Nestled in the engine bay will be the buyer’s choice of two flat-six motors: the standard model will use a 2.7-liter unit with 275 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque, and the uplevel Cayman S gets a 3.4-liter mill that produces 325 ponies and 273 lb-ft of twist. As before, a six-speed manual is standard while Porsche’s PDK seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is included in the options list.
Though the wheelbase has grown by 2.4 inches compared with previous model, weight is actually down by as much as 60 pounds (depending on equipment), helping both acceleration and fuel economy. Fitted with the PDK and the Sport Chrono package, the base model achieves sixty mph from a standstill in a claimed (and likely conservative) 5.1 seconds; the Cayman S can do the deed in 4.4 ticks.
Complimenting the Cayman’s straight-line talents are numerous optional extras, including a brake-induced torque-vectoring system, an updated version of Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and active transmission mounts (part of the Sport Chrono Package) that stiffen to reduce drivetrain movement during spirited driving.
The 2014 Cayman will begin arriving at Porsche dealerships son April 27, 2013. Pricing will begin at $52,600 for the base model, and the Cayman S will command $63,800.

that is one sweet looking update. Rear looks a bit like the 'Bug though.
