A couple days ago Porsche released a press statement saying that it will unveil a new “mid-engine sports car” at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, it’s 2011 Porsche Cayman R. The Porsche alphabet reserves the letter R for very special sports cars: R for responsive and refined – but most especially for racy. The new Cayman R combines all these attributes without compromise. 2011 Porsche Sport Cars Cayman R has further developed the car by reducing weight, increasing horsepower and raising agility and handling to new heights.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxh3OZ1CrZWiZtU7c2SIfPLdY7JmACS9MJF4mxlu5VPijEgZwa6_lhoAa_R_8CIxukKQDBIiR4m0o2z5hyphenhyphenSlnvPM4TwJnlQM1-HXsnVlptitF4-MvPt9gSWgTAls_yuADrN1S_Ru8j94/s400/2011-Porsche-Sport-Cars-Cayman-R-6.jpg)
Weighing 55 kg less than the equivalent Cayman S, and the new mid-engine coupé from Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

The 2011 Porsche Sport Cars Cayman R makes its world debut today at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
