Re: Porsche Cayman R
The Cayman R is a special edition which features performance improvements over the Cayman S model.
It is 55 kg (121 lb) lighter, sits 20 mm lower and comes with 10 PS (7 kW / 10 bhp) more than the Cayman S.
The Cayman R's 3.4 liter six-cylinder power plant has an output of 330 hp (243 kW) and a curb weight of just 1,295 kgs (2855 lbs). Those new features are good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 5.0 seconds with the standard 6-speed manual gearbox. The optional 7-speed PDK (dual-clutch) shaves 0.1 seconds off that time. Fitted with the Sport Chrono packages, the Cayman R gets that number further down to 4.7 seconds.

Re: Porsche Cayman R
911, Cayman and Boxter are all near the end of the present model cycle. So Porsche will continue to churn out more variations, such as Cayman R and Carrera GTS, to milk more revenue. I would rather wait to see the next brand new models. Heard they will be all very different from current ones due to influence from VW top management.

Re: Porsche Cayman R
VW now owns Porsche, which will have to share a new baby sport car chasis with Audi and VW. To make space for the baby Porsche, new Boxter, Cayman and 911 will all be enlarged. I think it can be risky for Porsche. New 911 may have more useable rear seats, but hopefully without any expense of driving dynamics.
