a 'Cayman Sport' is now available for order.
    Its basically a limited edition Cayman in 997 GT3 RS colours.
    Green with black wheels etc
    Lowered suspension, sport exhaust, chrono plus package, alcantra etc all standard.
    I saw the pics on his computer.
    The UAE have only been allocated 15 units.

    Anyone else heard about this special edition Cayman?

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    And another Porsche Design Edition 2

    Around 100 units

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    No tangible performance increase?

    No tangible performance increase.
    I think it will be a rather tasty looking model, but with no engine upgrade its ultimately a joke.

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    So several sources seem to be converging on March 2009 for the official announcement of the new 987s...presumably dealers will still be able to order builds for post-announcement delivery from sometime after January or so?

    Are those who planned to order for pre-March delivery going to delay or push for a discount on the last of the pre-FL cars?

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    For me the question is whether the LSD and PASM Sport are carried over. If so, its FL all the way, otherwise, I'll go for a very high spec used one - residuals are appalling here in the UK at the moment

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    PASM Sport?

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Sorry, I should have said carried across from the FL 997

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    I changed my Cayman S 2009 order.

    I've just ordered a Cayman S Sport from my dealer.
    September build, November delivery.

    Standard Specs:

    3.4 l engine 305 bhp (+10 bhp)
    6 speed manual transmission
    Sport exhaust system
    Tailpipe black from Cayman S II
    GT3 RS Green
    Grills of front and side air intakes, exterior mirrors Black
    side strips with model designation.
    Model designation on rear lid Black
    Windscreen with grey top tint.
    Sport seats, seat centres in Alcantra.
    Sports steering wheel in Alcantra (GT3)
    Deleted shroud of instrument panel.
    Black instrument dials with model designation.
    Rooflining in Alcantra Black.
    Gear lever, handbrake in Alcantra.
    Special edition plate on glove box.
    Door entry sills in stainless steel with model logo.
    Foot rest in sport look.
    Floor mats with model logo.
    PASM, - 20 mm reduction in ride height.
    19 inch SportDesign wheels in Black.
    5mm spacers.
    Sport Chrono Plus.
    Aero Kit.

    I've added:

    PCCB brakes.
    xenon lights.

    Cheers

    P.S. 15 units in UAE, 50 units in Uk are the numbers I've heard.

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    so your limited/special/super different edition seems to confirm the upcoming FL is due on spring 09 or also later in the year

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    Congrats!!

    The price should be close to GT3, right ?

    Cayman S Sport (as per above spec) - 240 000 dhs ($65 000).

    GT3 - 420 000 dhs ($115 000).

    More like half the price...

    At this moment in time - no LSD.

    Re: Cayman S 2009

    sure congrats for your unique car!

    Btw why release a LE Cayman in Fall more or less at the same time of the supposed new FL announcement?

    To sell more cars! LE cars are usually released at the end of an existing model run so they can continue to generate interest in the 'old' model.
