So, black is the new black at Porsche.

So it seems. This is the new Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1, a special run of 777 all-black Cayman models – based on the 3.4-litre 295bhp Cayman S. It’s the work of the Porsche Design Studio – but we’re not sure about those body stripes. It arrives here in November, priced at £49,890, a mighty £5810 over the standard Cayman S.

You get a choice of black paint for a start – you can have glossy or matte black paint work. Porsche has lowered the ride height of the Edition 1 by 10mm and the Cayman is fitted with 5mm axle spacers to push the 911 turbo style 19inch alloys - shod with 235/35 ZR profile tyres at the front and wider 265/35 ZR profile boots out back – flush with the wheelarches.
