2014 Porsche Boxster / Cayman, Best of the best.
There is no first place in 10Best. Officially then, the Porsche Boxster and its newly reworked tin-topped brother, the Cayman, are exactly equal to the other cars on our list. But lean in close now because we’re going to let you in on a secret: The Porsches are the winners among these winners. Unlike several of the other cars here, the Porsches’ place on the list was never in doubt. Over our morning (and midday, and afternoon) doughnuts, we’d debate the relative merits of the Honda Accord and the Mazda 6 and whether the combined forces of BMW’s 3- and 4-series would be able to meet the challenge presented by the Lexus IS350. But there was no discussion of the Boxster and Cayman. They were on everyone’s list, and that was that. We’ve spilled so much ink in praise of these two, that this story could consist of two words: Of course. But in case you’ve missed our fawning, here’s the rundown. The secret to this duo’s success is that they somehow manage to feel so organic, so genuine, in a world full of simulated, electro-distant experiences. That they achieve this while employing the same technologies that make other cars feel synthetic is a type of magic. The Boxster and Cayman’s steering system isn’t of the non-assisted, purist-pleasing variety. It’s not even hydraulically boosted. It is an EPS (electric power steering) system, three letters that strike fear and revulsion into the hearts of most sports-car fans. That uniquely Porsche flat-six timbre is augmented by a facsimile of engine noise piped into the snug little cabin. Optionally available is the pricey sport exhaust system ($2825) that gives you effectively a two-stage volume control—those two stages being quiet and 11. There are available adjustable shocks (PASM, $1790), an automatic-shifting dual-clutch transmission (PDK, $3200), and a launch-control system that relieves the driver from even having to know what a holeshot is. So how is it possible that, with all of this interference by technology, the Boxster and Cayman remain authentic feeling? Don’t know. But when you turn the satin-aluminum-trimmed SportDesign steering wheel ($490), it’s like turning a high-fidelity rheostat of joy. With this level of feel, accuracy, and composure, the steering system could be boosted by flaming cow patties and we’d still park a Boxster or Cayman in our garage. Your intentions zing from steering wheel to suspension to tire almost before you realize you have any such intentions. Yes, the car posts adult levels of grip on the skidpad (right around 1.00 g for both base and S Boxsters), but achieving those figures is child’s play compared with what these cars can do away from the calm of the asphalt lake and out in the scarred, undulating, unpredictable place known as the real world. Nothing is better at staying the course with absolute ease, come what may. These cars never lose their cool, never become perturbed. They simply go about their work with effortless tenacity. Yes, Porsche makes extensive use of its own famed Weissach test track and the equally famed Nürburgring Nordschleife to hone the ride and handling characteristics of its cars, including these two. But then, developing a car at the ’Ring has become commonplace enough that its use alone cannot explain why the Boxster and Cayman have transitional behavior so lively, stable, and natural that their bodies feel like extensions of their drivers’, even as other ’Ring warriors leave us cold. Could it be that the difference here is just a group of the world’s best engineers developing a car with a clear and unwavering focus? You can easily find quicker cars, cars with higher top speeds, and goodness knows you can find less-expensive cars, but you simply cannot find cars any more satisfying to operate than this duo. Oh, and they’re gorgeous, too. |

(6) Porsche Cayman Acknowledged as ‘Best Driver`s Car’ and ‘Best Sports Car’
(Seoul=뉴스와이어) The US car journal Motor Trend has chosen the Porsche Cayman S as the "Best Driver's Car" of the year 2009. At virtually the same time, the Cayman was also picked by British car journal Auto Express as "Best Sports Car" in their New Car Awards 2009. In both cases Porsche's mid-engined coupé convinced the test experts in particular through its driving dynamics, precision, feedback and response.
Featuring PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, the Porsche Double-Clutch Gearbox, the Cayman S proved all its strengths in the tests conducted by Motor Trend both on regular roads and the race track, making its way to the top against nine other thoroughbred sports cars. The test team including the two professional racing drivers Massimiliano "Max" Angelelli and Randy Pobst took their decision on the title at the Laguna Seca Race Track in California, lauding in particular the surgical precision of the car's steering, Porsche's mid-engine sports coupé thus scoring yet a further title in a most demanding contest.
With its circulation of 1.1 million copies and 7.6 million readers, Motor Trend, an internationally renowned magazine, is acknowledged as one of the leading car journals in the USA.
Auto Express, the British car journal, was equally unequivocal in emphasising that the Cayman dominates the sports car scene with unrelenting efficiency. A guarantee for the coveted title "Best Sports Car" was also the ultimate blend of traction, balance, and agility. Apart from the characteristic sound of the boxer engines, the testers also lauded the practical qualities of the Cayman with its two luggage compartments and large tailgate.
Auto Express is the best-selling car journal in Great Britain.
The second generation of the Cayman has been in the market since February of this year. Its newly developed six-cylinder boxer engines guarantee best grades in both fuel economy and performance, 320 horsepower delivered by the 3.4-litre power unit interacting with PDK in the Cayman S ensuring acceleration from 0 -100 km/h with the Sports Chrono Package in just 4.9 seconds, together with fuel consumption of 9.4 ltr/100 km (equal to 30.0 mpg imp). Delivering maximum output of 265 hp, the 2.9-litre power unit in the Cayman, again teaming up with PDK, consumes just 9.1 ltr/100 km (equal to 31.0 mpg imp) for even greater fuel efficiency. And it almost goes without saying that both models fulfil the strict EU5 emission standard in Europe and the ULEV standard in the USA.
Contrary to other competitors in the "Best Driver's Car" competition, the Cayman S also remains below the fuel consumption limit for Gas Guzzler Tax in the USA and is therefore exempted from the special tax imposed on cars with particularly high fuel consumption.
