Mid-engine Porsches: From road to track, the mid-engine layout is a Porsche staple

Article Abstract:

The Cayman is the latest in a long line of mid-engine Porsches that began with Porsche No. 1, the well-known roadster built in Gmund in 1948. The new Cayman is the third road-legal mid-engine production car by Porsche and technically it is essentially an elegant and aerodynamically very efficient coupe-bodied Boxster with more luxurious appointments and a more powerful and more sophisticated engine and its the best driver's car among affordable Porsches.
