Power comes from the same 3.4-liter 6-cylinder engine as in the regular Cayman S, however power has been boosted by 10 hp to a total of 220 at 7,400 rpm while its maximum torque remains at 370 Nm (273 lb.ft.) at 4,750 rpm.
As a result, the car can now spring from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in either 5.1 seconds when equipped with the 6-speed manual or in 5.0 seconds when fitted with the optional PDK. That should be enough for a car with that kind of power, but Porsche say the Black Edition can reach that speed even faster - 4.8 seconds - when the car is fitted with the optional Sport Chrono package and Launch Control is activated. Top speed is rated at a respectable 279 km/h (173 mph) for the manual version and 277 km/h (172 mph) with the PDK.
The model, of which only 500 units will ever be made, features 19-inch black alloys wrapped in tires size 235/35 ZR 19s at the front and 265/35 ZR 19s at the rear, Bi-Xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights and exterior mirrors with integrated rain sensors. The interior received partial leather seats, a Sport Design steering wheel, black trim across the dashboard, gear level and instrument dials, the and Black Edition logo stamped on the entry guards.
As we’ve already mentioned, production is limited to 500 examples, while deliveries are scheduled to begin in July 2011. Prices will start at €67,807 in Germany and at GBP50,420 in the UK.
