Porsche Design Edition 1

Marty Howard · **Posted:** Thu Aug 16, 2007 10:47 am

The Porsche Cayman S "Porsche Design Edition 1" arrives in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's original Porsche Design chronograph. Porsche Design, as you know, is perhaps best known for its consumer products and their simple, upscale design aesthetic. With this 777-car limited edition, Porsche has worked to incorporate the Porsche Design look into a Cayman S. The gauge cluster takes on the appearance of a Porsche Design chrono, and the entire car is finished in black inside and out.

The body is lowered 10mm and the exterior is further set off by the 19" 911 Turbo wheels and matte black accent striping on the doors, hood, roof, and rear deck. Black Alcantara and a special plaque on the instrument panel help trim out the passenger cabin. Each car also comes with a briefcase packed with Porsche Design goods including a chronograph, pen, sunglasses, knife, and keyring. Like the car, these personal items are finished in all black. Porsche Design Edition 1 sales kick off in Germany this November, with US sales following in January of 2008.

When you get your Pour-sha, you'll figure out that HP takes a back seat to the "Holy Sh*****t!!!" handling of one of these babies.
('Course, I wouldn't know anything about that, since it's Sharon's car...)

Michael - Very nice work and very fitting :lol:

Steve - We collecting garage art or something? You already know you have a car sitting in the garage that is the answer to "Subsitute"? Then again I may be slightly biased :wink:

Naw keep the Z06, these guys will never let you live it down anyway. Besides I found a cure. I bought the Toyota and immediately grew 2" back. I'm thinking of buying a few more just to see if it continues. My yard will look like Ryan's :wink:

Forget that "pretty pooch". All show and no go... Let's sell the Vettes and go in on that Aston Martin DBS!!!

The car's handling in stock form isn't all that damned great, IMHO. It has fairly serious bump steer issues in the rear. It also goes to positive camber if you lift an inside rear. With no LSD it likes to spin said inside rear and grind off your outside shoulder.

Now, if you fix all those issues with some GT3 Cup car suspension bits and go ahead and fix the horsepower "problem" by dropping in a 400HP X51 motor, and do some aesthetics while you're at it, well, *now* you are on to something. :twisted:
