Now that Porsche has officially uncovered the new generation 911 is time to focus on the next two models to be revealed: the Boxster and its Cayman sibling. Its true that lately the Boxster caught most of the attention, but now is time to talk about the Cayman.

Like with the new 911 exterior and interior changes will be minimal, with the biggest changes being made under the hood. As you might know by now the next Boxster will grow in dimensions, and of course the same treatment will also be applied to the Cayman. Thanks to a longer wheelbase the next Cayman will feature longer rear-quarter windows, longer roofline and a roomier interior.

As for the engine, the Cayman will get a new four-cylinder engine, just like the Boxster. The final output hasn’t been revealed just yet, but it should deliver an output similar to the current one: around 265 HP for a standard model and 315 HP for the S version. The engine will be mated to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic.

An official debut is expected for early 2012.
