Porsche Cayman Black Edition

Porsche is increasing their Black Edition lineup that already includes special editions of the 911 Carrera and the Boxster. They are adding the Porsche Cayman Black Edition to the lineup. The special mid-engined sports car features a classic black on black color combination.

Beyond the color the Black Edition offers standard equipment that make it a better value. Improvements to standard equipment include enhanced headlights, wheels, and sound system. Additional standard content includes the Sport Design steering wheel, door sill guards with Black Edition logo, auto-dimming rear view mirrors, and headrests embossed with the Porsche crest. Black paint is standard, and Jet Black Metallic is also available as an option.

At the middle of the Black Edition you will find a 2.7-liter flat-six that offers 275 horsepower. The special edition also offers 20-inch Carrera Classic wheels and Bi-Xenon headlights with PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Light System). Other standard features include the Porsche Communication Management system with navigation, the upgraded Sound Package Plus and Park Assist for front and rear.

The Cayman Black Edition will start at $59,200 and will be available in showrooms starting in January of 2016. That is just under $7,000 over the base model starting price and when you figure the included standard equipment it makes it quite a bargain in the Porsche world.

Having said this for just under $4,000 more you could get more performance in a Cayman S. It won’t have all the options, but would be noticeably faster. So, which would you choose the Black Edition or S?
