2010 Porsche Cayman Sneaks Into LA Just In Time For Auto Show [2010 Porsche Cayman S]

Despite the ubiquity of semi-disguised Porsche Panameras making a secret publicity tour of the United States, we haven’t seen much of the 2010 Porsche Cayman since we exclusively unveiled it back in July. Now, an eagle-eyed Cayman Club forum member has spotted a trifecta of the updated sports cars winging their way into LAX. We’re sure it’s not a coincidence that they arrived just two weeks before the LA Auto Show.

Back in July we showed you an internal document that leaked renderings and details of not only the new Cayman, but the 2010 Porsche Boxster too. The biggest update is the addition of an optional limited-slip differential, which could just elevate the cars to 911 levels of performance. Check out the specs below and check back with us in two weeks for full coverage from the LA Auto Show.
