2009 Porsche Cayman Shows Off New PDK Dual-Clutch Gearbox
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 »
