We've been expecting the official release of the Porsche Cayman S Sport, but Porsche takes us by surprise with a simultaneous revealing of the Porsche Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2. With the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster RS 60 Spyder special series now completely sold out, Porsche is following up by swapping trim packages for the two mid-engined sports cars.
Available in dealerships in early September, both Cayman and Boxster special editions finally break the 300 bhp mark with the 3.4-liter flat six producing 8 bhp more for a total of 303 bhp (223 kW) via a new sports exhaust.
The Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 is available in Carrara White, 19-inch SportDesign wheels, side air intakes, the centre console and the dials on the three round instruments are also finished in white plus grey stripes extending lengthwise along the body. Also included is the Porsche Design Edition 2 Chronograph men’s wristwatch from the Dashboard Collection features a white face and was developed especially for this very special Boxster.
The Cayman S Sport will only see 700 units made, as distinguished by the number plaque on the glove box, but will be available in other colors besides the bright orange shown. The Cayman S Sport gets PSM, 10mm lowered suspension, plus alcantara in the interior, Sports Chrono package and of course the RS style graphics.

it used to be exciting to look and drive a porsche but this Porsche Design Edition 2 is boring compare to consumer products by porsche design.
their edition 1 cayman was at least more mystique and interesting to look at.
the Cayman S Sport is a little redundant. isn't the "S" = Sport already?
Hmmmz? Porshce once even tried their hand at Formula 1 in one race....oh yea.....they destroyed the competition the first time out. However unlike Ferarri Porsche felt it was more important to maintain control of their Car Company unlike Enzo who only cared about racing; sold his stock to FIAT long ago. So Porsche bowed out of Formula 1, even though they probably would have had more championships than the Scuderia.
The GT-2 also makes more torque, has the same 0-60 time and has a top speed just 1mph shy of the 599. All that for a car that costs a 1/3rd of the price of a Fiorano. You can't forget how ridiculously mark-up a Fiorano is.
