Porsche Cayman S World performance Car of the Year 2006

The Porsche Cayman S was chosen as the 2006 World Performance Car from an initial entry list of twenty-nine (29) candidates nominated by the World Car of the Year jurors. The top three contenders for the World Performance Car in addition to the Porsche Cayman S were the Audi RS4 and the BMW M5.

The Porsche Cayman S impressed the World Car jury with its distinct presence set squarely between the Boxster and 911. The 295-horsepower coupe possesses all of the balance of the Boxster's rear-mid engine placement and all of the body stiffness of a 911 coupe, while its sonorous flat six-cylinder engine delivers a seamless rush of middleweight punch. The Cayman S polishes Porsche's halo with its perfect combination of stellar handling, looks and power. It is truly a world-class performer.

"Positioned between the 911 and the Boxster, the Porsche Cayman S has established its own unique styling and performance identity," related Peter Schwarzenbauer, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America in receiving the award on behalf of Porsche. "Its selection as World Performance Car of the Year for 2006 is an early indicator it will take its place along side these two famed models as yet another benchmark sports car from Porsche."

I must say this car hasn't had as much of an effect as I though it would on me!

When I saw it in Frankfurt it didn't look anything special, unlike the 911, so in my mind, just like the Boxster, it's a car for someone who hasn't got enough money to buy the real deal, the 911!
