Porsche Cayman: Thrill of the Chase
Product Description
This book documents in lavish detail the unique styling, engineering, and performance of Porsche’s new mid-engine coupe – the Porsche Cayman. Produced in cooperation with Porsche AG, the book includes behind-the-scenes design blueprints, studio sketches and cutaway drawings, spec information, specially commissioned photography including testing and development, and historical comparisons with the 904 racing car.
Beautiful, commissioned photography and an engaging text tells the Cayman story in all its splendor—performance, technical features, handling, lightweight construction, intelligent use of space—at once a true Porsche and a unique model in its own right in the family of legendary sports cars. Leading German automotive photographers and journalists worked with Porsche, and the book is printed using a 7-color process and varnished pages for a luxurious look and feel (most illustrated books use a 4-color process and lesser glossy pages). Porsche Cayman is the ultimate collectible for any owner of the new car, and an essential contribution to any Porsche enthusiast’s library.

A good book on the evolution of Porsche Cayman. Lots of good information and photos. I would have preferred a simple statement of the history / facts instead of the weak "animal hunting" metaphor for the whole … was so poorly done it detracted from the information contained in the real. Its the only book available on the Cayman Islands, compared to many there to 911, so you're stuck with that for now. rgr

In general, a very small value. Very dumbed down, no insight what so ever in any of these cars. The images are reproducible … too many of those same cars. No change in color of available colors. Featureless background. No real technical information. Issue of the Porsche dealer exceeds what we have here. The real waste of money …

As the owner, I am a bit biased. But like the book, a great table book with lots of pictures. Good information on the car, from the original project, in the process of taking the car to what it is. I recommend this book, especially for Cayman owners. But who likes cars and porsches should enjoy it as well.
