A new limited edition Cayman will be up for grabs starting July 2011. It will be called the Cayman S Black Edition and only 500 units will reach the marketplace. With country-specific equipment, the Cayman S Black Edition costs INR 75,45,000 ex-showroom New Delhi excluding local taxes and duties.
On the inside the driver and front seat passenger sit on black partial leather seats with Porsche crest on the headrests. Special attention has been paid to adhere to a consistent colour scheme: the dashboard trim is black as are the gear lever (selector trim) and the instrument dials in the instrument cluster. The door entry guards emblazoned with the lettering “Black Edition” are made of stainless steel; the glove compartment lid bears the badge proclaiming the limited edition status. Equipped with Sound Package Plus, the Cayman S Black Edition’s infotainment systems are controlled via Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
This special edition is powered by a 3.4 litre six-cylinder boxer engine with power output increased by 10 hp to 330 hp (243 kW) at 7,400 rpm. The acceleration times from nought to 100 km/h (62 mph) are improved by a tenth of a second to 5.1 seconds with the six-gear manual transmission and to 5.0 seconds with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) respectively. The timing changes to 4.8 seconds if Launch Control is activated on the Sport Chrono package which is available as an option. The Cayman S Black Edition’s top speed is two kilometres per hour (1.24 mph) faster than that of the Cayman S – 279 km/h (173 mph) with the manual transmission and 277 km/h (172 mph) with the PDK respectively.
It has the Cayman S Black Edition Boxster Spyder wheels in black, which have a diameter of 19 inches making them one inch bigger than the standard Cayman S wheels and half an inch wider than the optional 19 inch wheels on the Cayman S. The tyre sizes fitted are 235/35 ZR 19s on the front axle and 265/35 ZR 19s on the rear axle.
