Porsche has incorporated various design disciplines into this
very special mid-engine coupé: the black exterior emphasizes the purist
nature of the 295-bhp sports car and, at the same time, is a nod to Porsche
Design and the famous Chronograph 1s designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche
precisely 35 years previously. This look, cultivated by Porsche Design, imparts
additional luxury and class on the Cayman S: the black leather and Alcantara
upholstery harmonizes with refined details such as the instrument dials,
the layout of which reflects that of all Porsche Design chronographs. Even
the center console, dashboard, and door trims glisten in black, while the
three-spoke sports steering wheel, the gear lever, the handbrake grip, and
the roof lining are clothed in non-slip black Alcantara. The Porsche logo
(crest) is embossed on the headrests. The vehicle's technical features are
equally sophisticated: beneath the ten-millimeter-lower body, standard Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM) actively controls the hardness of the
shock absorbers and it features a special Sport mode that can be activated
at the touch of a button for a really dynamic driving feel. Five-millimeter
spacers together with 19-inch turbo wheels give the Cayman S "Porsche Design
Edition 1" a presence that is reinforced yet further by the 235/35 ZR 19
tires at the front axle and the 265/35 ZR 19 tires at the rear.
The Porsche Design Studio, created by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche
35 years ago, has rapidly become a top international name for industrial
design, luxury items, and consumer goods. Top-class functionality and esthetics
glisten in the new "Porsche Design Edition 1" collection - in black or black
matt, of course. The Cayman S "Porsche Design Edition 1" standard equipment
thus includes an elegant briefcase containing the Flat Six Chronograph, a
pocket knife, a pair of sunglasses, a pen, and a key ring - all in black,
even the knife blade, in keeping with the vehicle's styling. The number of
Cayman S "Porsche Design Edition 1" units is to be as exclusive as this
series-production luxury package: only 777 are being built, and each will
be identifiable from a badge on the lid of the glove box. The market launch
of this black Cayman with exclusive Porsche Design equipment, including
briefcase, will begin in Germany in November 2007 and in the United States
in January 2008.
