Sounds like a very nice car, but although it will probably out-horsepower and perhaps even straightline outrun the Cayman, i very seriously doubt it will be any real competitor to the Cayman on a track.
Mid-engine masterpiece versus frontengine driving machine:
If you were on a track, both cars standard trim and you could have your pick. Your goal: Set the fastest lap you can.
Which would you pick? Without even knowing the Beemer, and admitting to the fact that I havent even driven a Cayman yet - I'll trust the automotive press and cram my a$$ into the Porsche.

Design, BHP and brand preference is a totally different story. That's all a matter of preference.
But performancewise i don't believe BMW has any model that can compare to, let alone beat, its Porsche counterpart.

Those of you who read my trackday report, know that I have a newfound respect for a cars setup and engine layout. A lot more so than BHPs.
Handling is king, and the Cayman seems to be king of handling.
