2012 Porsche Cayman R: The Fastest and The Lightest

I've always been attracted to sports cars. The speed, the luxury, the performance and the class; all things that most drivers dream about having, but only few get to experience. In recent years, Porsche has expanded their options to include this speed and performance to a variety of different models at your Porsche dealer. Philadelphia drivers that yearn for this high quality craftsmanship now have the option of experiencing it not only in a coupe, but in an SUV and a sedan as well.  But just because Porsche has expanded its options to allow more versatility in its buyers, doesn't mean they aren't getting better at what they've always been good at: good old fashioned speed. Introducing the all new 2012 Porsche Cayman R.

The newest Porsche Cayman is the lightest and fastest Cayman to date from the German car manufacturer. In the high-end performance car world, the ideal situation is decreasing a car's weight while at the same time giving it more power. Seems easy enough right? The difficulty comes in providing additional power to an engine without all of the weight that generally accompanies  these additions. Cutting off the excess weight is where a car gets its agility and speed.  And because Porsche is one of the most cutting-edge performance car manufacturers in the world, they are able to continually find ways to raise the bar in power-to-weight ratio dynamics.

The 2012 Porsche Cayman R comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission , but has the option of an all new seven-speed double-clutch transmission with steering wheel paddles.  Of course, the Cayman R is committed to speed so the driver has to reciprocate. The Cayman comes void of an air conditioning system to avoid extra weight (who needs air conditioning anyways?) and also lacks comprehensive adjustable seating as both seats are standard one-piece sports bucket seats. If you're looking for a standard Porsche (if there is such a thing), go to any Philly used Porsche dealer and pick one up.

However,  if you want the most thrilling ride of your life from the most respected sports car manufacturer on the planet, be sure to swing by the best Porsche dealer Philadelphia has to offer for a test drive, because only the most highly respected dealers are going to carry this most highly respected car.
