That Porsche is the world’s most profitable car company is not news. But can the German sports car outfit really be banking $28,000 (£14,000) with every car sold? That’s what the analysts at B&D Forecast reckon…

Nice car, the Cayman coupe. But it’s not exactly a classic beauty. Nope, it suffers from a few too many fussy details and awkward styling cues to earn that accolade. But what if you could buff out the dodgy side air intake, clean up the front bumper, add a pair of elegant flying buttresses and delete the crappy rear-quarter window? Well, you’d have a winner and it would be called the Studio Torino RK Coupe…

A classic 295bhp 3.4-litre flat-six ought to be enough for a £43k mid-engined sports car. But thanks to a seriously capable chassis, familiarity with the Cayman almost breeds contempt for that sort of power. It could easily cope with a lot more grunt. Verily, that’s exactly what tuning outfit TechArt has given it, courtesy of a big-bore engine conversion.

Five brake horse power. And a grand total of 2 lb/ft of torque. That’s what you get for the roughly £4,000 extra Porsche demands for the new entry-level Cayman coupe, announced this week, compared to the base Boxster. That’s right folks, just like the cheapest Boxster, the new Cayman non-S packs a 2.7-litre version of Porsche’s classic flat-six mill. If you thought the price premium for the tin-top Cayman S looked a little dubious, this latest variant makes Porsche’s confusing cabriolet-vs-coupe pricing structure more baffling than ever.
