The new Porsche Cayman S
Black Edition combines performance and style, with a 3.4-litre flat-six engine
tuned to deliver 330 hp, distinctive 19" alloy wheels finished in black and a
luxurious interior.
Production is limited to 500 examples worldwide, and UK sales begin
in September from £50,420. |  | The extra power is
produced at 7,400 rpm (an additional 200 rpm vs the standard car), while the
maximum torque remains unchanged at 370Nm at 4,750 rpm. This extra horsepower
feeds directly through into the performance of the all-black mid-engined
two-seater.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph is improved by a tenth of a second to
5.1 seconds with the six-speed manual transmission, and to 5.0 seconds
with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) respectively. With the
Launch Control activated on the PDK Sport Chrono package option, acceleration
improves further to 4.8 seconds.
The top speed of the
Cayman S Black Edition is just over one mph faster than that of the Cayman S -
173 mph with the manual transmission and 172 mph with PDK.
The Cayman S Black Edition with manual transmission
returns 29.7mpg Combined, and 30.1mpg Combined with PDK. Likewise, CO2
remains 223g/km for the manual and 221g/km for the PDK.
The Cayman S Black Edition costs from £50,420 and is on sale in the UK from
September 2011.
