Yuk...I own an Atlas Grey Cayman (which I love) but this is 'orrible! I certainly wouldn't part with £44k for a car with some weird options. I wonder who specced it - seems a little unconventional for the OPC to have done it?!

Regardless of anything else, this is a 2.7 non-S model? For £44k? No, I wouldn't - there are decent used S models around for that price and lower.

It looks better than Nottinghams Cayman demo which they were told to spec with orange bits. That car truly is horrible.

I agree. Just what a Cayman CS should look like.

Err... No. The green trim is arwful and it isn't an S.



Although it isn't the worst spec / combination Porsche I've seen. Paragon have had some real beauts over the years.

Looks like some kind of deranged mint-humbug.



When are we likely to see the Cayman CS......or RS? scratchchin

Awful. Why is it that all of a sudden Caymans and 911 Carreras are getting specced up in combinations that only a GT3 RS can pull off?

Ive seen it in the flesh and it looks terrible, they have had it a while so I presume it was a demo for the special order options they are doing.

I suppose it's all a matter of taste - that Gemballa stuff that's on the back cover of all the mags obviously appeals to some - maybe this is Porsche trying to get some of that market.



I know from acquaintances in the trade that demo models are often imposed on the dealers and then they have to try to shift them, no matter what the spec.



This is also a shameless exploitation of the GT3 RS colours, so for 44k I suppose you could say it's a bargain!

Looks hideous! I'm surprised the OPC has changed it all back.
