Only 777 PD Edition 1 cars were built... this is #243.  There are a lot of cool features that come with this model.  The 19” wheels from the 911 Turbo and flat black stripes are the most obvious, but there are also some beautiful interior and performance items as well.  The car has a black full leather interior including seats, dash, and door trim.  The steering wheel, gear shift lever, handbrake, and headliner are all covered in beautiful black Alcantara.  The instrument dials are unique to this model and there stainless steel entry plates that are engraved with “Porsche Design Edition 1”.  The PD 1 suspension is 10 mm lower than a standard Cayman S.


Additional Porsche options:

- Power seat package

- Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package

- Heated Front Seats

- Automatic Climate Control

- Bose High End Sound Package


I've installed a B&M Short Shift kit. This was a nice addition... quick, crisp shifts. I'll include the stock shifter if you desire.


I purchased the car in April of 2008.  I am the 2nd owner.  However, the first owner was a Porsche collector and only had the car for a month or two.  The car had 300 miles on it when I received it.


A TPC Racing Stage 2 Turbo Kit was installed when the car had approximately 10,000 miles on it. The turbo makes the car perform like it should have from Porsche.  I have well over $10,000 invested in this upgrade alone. It makes the car very quick, and it sounds quite pleasant as well. This turbo system yields over 450 HP. More info about the TPC turbo can be found here: http://www.tpcracing.com/tpc-racing-stage-2-cayman-turbo.html


The turbo is obviously not a Porsche system.  I make routine inspections of all plumbing and hardware to ensure proper operation.  If you are not comfortable performing maintenance and/or repairs, TPC Racing’s shop is in Jessup, MD and they have authorized shops around the country.


The car has never been on a track or a drag strip.


Aftermarket appearance upgrades that I’ve made:

- 3M clear bra

- all LED (white) interior and cargo space lighting

- replaced orange side markers with white

- changed the hood badge from gold trim to silver trim (matches the theme of the car much better)


The car currently has 16,650 miles on it.  I put a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the car about 2700 miles ago.  They are in excellent condition.


The car is in excellent condition. It has been garaged every night of it's life.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:
