IF it would have had 350BHp I would have.

But it has less then the outgoing Spyder and 15Bhp down on the Cayman R.

So no.

it's lighter than a full fat Boxster but not as light as a spyder.

It's also bigger which is a shame, and the centre console is pants.

I had a quick chat with an OPC today.

They're expecting the first build slots around April; and the demo cars then too.

They wanted a £2k deposit.

But, (After a quick look) I don't see PSE or Bucket Seats on the options which is a shame.

torque is down to 360NM from 370NM, but max torque now goes from 4,500 to 5,800 rpm.

Paid the £3K returnable deposit for the S. Waiting for the sports exhaust option to appear before I spec the car.
