When Porsche introduced the Cayman in 2006, many wrote it off as a hardtop Boxster or an underpowered 911. However, like Dave Franco, the Cayman has proven itself to be a worthy younger brother.
The Cayman flaunts a more elegant and curvy body than its siblings, with wide rear hips and chrome accents slicing through the taillights. The tight, two-seater cabin creates the perfect studio for experiencing the flat-six symphony of Porsche’s sublime engine mounted just behind the seats.
The Cayman offers the 911’s pedigree in an economical package, rivalling the Corvette Stingray and Jaguar F-Type. Prices start at $52,600.
