Scoop: 2009 Porsche Cayman Facelift Spied Without Camouflage

2009 Porsche Cayman Facelift Following on from the revamped 911 that was unveiled earlier this year, Porsche is now readying the facelifted variants of the Cayman coupe and Boxster roadster. Both models are due to make their first public appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. However, our spy photographers managed to scoop a virtually undisguised Cayman roaming the streets of Germany providing us with an early view of Porsche's entry-level coupe that will compete against the new Nissan 370Z and BMW Z4.

2009 Porsche Cayman Facelift In true evolutionary-Porsche-style, you'll probably need a microscope to spot the differences between the forthcoming and the outgoing model. That said, the most distinguishable change on the 2009 Cayman concerns the newly-shaped rear tail lights that are combined with a reversed license plate holder (...) and a slightly different lower air vents. Up front, Porsche's lazy designers reprofiled the Cayman's headlamps and added a set of LED daytime running lights. While they were at it, they also restyled the air-vents by removing the body-colored rods.

The facelifted Cayman is also expected to receive some minor interior tweaks that will include a slightly larger touch screen for the sat-nav, new trim options and upgraded materials.

So what about under the skin changes? Well, Porsche has been pretty tightlipped about the matter but our sources state that both the Cayman and the Boxster will feature more powerful yet more fuel-efficient direct-injection engines and quite possibly, the firm's new double-clutch PDK gearbox that made its premiere on the new 911s.

The facelifted Porsche Cayman is expected to go on sale across the world in early 2009.
