Autocar - First for car news and reviews

This picture of the new, limited edition Cayman S Sport has been leaked onto the internet - after Porsche released a press advertisement for the car early.

Although official details of the Cayman S Sport have yet to be confirmed, we can tell you that this more powerful version of Porsche’s highly-acclaimed coupe will go on sale next month, wearing a pricetag of £49,890.

If there's a Sport, will there be a Club Sport to follow?

Followed by a Cayman RennSport, which will be quicker and lighter than the forthcoming GT3 Cayman, all of which will be trounced by the Cayman GT2 which will be RWD with 2 turbos and no TC or ESP, will cost £80k and will leave prospective 911 buyers standing in Porsche showrooms with a collective "?" hanging above their heads. After three weeks of deliberating, they'll venture to the nearest Jaguar dealer and get an XKR.

So if I've got this correct, Porsche are going to charge an extra 6000 pounds in the current economic climate for:

I wonder why Porsche sales are down some 20% in this country...

Plus isn't there a revised cayman coming out for 2009 anyway?

This is a bit cynical, rather like the RS 60 "special edition" Boxster - anyone seen one of those on the road? Thought not! As a Boxster S owner I still am surprised about Cayman pricing anyway. Name one other manufacturer who charges MORE for the coupe version of their drop-top.

They're both still fabulous cars though.
