Video Rennsport Reunion IV - The Chase with Cayman R & 991 Carrera S

While at Rennsport Reunion IV, Rolex Grand-Am GT Champion Leh Keen, in a Porsche Cayman R, chases Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to film shots of the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S in action.

Just a small recap. The latest member of the Porsche family is powered by a direct injection 3.8 liter flat six which delivers 400hp and 440Nm of torque. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a seven-speed manual transmission or the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which improves the performance. With the manual transmission, acceleration from nought to 100km/h is done in 4.5 seconds. The 911 Carrera S with PDK manages to accelerates to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds. Pressing the Sport Plus button on the optional Sport Chrono package cuts that to 4.1 seconds. The top speed is 304km/h.

The Cayman R comes with a tuned-up 3.4 liter six-cylinder engine developing 330hp (243kW). In the standard configuration it transmits its power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox that propels the car from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.0 seconds. You can also get a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) that reduces its acceleration time to 4.9 seconds. The Cayman R can be supplied with one of the optional Sport Chrono packages, taking it to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.7 seconds. The new mid-engine coupé is capable of a top speed of 282km/h (175mph) with manual gearbox, or 280km/h (174mph) with PDK.

    Drivers such as Brian Redmond, Hurley Haywood, Derek Bell, and George Fullmer were present and added historical meaning to this celebration of Porsche’s racing success. It was an endless array of 917s, 956s, 962s, 935s, 911s, 910s, 907s, 908s, 904s, 356s, RSKs, 550s, and even the rather recent RS Spyders. It was Porsche racing nirvana. Also, the current Kayman and Porsche cup 911s were in abundance. The PORSCHE 211 video captures it all in all of its color and speed.
