VIDEO: Is The 2012 Porsche Cayman R THAT Much Better Than The Cayman S?

When God created the Porsche Boxster Spyder, it was largely considered awesome; however, there was a price to pay for that. It wasn't exactly practical. My theory is Porsche wasn't too happy about all the Boxster Spyder bashing.

And that's why they produced the Cayman R, which is essentially the same thing as a Boxster Spyder except it isn't wearing a funny hat.

Now although the Spyder and Cayman R are truly fantastic vehicles, Autocar wanted to know if it is really that much greater than a Cayman S. Keep in mind, the R -- like the Spyder -- is more expensive and has less content.

But if you really want a visceral experience, these are probably the most driver's oriented cars out there.

Could the new Cayman R better the already impressive Cayman S?
