    Hahahahaha, that's just too funny
    Can't say I have seen that option in the Tequipment catalog, must be an Exclusive option

    And how does that work with the central exhaust and all....

    Ahm, what is wrong with it?
    Did you ever see a ferrari pull a caravan? It just shows us the versatility of our beloved cars... and the bravery of some of their owners.

    Re: What the f#*k!!!!

    Truth is that I don't quite imagine how he does that..... I mean why not build a sporting caravan or something like that? Where goes all the fun towing a caravan in a Cayman? I mean OK, with a Cayenne, but a Cayman?

    It's funny in a way, but totally stupid!!!

    Re: What the f#*k!!!!

    I think it is a fake picture.
    The back of the car looks to be a merge of different shapes and the shadow of the door mirror doesn't match the shape of the mirror itself (shadow looks more like a towing mirror).
    The same picture appeared in Autocar last week.

    Except there are the minor matters of the Cayman's exhaust system and engine in the way. I am convinced that it is a hoax.

    The pic is obviously a fake.

    If it were real you'd be able to see the yellow Netherlands license plate!

    Well, I'm glad you can take a joke , but I'd just been on some stretches of 2-lane Autobahn where those caravans really can be a PITA.

    Re: What the f#*k!!!!

    I still believe that this photograph is a fake but I was surpised to read an article on Renntech describing how to build a tow hitch for a Boxster, which would be equally applicable to a Cayman.

    for sure, if the picture was real the suspension in the rear would be compressed, and the back and the front appear even....

    haha, yes that is for sure... I hate caravans though, and I think you'll never catch me towing one! I just meant to focus the attention to the positive part

    Not completely true imo... you can balance the thing in a way that it does put very little weight on the car. AND, the car might have very stiff suspension!
