#CaymanSpyder

Porsche is planning to introduce a hard-core version of the Cayman, inspired by its new Boxster Spyder model. According to information provided from a recent dealer meeting, the new model will be introduced in the Spring of 2011 (possibly at the Geneva Auto Show) with less weight, more horsepower and an overall design inspired by the new light-weight Boxster.

Porsche will introduce a new top-level Carrera model early next year, but first will come the introduction of another limited edition model along the lines of the 911 Sports Classic. Called the 911 Speedster, it will be limited to just 100 models and feature the Carrera 4S widebody but will be rear-wheel drive. It will come with a 408-hp 3.8-liter flat-six, combined with Porsche’s impressive 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. Other highlights will include a limited-slip differential, PCCB brakes and 19-inch wheels. In true Speedster style, it will come exclusively with just two seats and be offered in either blue or white. It won’t be cheap, however, with an MSRP close to $200,000.
