The 2012 Porsche Cayman continued the idea from its first generation: to be a mid-engine sports car to be used as a daily driver and a track-day car at the weekends.

Four years after the introduction of the Cayman S, the sportier version of the mid-engine sports coupe Porsche was refreshed. It was even faster and could carry more cornering speed.

In 2005, the Cayman S range entered the market to offer a fast, mid-engine coupe in the Porsche lineup. Strangely, the first version of the stable was the S, while the normal version joined a year later.
