Папярэдні Кайманавы была асаблівай даволі, мы ведаем, што, але гэта зусім незвычайнае. Чаму? На мінулым тыдні я быў у Сильверстоуне, размаўляў з нейкім лаяльных чытачоў, якія спрабуюць растлумачыць ім, чаму новае Porsche Cayman S that Id been so completely blown away by just a couple of days previously, is as fantastic as it is. They wanted to know how and why, basically, it could be so much better than the previous model, which was in itself more than a little bit tasty. So I thought about it for a while and then replied; Two reasons mainly. One, Porsche claims its 40 per cent stiffer than before, and thats phenomenal. Two, at the same time its 30kg lighter. And actually there are three reasons, the third being the PDK gearbox that was fitted to the car I drove, which is 110 per cent incredible in what it does. One of them, an engineer by trade, had actually driven a previous-generation Cayman not long before, and he simply couldnt believe that the new car could be 40 per cent stiffer than the old. But the thing is, Porsche doesnt just make this stuff up. Were the latest Caymans shell to be a mere 39. 4962 per cent stiffer than of old, then thats precisely what it would claim. Porsche, верагодна, больш, чым любы іншы вытворца аўтамабіляў, што я магу думаць цяпер, гуляе з ім, што прамей, чым зморшчыны Gieves і Hawkes кашулю, свежым пасля peg. Але ў той жа час увага да дэталяў, гэта плаціць, каб тое, што адбываецца пад скурай, ад загалоўкаў, але дзе ен, як правіла, нясуць найбольшую значнасць, не мае аналагаў у маім досведзе. Таму Паршэ, як правіла, быць на галаву вышэй за астатніх, калі справа даходзіць да Рэчаў, Якія Найбольш важныя. І ў новым выпадку Кайманаў яны, Паршэ дызайнераў, таксама ёсць расколіны на стайлінг бок справы таксама. І гэта яшчэ адна прычына, падсвядома ці інакш, новы аўтамабіль здаецца нашмат лепш старога – таму што ён проста выглядае пышна; падобна. І гэта не тое, што шмат людзей кажа пра свайго папярэдніка. Ўкладанне 5475 In summary then, the reasons why the new Cayman is such an astonishingly good car are; it is eye-wateringly good to drive, it is heart-thumpingly good to look at, it is technically in another stratosphere compared with most other cars at the same price level, and yet its also quicker than before but burns less fuel than its already excellent predecessor. I feel sorry for Jaguar, though, because unless the new F-Type is two-times-off-the-dial good to drive, it doesnt stand a chance against a car as well resolved, or as downright brilliant, as the latest Cayman. And thats before you even mention that it costs 10 grand more in the first place, even in entry-level form. I hope desperately that Im proved wrong when we come to compare them in a few weeks time. Right now, however, it is genuinely hard to see that being the case.
