the Next Porsche Cayman

Porsche announced the next Cayman (the 981) at the LA Auto Show, available in spring of 2013. This is what it looks like:

 

“Lighter, bigger, more powerful, faster” That’s what Porsche says, and I have no reason to argue–it looks different, but familiar enough to be the next generation Cayman. And I’m sure it’s got all the latest wizbang gizmos to back up the 4.4 seconds to 60mph spring time.  Woohoo.

Just for a lark, I grafted the rear quarter panel of the new 991 (“911” Carrera) on to the photo above to see how it looks compared to the traditional and iconic Porsche.

Weird, eh?
