2008 Porsche Cayman Review Pictures & Video
Porsche not only offers their Boxster entry-level sports car, but the Cayman coupe brings a higher level of performance to the table. Coming in regular and S-trim, the 2008 Cayman has the looks, power and performance to please any sports car enthusiast.
The first thing you’ll notice is the power you are controlling. The reason for this power is the six-cylinder engine with Porsche’s VarioCam variable valve timing system. The base trim gets a 245 horsepower 2.7 version that teams with a standard five-speed manual or an optional six-speed manual transmission. The higher level Cayman S gets a 3.4-liter variation that can get up to 295 horsepower and comes standard with the six-speed. Porsche also offers both models the Tiptronic S five-speed automatic transmission that boasts a manual-shift provision. Change your driving preference to either “economy” or “sport” depending on how you drive and road conditions. The middle positioning of the engine allows for a trunk under the hood and under the rear hatch.
The flawless setup and spacious storage come on the distinctive teardrop shaped coupe. Inside the aerodynamic eye candy is an equally appealing inside. Leather upholstery covers the two accommodating sports seats. The steering wheel, gearshift and other surfaces also are doused in leather to provide better grip and a dose of luxury. The functional center console houses controls for the audio system, automatic climate control and more. Above the controls there rests a 5.8-inch color display that shows maps with directions from the Porsche Navigation system. This control gauge also holds the onboard computer, electronic logbook and hands-free mobile phone system controls.
The two-occupants are protected with dual-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags; all of these are standard! Other safety features include antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, Bi-Xenon headlights, an anti-theft system and more!
This mid-level sports car can holds it own on the road and give you the feeling of driving on the racetrack.
