As we have announced previously, Porsche will release a new model called the Porsche Cayman S to fill the segment between the Boxster S and the 911 Carrera. It will fill that segment in both performance and price. The Cayman S will be based on the Boxster platform. It will use a 3.4L 6 cylinder boxer engine which produces 295 bhp. Like the Boxster S, the Cayman S will have a mid-engine layout, with the engine just fore of the rear axles.

In terms of looks, it will be essentially a coupe version of the Boxster S. This means it will be even more rigid than the Boxster, thanks to a solid roof. It could even weigh less than the Boxster, since it won't need the extra support to compensate for the lack of a roof.

This should be a very fun and practical car for those who can afford it. Given the price of the Boxster S at $53,200 and the base 911 Carrera at $69,300, a good guess would be a price of approx. $60,000 for the Porsche Cayman S.
