2013 Porsche Cayman spy shots

By Brett Davis |

Porsche has been spotted testing 2013 Porsche Cayman in Germany. The car looks almost complete which could mean testing is in its final stages. Here we see the car testing on the public streets and around the Nurburgring.

The next-generation Porsche Cayman will showcase all-new panels, even though they appear to be extremely similar to the existing model’s. Like the Porsche 911, Porsche’s idea of evolution includes subtle revisions without upsetting the original characteristics of the car.

With these slight exterior revisions comes all-new dimensions, inside and out. That means the new Cayman will be larger than the existing model. It will feature a longer wheelbase providing additional interior comfort with more legroom and headroom.

As for the engine packages, the new Cayman is expected to receive only minor revisions to the current 2.9-litre and 3.4-litre flat sixes. These revisions are likely to bring hikes in power, by around 10kW, but more importantly, a reduction in fuel consumption. Fuel economy will be improved thanks to the introduction of stop/start technology on the next model.

Rumours have been circulating that the next-gen Cayman will also come with an optional turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant which could be shared with the next Boxtster. We’ll have to wait for more details to confirm this, however.

The 2013 Porsche Cayman is expected to debut sometime in 2012, alongside the new Porsche Boxster.

    There is hope for me!, currently I’m to tall for the Current Gen Cayman. hopefully the longer wheel base will give me the extra inches i need!.

    Will it have electric steering like the next 911? If so, I’m not interested in the slightest…

    With a 3.4litre mid mounted engine, I would expect it will outperform the 911

    Great Car and great drive.

    Had a Gen 2 on order a long while ago but passed for something else.

    Starting to look a bit dated in its shape.

    Unfortunately not iconic like a 911 but at least they located the engine in the right place.

    I’m always amazed at some of the ignorant posts. People saying they are not interested in electronic steering. Do they know how many cars already have this and that it works great? Trust Porsche, they are not going to ruin what is one of the greatest cars made. They will only make it greater.

    Looks a lot better, more muscular looking and more modern. Current model is almost retro. The glasshouse is noticeably bigger so the interior doesn’t look as claustrophobic. Hope they improve those whimpy side vents …. wouldn’t they need bigger vents if they’re looking at turbo variants anyway ?
