Farnbacher offers a Cayman with a Porsche 911 S engine. The 3.8 L X-51 engine sports 395 horsepower. Farnbacher claims that since the Cayman is more balanced and has the ability to be better then the 911 given more horsepower. Farnbacher charges $39,500. Car and Driver said their test vehicle, which happened to be the best Cayman they ever have driven, came to a total of $124,360. It does seem step because one would be able to get a 911 Turbo for almost the same amount. The appearance is altered by adding is a 997 front end, carbon fiber splitter and a Euro-spec rear bumper. I am just waiting until someone adds the 911 turbo engine to a Cayman. Update: Company bankrupt after Ponzi scheme
