Our snappers captured a pair of undisguised cars being put through final testing, revealing exactly how the new model will look. The Merc gets a neat rear end inspired by the larger S-Class and CL. The curvy new styling incorporates a shorter boot, with wraparound tail-lamps and chrome trim.
The long-awaited newcomer"s...
The long-awaited newcomer"s cabin will look familiar to Boxster owners; the recently facelifted drop-top has loaned much of its switchgear to the firm"s new entry-level coup탩. This official picture shows the distinctive sculpted instrument binnacle, as well as twin round air-vents above the LED information screen. However, elsewhere it"s all change, thanks to the Cayman"s metal roof and practical hatchback. At the rear of the seats there"s a small stowage area, which leads into a shallow 260-litre boot.
When the car hits UK showrooms in November, buyers will be able to choose from a range of options. Full spec details have yet to be confirmed, but they"re expected to include body-coloured interior panels and leather upholstery in the stowage area.
It"s too early for official prices, yet the initial entry-level Cayman S is expected to cost about í‚á£44,000. A less powerful version will join the line-up, but the Boxster"s 220bhp base 2.7-litre engine is unlikely to feature. A more powerful model is also on the cards, although sources say a turbocharged flagship has been ruled out.
