German tuner XTR Carchip Tuning has unveiled this 2006 Porsche Cayman "987" S with a wide body kit and a couple of engine modifications. The body has a front spoiler with carbon splitter, side skirts, carbon fibre mirrors, rear side panels and detachable GRP fenders. The Pirelli tyres are wrapped around 3-piece 18-inch BBS RS wheels with central locking. The suspension was upgraded and a new Super Sprint "Magnum" exhaust system.
The interior features a new carbon fibre dashboard, 6-point seatbelts for the Recaro GT3 seats, a safety roll cage, air conditioning and the original factory audio system.
Power increased from 217kW (295hp) to 228kW (310hp) though some slight engine chip tuning. While this is quite a modest gain, XTR has given assurances that come spring 2010 a prescription that includes twin turbos will lead to a push of about 625kW (850hp).
Despite its looks, the Cayman is intended for the street with some hobby track racing on the side.

TECHART reveals new Porsche Boxster/Cayman
TechArt tuner has released a new package for both the Porsche Boxster and the Porsche Cayman facelifts. Amongst the upgrades are a pair of TÜV certified aerokits incorporating LED daytime runners, as well as carbon fiber interior touches, and sport springs.
For the exterior, the aerokits includes a front spoiler, body colored spoiler lip, side sills, and freshened up rear end. TechArt optimized the aerokits in a wind tunnel, making them as aerodynamic as they could. Developments from the testing helped to increase the downforce at multiple points on the car, including at the back where a rigid rear spoiler and apron help keep the car on the road at high speeds.
A set of either 19 or 20 inch aluminum wheels is fitted to the car and this help to keep the brakes visible. Besides that a set of sport springs is fitted to the car as well. On either vehicle, the chassis can be dropped by up to 30 mm, depending on the customers' demands. Automatically adjusting daytime lights also dim when a turn signal is switched on.
Back into the cockpit, TechArt uses one of a pair of carbon interiors in tandem with aluminum pedals, three-spoke steering wheel, and lit entry sills. The company also offers a wide variety of customized interiors that use any number of leather materials, colors, and seams.
