Engine
The 2015 Cayman GTS comes with a 3.4 liter, flat 6 cylinder engine with capabilities of 340 horsepower and is mated to a 6 speed manual transmission .
It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph.
Exterior
The Cayman GTS has a look that resembles the “911”, but at half the cost.
Up front, it sports a new bumper and LED running lights. Underneath the HID headlamps are dual finned air intakes. Both the intakes and front grille, that is now more of a rectangular shape, are painted dark gray.
In the rear, there is an air diffuser and twin exhausts also in dark gray. Between the taillights there is yet another dark gray accent strip. The color shows up several times in other areas of the vehicle with the intention of portraying a muscular presence.
The low profile is nicely accentuated by a set of distinctive 20 inch wheels.
Interior
Alcantara, not leather, is the preferred interior covering. The material is on the seats, arm rests, center console, dash and steering wheel.
The center console itself is impressive containing most of the controls and topped off with an infotainment screen. The new red tachometer in the center of the instrument cluster is a real eye catcher.
Competition is expected to come from the likes of “less expensive” vehicles such as the BMW M235i Coupe and Nissan 370Z Nismo.
