Porsche’s 911 Carrera and Cayman could represent those two elements: a fat man’s sports car and mid-range fertilizer for Porsche’s sales figures. But German tuning firm 9ff has blended them together in its Dortmund lab to produce the CR-42, a 911-engined Cayman so volatile it could convince George W. Bush to invade Germany.
It’s common knowledge the mid-engine Cayman could have toppled the 911 had Porsche wanted to consign its greatest car to the trash. All it required were a few extra ponies and a limited-slip differential for this lithe sports car to leave the icon breathing its dust. Porsche couldn’t let that happen and deliberately filed down the crocodile’s teeth.
