German tuner Techart tweaks the 981-generation Porsche Cayman coupe. Sports exhaust, 21in alloy wheels
German tuner Techart has revealed its tweaks for the new Porsche Cayman. The modifier works solely on Porsche models, and the new 981-generation coupe is the latest to receive new styling treatment. The front receives a new two-part spoiler and wider air intake, while the rear gains a fixed wing plus a new diffuser and tailpipes. They’re the visual evidence of the new sports exhaust, with a valve-control system that boosts the flat-six engine’s soundtrack (be it the 271bhp 2.7-litre in the base Cayman or the 321bhp 3.4-litre of the Cayman S) at the push of a button.

The interior offers room for detailed personalisation, with the choice of carbonfibre trim, coloured stitching and either paddle shifters or PDK buttons should you have specified Porsche’s seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox.
