2012 Porsche Cayman S Black Edition - First Look
Darkness is spreading, and it’s cause for celebration in Stuttgart.

<!-- /Main photo wrapper --><!-- test output end: --><!-- the article, at a glance, downloads, top competitors, from buying guide --><!-- left column -->Porsche has taken the wraps off of the 2012 Porsche Cayman S Black Edition, a downright sinister version of the already potent Cayman S coupe that boosts performance, adds several amenities and will actually save you money in the process.
The Cayman S is the third Porsche to receive the Black Edition treatment this year, and as with the darker editions of its 911 and Boxster S siblings, there’s a lot more to the Cayman S Black Edition than paint. True, it’s only available in one color. The body, wheels, brake calipers, twin exhaust tailpipes and entire interior—save for some aluminum and steel accents—are dark as night. Even the instrument dials have been blacked out.
But there’s plenty of light at the end of the tunnel. The Black Edition comes standard with the Design, Convenience and Infotainment packages that would normally set a Cayman S buyer back a pretty penny. That means your Cayman S Black Edition is equipped with bi-xenon headlights, touch-screen navigation, a Bose surround-sound system and more, all for $67,500 sticker. And we haven’t even discussed performance yet.
An Extra Boost of 10 Horsepower
Porsche gave the 3.4-liter 6-cylinder engine an extra 10 bhp, bringing the Cayman S Black Edition to 330 bhp at 7400 rpm, with 273 lb.-feet of torque. To help cope with that added power, the Black Edition has been fitted with the Boxster Spyder’s 19-inch wheels—the lightest that Porsche offers—wrapped in 235/35ZR-19 rubber at the front and 265/35ZR-19 in the rear. The result is an aggressive stance that makes the Cayman S Black Edition look particularly sinister.
The car comes with either a 6-speed manual or PDK 7-speed double-clutch transmission. Add the optional Sport Chrono Package with PDK and you’ll have launch control with Sport and Sport Plus shift settings. It’s enough to bring the Cayman S Black Edition to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds—two-tenths quicker than a Cayman S, but with identical fuel efficiency (20 city /29 highway mpg, or 19/26 with the manual 6-speed).
Act Fast, Limited Run
The 2012 Porsche Cayman S Black Edition will be limited to a run of 500, and it features Porsche crests embossed into the headrests and a limited-edition badge on the glove compartment. The darkness should spread to North America in July.

By GREG MIGLIORE on 5/12/2011
Porsche's 911 Carrera GTS has proved to be yet another potent weapon for enthusiasts craving power and speed. Now comes a touch of all-weather capability in the form of an all-wheel-drive model packing 408 hp.
Called the Carrera 4 GT3, the pocket rocket pushes out 23 hp more than the Carrera 4S. The upgraded variant employs the familiar 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder, and the PDK transmission is an option for enthusiasts who choose not to row their own gears. Tack on the Sport Chrono package, and top speed rises to 187 mph.
The all-wheel-drive system employs electronically controlled traction management. Like all AWD Porsche 911 models, the Carrera 4 GTS gets wider wheel arches in the rear. There also is a special front apron, black side skirts and 19-inch RS Spyder wheels.
The interior is largely black with Alcantara parts and a three-spoke steering wheel.
The coupe starts at $110,200, and the cabriolet starts at $120,100, not including destination.
PRESS RELEASE
PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4 GTS – NOW WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE
New Flagship Carrera ideal for all-weather performance
ATLANTA – May 12, 2011 – Building on the well-received 911 Carrera GTS with its extra power, visual panache and extensive extras for an attractive price, Porsche today announced the 911 Carrera 4 GTS. As an all-wheel-drive model, and when equipped with the proper tires, the Carrera 4 has proven more than competent for all seasons and all road conditions. The Carrera 4 GTS wraps an aggressive wide body around a long list of performance, comfort and cosmetic enhancements.
A GTS exclusive power upgrade of 23 hp over the 911 Carrera 4S on which it is based enables the 3.8-liter 911 Carrera 4 GTS – available as a coupe and cabriolet – to accelerate from zero to 60 mph 0.1 second faster; a Carrera 4 GTS coupe equipped with the optional seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) and the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus makes the sprint in just 4.0 seconds. Top-track speed is also increased to 187 mph (186 mph w/PDK).
The 911 Carrera 4 GTS features an electronically-controlled Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive system that delivers impressive traction and powerful acceleration in any driving situation. The electromagnetically-controlled multi-plate clutch reacts within fractions of a second and ensures optimum distribution of power between the front and rear axles. A standard mechanical limited-slip differential further improves traction and driving stability around turns and on varying road surfaces.
The 3.8-liter flat-six delivers its 408 hp thanks to a number of internal changes, including a special resonance intake manifold with six vacuum-controlled tuning flaps. Maximum torque is available at 4,200 rpm; 200 rpm earlier compared with the Carrera 4S. The extra power is enhanced by a standard sports exhaust system with four black tailpipes finished with polished, nano-coated inner shells.
Like every all-wheel-drive 911 model, the Carrera 4 GTS features a body with 44-mm wider wheel arches at the rear.
It is also distinguishable by its SportDesign front apron, black side skirts from the 911 GT2 and a black panel between the rear tailpipes. Center-locking 19-inch RS Spyder design wheels, painted in high-gloss black with polished lips are a final visual flourish.
Inside, black is the dominant color, with the standard interior featuring Alcantara® on the center sections of the standard sport seats with their larger side bolsters. Black Alcantara® is also used wherever the driver comes into direct contact with the vehicle – like on the rim of the three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel and on the gear and handbrake levers.
The extra all-weather performance, visual muscle and standard equipment of the 911 Carrera 4 GTS comes at an attractive price. On sale this fall, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe will be available in the US at a base MSRP price of $110,200 while the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet will be priced at $120,100.
