rear axle, surrounded by its lightweight aluminium and steel body. The Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter engine with 275 hp; with the Sport Chrono package it accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. The 3.4-liter engine in the Cayman S produces 325 hp; with PDK and the Sport Chrono package it sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The new Cayman will arrive dealerships in Spring 2013 starting at $52,600 for the Cayman and $63,800 for the Cayman S, not including a destination charge of $950.

Total Car Score Ranks the Top 10 Best Looking Cars of All Time Total Car Score lists the most beautiful car designs to celebrate the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance & Woodward Dream Cruise LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Total Car Score (www.totalcarscore.com), the most comprehensive automotive ranking and comparison website, celebrated the art of the automobile by taking a look back at the top10 best-looking cars of all time. Total Car Score issued its ranking as automotive enthusiasts and the industry's attention focused on the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the premier event for historic and exotic automobiles which took place on August 19th. This same weekend also saw the country's largest collection of classic American iron gather for the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit. "Ask 10 people to name the best-looking car of all time and you'll likely get 10 different answers," said Karl Brauer, Editor in Chief of Total Car Score. "But I'd suggest these 10 cars would be among the most popular answers given. Furthermore, all 10 of these cars have modern-day successors that clearly trace their appearance back to these timeless designs." "If you haven't seen any of these cars in person you owe it to yourself to get to a world-class car show, such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance or Woodward Dream Cruise, to fully appreciate these beautiful machines," said Brauer.
