evo Car of the Year 2011 – Porsche Cayman R

Chris Harris Reviews the evo Cars of the Year

[FalkenTube]

chris is so honest.
the cayman would be the best car they make if they gave it power. ferrari would never deny a chassis the power it needed to be great.

[aethrus]

I would say that the high-output engines could get some heat issues when installed in this kind of mid-engine scenario

[THEBODYPRACTICE]

@superjuca55 Agreed, and this is also why boxster and caymen owners are seeking out specialists (like TCP racing) modifiying turbo chargers for these cars.

[lzhmax]

You just drove my every dream car in 1 day

[shahulhusman]

Think tpc dropped a gts 3.8 dfi into a Boxster spyder recently

[blacksukhoi]

@superjuca55 agreed. but Porsche's 'stubbornness' will make sure that 911 will always be on top of the line even though the Cayman do have a very good chassis. and that's make Porsche my dream cars.

[dynoroad]

I'm not entirely convinced that Porsches 911 heavy rear bias is bad, because in fact a Formula 1 car has even more rear bias. I just watched a video about the gt2 rs cornering, it was very interesting.

[superjuca]

@powderhund14 Eh, it would need bit more power to take on the 458, I guess.

[powderhund]

@superjuca55 dare i say including ferraris???

[DumpValvesAndDnB]

Every Video review i see of this car the turn-in looks AWESOME. look at the start of the vid to see what i mean. and finally they have one that isn't vomit green.

Awesome!.

I want a Boxster Spyder with a usable top and a 911 Turbo S engine in it, that would be godlike.

[Paul]

i wish i was rich so that i could pay someone to put the 4.0 GT3 RS engine in the Cayman.

[Porsche]

the anwser to all your questions is the gt2 rs...

[Dfrogman]

Someone should do an engine swap. But i bet that would takes massive amounts of labor to do . . .

[Goproflying]

Am I going deaf or did he say "same as a Vanquish S, same car, little less weight, bit more power"? WTF am I missing?

[superjuca]

If Porsche put the GT3 RS 4.0's engine on this one... it would eat everything on the road this day... including other Porsches...

[theworldsyourlobster]

I love my 987.2 3.4 boxster same engine same gear box your 95% of this cars and in the U.K. you can pick a gen 2 3.4 boxster up for 15k now bargain .... to get the cayman r it’s still over twice the price making the 987.2 3.4 a total bargain or even a cayman s the 3.4 dfi engine is a hoot ... grab yourself a affordable weekend fun bargain....

I would love to throw chris Harris my keys then film him drifting the back end out, this boy knows his stuff and how to drive ....

[DoubleSixx]

If my engine ever lets go I'll drop a Mezger in....

[JoakimPorscheCaymanS]

Almost as good as the first gen 1 of Cayman S. Still OK as stripped down in many
