The Porsche Cayman seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show is
essentially a hard top Porsche
Boxster.
However Porsche does not push this feature, and clearly
separates the Boxster and Cayman with both price and performance.
The Cayman can not be compared too closely with the 911
either as the new car is mid-engined, lacks any rear seats
and is smaller in proportion.
The Cayman's overall appearance is not as resolved as
other Porsche models, although the 911 has of course had
time to mature gracefully.
The Cayman's somewhat awkward rear end design may have
a direct relationship with the fact Porsche wants to target
the Cayman at a more masculine audience, strong distinct
rear arches can only help, a mini 911 clone would be too
boring.
Although the Porsche Cayman is a production destined concept
and does not display any extreme or unusual features it
is an important concept due to Porsches small line up.
Another hard top concept seen at the Frankfurt Auto Show
which was inspired by a soft top model is the BMW
Z4 Coupe.
