It was only several months ago that Agent001 noted that there was a document leak through dealers that unveiled Porsche's plans for the upcoming 12 months. Included in this "leak" was information pertaining to a variety of products. With automotive publications questioning what mid-engined sports car will debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, we've got your answer here.
Looking at 001's information, you can see that the limited-edition 911 Speedster, GT2 RS, Carrera GTS and a "Cayman Spyder type car" are mentioned.
Internally known as the "Cayman R," the Spies are expecting a Cayman that is inspired by the Boxster Spyder to make its way to ELL-AY.
Considering Agent00R recently got a crack at the Boxster Spyder, he's happy to let you know that you should expect some carbon-fiber GT3-like seats, a lighter vehicle overall, door pulls instead of handles and Alcantara all around.
Oh yeah, the car drives phenomenal. Being 6'8, I managed to squeeze into the Boxster Spyder and the feedback was awesome -- the Spyder makes any driver feel like a rock star since it is incredibly easy to drive.
Granted, I looked like a clown all jumbled up in the Boxster Spyder. See our cover shot for more on that.
