Thread: Zakaj, točno, je nov Porsche Cayman je presenetljivo avto?

Prejšnje Kajmanski je precej posebno, vemo, da, ampak tole je naravnost izjemna. zakaj? Prejšnji teden sem bil na dirkališču Silverstone, v pogovoru z nekaj zvesti bralci, poskusu jim razložite zakaj nov Porsche Cayman S ki Id bili tako popolnoma otpuhan z le nekaj dni prej, je fantastično, kot je. Bi želeli vedeti, kako in zakaj, v bistvu, bi lahko tako veliko bolje kot prejšnji model, ki je samo po sebi več kot malo okusno.
Tako sem razmišljal o tem za nekaj časa in nato odgovoril; Dveh razlogov predvsem. Ena, Porsche trdi svoje 40 odstotkov hujša kot prej, in to je ogromno. Dva, na isti čas svoje 30kg lažji. In dejansko obstajajo trije razlogi, tretji pa PDK menjalnik, ki je bil opremljen za avto sem odpeljal, ki je 110 odstotkov neverjetno v kakšen to does.
Eden od njih, inženir po poklicu, je dejansko vozi prejšnje generacije Kajmanski ne dolgo pred, in preprosto ni mogel verjeti, da bi nov avto lahko 40 odstotkov od stare. Ampak stvar je, Porsche ne le, da te stvari. Najnovejše Caymanske otoke lupine bi se zgolj 39. 4962 odstotkov hujša od starih, potem to je natančno tisto, kar bi zahtevek.
Porsche, verjetno bolj kot katera koli druga proizvajalec avtomobilov lahko mislim danes, igra z bat, ki se straighter kot gube na Gieves in Hawkes srajco, sveže off na klin. Še ob istem času pozornost do detajlov, se splača kaj se dogaja pod kožo, od naslovnice, vendar če se nagiba, da nosijo največji pomen, je neprimerljivo v mojih izkušnjah. Zato se Porsches ponavadi nad glavo in ramenih ostalo ko gre, da se stvari da zadevo najbolj.
In v primeru novih Caymanske otoke so oblikovalci Porsches, tudi zgodi, da so razpokan to na strani styling stvari, preveč. Ki je še en razlog, zakaj, ne zavedamo ali drugače, novi avto se zdi, da občutek toliko boljši od stare-ker samo izgleda super; izgleda v redu. In to ni nekaj, kar mnogi ljudje povedali svojega predhodnika.

Skratka, razlogov, zakaj novi Cayman je tako presenetljivo dober avto tako; Je oko-wateringly dobro voziti, je srce-thumpingly dobro pogledati, je tehnično kulturo v drugo stratosferi, v primerjavi z večino drugih avtomobilov na isti ravni, cene v še svoje hitreje kozarka, tudi kot .prej datoteko opeklin goriva Tim ampak kot predhodnikom odlično ki...
Žal za Počutim Jaguar, čeprav, ker razen nove vrste F je dva-krat-off-the-dial dobro voziti, ne stojijo proti priložnost avto rešiti kozarka, tudi kot, ali preprosto briljantno, kot Kajmanski zadnji. Da je, preden omenil kozarka, tudi, da si stane več 10 grand na prvem mestu, kozarka, tudi v obliki vstop-razina.
Upam da obupno Im izkazali narobe, ko pridemo do primerjati v nekaj časa in tednov. Zdaj, vendar je resnično težko nalogo, da se je primera.

The previous Cayman was pretty special, we know that, but this one is downright extraordinary. Why? Last week I was up at Silverstone, talking to some loyal readers, attempting to explain to them why the new 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, probably more than any other car manufacturer I can think of nowadays, plays with a bat that is straighter than the creases on a Gieves and Hawkes shirt, fresh off the peg. Yet at the same time the attention to detail it pays to what goes on beneath the skin, away from the headlines but where it tends to bear the greatest significance, is unparalleled in my experience. Which is why Porsches tend to be head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to the Things That Matter Most.
And in the new Caymans case they, Porsches designers, also happen to have cracked it on the styling side of things, too. Which is another reason why, subliminally or otherwise, the new car seems to feel so much better than the old – because it just looks great; looks right. And thats not something many folks said about its predecessor.

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.
