The LA Auto Show has birthed it's latest automotive revelation in the form of the 2009 Porsche Cayman. The Cayman, as we saw a bit earlier, gets upgrades to both the entry 2.9 liter engine and the Cayman S 3.4 liter mill, a new twin-clutch transmission able to work power conversion magic and maybe most importantly, an optional limited slip differential has been added, addressing one of the most common complaints of the original Cayman. The new LSD will further improve performance on the back roads and the tracks. We suspect this news will set the less skilled 911 owners shaking in their boots. Complete details, restrained potential, and further images below. More »

Nobody at Porsche AG would ever admit it, but we suspect the newly upgraded 2009 Porsche Cayman has even more potential than the flagship Porsche 911. The new Cayman is set to make its public debut later today at the LA Auto Show and though it doesn't look much different, the car is boasting a new optional dual-clutch transmission that's sure to liven things up and provide improved efficiency. The car gets more power at 265 HP from the bigger 2.9 liter boxer and 320 HP in the 3.4 liter flat six in the Cayman S, which now trots to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds from a cold start. Here's the shocker in this whole equation - the added efficiency from that dual-clutch transmission allows the new Cayman to return 25.8 MPG in the 2.9 liter and 25 MPG in the 3.4 liter. As with the 2009 Porsche Boxster, the new Cayman should also sport a limited slip differential. What's that? A reveal video with driving footage and sweet, sweet engine sounds awaits below with the complete details? That's right. More »

Despite the ubiquity of semi-disguised Porsche Panameras making a secret publicity tour of the United States, we haven’t seen much of the 2010 Porsche Cayman since we exclusively unveiled it back in July. Now, an eagle-eyed Cayman Club forum member has spotted a trifecta of the updated sports cars winging their way into LAX. We’re sure it’s not a coincidence that they arrived just two weeks before the LA Auto Show. More »

The first photo we've seen of the upcoming 2010 Porsche Cayman S Sport has already made its way to the web, we're assuming from the pages of some Euro buff book by way of a fan-forum and an enthusiast's scanner. Details are still sketchy, but word has it the uprated Cayman will have eight extra horsepower, raising the total to 303, and feature the Porsche Active Stability Management system along with a suspension that sits about four tenths of an inch lower. The orange-and-black paint scheme in the pictured car appears vaguely reminiscent of the 911 GT3 RS, but we'll have to wait and see if that's the sole color offered or whether Porsche gives us additional hues from which to choose.
