This is a little old, having debuted July 16th, but it's still worth a look

//Underhood, the Cayman's 3.4L six gets the full once-over. Bored out to 99mm, it receives larger pistons, a new crankshaft, sports camshafts, and modified intake and exhaust systems. Accordingly, the engine management electronics are reprogrammed to handle all the changes. The net result: displacement grows to 3.8 liters, producing a healthy 385 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.

 

Cars equipped with Porsche's PASM get TechArt's VarioPlus coil-over suspension, which allows ride-height lowering of up to 25mm and lets the driver select between Sport and Normal suspension modes via a cockpit-mounted control. Regardless of which one is selected, the dampers firm up automatically in sport driving conditions. Stylish five-spoke TechArt Formula lightweight wheels fitted with low-profile Continental ContiSportContact tires fill the wells nicely -- 19" in front and 20" in back.//

TechArt has always been a little too Bling for my tastes but that's not bad none the less.

 

Give me the Farnbacher Loles Cayman GTR anyday though....then again for that money just buy a GT3 and do it right the first time.

I like the cayman but even in stock form it's still extremely overpriced for what it is in my opinion. The Techart version looks good with some better performance, but $125K+ is just ridiculous.

 

From that article:

 

“Those are the performance cornerstones of the new TechArt GTsport, that TechArt Automobildesign (http://www.techart.de) builds in small-series production based on the Porsche Cayman S. MSRP starts at 100,000 euros.”
