Porsche will be launching a new special edition of it’s Cayman mid-engine coupe in November 2007 called the Porsche Cayman S “Porsche Design Edition 1″. The limited edition Cayman was conceived to be a nod to Porsche Design and the famous Chronograph 1s designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche 35 years ago.
The interior is done up with black leather and Alcantara upholstery while the center console, dashboard and door trims glisten in black. The sports steering wheel, gear lever and handbrake grip are also done up in non-slip black Alcantara. With this limited edition Cayman, it seems that black is once again the new black.
The Cayman Porsche Design Edition 1 is lower by 10mm than it’s siblings, and features standard Porsche Active Suspension Management that actively controls the hardness of the shocks. The 19 inch wheels (taken from the Type 997 Porsche 911 Turbo) with 235/35ZR19 tyres at the front and 265/35/ZR19 at the rear have 5mm spacers to give the Cayman a more intimidating stance.
All 777 lucky owners of this limited edition will also receive a briefcase containing a Flat Six Chronograph, a pocket knife, sunglasses, a pen, and a key wing all done in black – this includes the knife blade. The cars will be numbered on the lid of the glove box.

What does the Cayman suddenly look so nice now?
Now if only Porsche would let the Cayman be all that it can be. I grates on me sometimes that the fabulously talented chassis that is the Cayman doesn’t get the necessary parts and engineering to make it great because Porsche doesn’t want the Cayman to outshine big brother 911.
delicious.
one hot baby!
Stunning – I do love cars in what I would class as ‘batman spec’ black with black on black please
LUSH!
aiksss… will there be edition 2???
imo…. BEST LOOKING PORSCHE EVER!!!! i’m in love…
just reminds me of nfs carbon.
Hmmm…..the design is very “transformers”….i like it!!!
i read that the cayman sales are not that good, a desperate marketing move by applying cosmetic makeup??? comeon porsche! just put the turbo into the cayman, so what if it’s more powerful than 911…doesn’t matter! what a waste
I have no idea where do you get the fact that the Cayman is having a slow sale ab. I just came back from the States and my friend had lease a Carrera 4S just because the 4S is alot cheaper to lease than the Cayman. The demand was too high and they are currently alot of waiting list just to get a hand on one. The same thing happened in the UK. Remember, they only build 10 000 of this per year compared to the 911(27,000). I have to say this is truly one of the best Porsche (in terms of looks and performance) ever built. Love it.
wau…….. the exterior n interior is very nice !!!! i love it!! hope can c this model soon at brunei!!!!!
cayman is always a goog lookin car….and its even better now with 911 turbo rims..they shud combine this porsh with expensive perfume
I still think the car looks boring, but draping it in black all over certainly helped the aesthetics, it’s more striking now!
What a coincidence..
My friend did ask me today on our way up to Mt. Rokko, what car do i like most..I replied, i like almost all..but the ultimate choice for me is Porsche.
Once we arrived at the top, 3 porsches passed us..a white Carrera S, a black 911 and a silver Boxster.Back home, getting my time into Paultan, here’s again the beauty appears on my screen.Is it a sign?
Anyway congratulations to Porsche.This blackish bijou machine is just too awesome…wunderschön und ZU PERFEKT !!
i think this is a second model look so nice after Carrera GT..but 911 is a legend

help urself with a copy of evo magazine 106 pg27
The thing is, the Cayman was very very deliberately and strategically placed in terms of pricing and performance to be between the Boxster and the 911. It doesn’t have too much room to breath. Guys either went for the slightly cheaper Boxster or the slightly more expensive 911 Carrera. The Cayman is the classic example of the middle child.
Everything is so clean and clear it looks like a screenshot from NFS Most Wanted at high res!!!
Very, very beautiful car…am dreaming of owning one tho ;p
Very nice……
Best Porsche….
But the first pic hmmm look like a batmobile.

Dang… this looks so good it hurts!!! Genau… Sehr schoen Auto!
Not much different with all previous one…..
