I came across this MotorTrend test of the
Porsche Cayman S PDK (PDK stands for Porsche double-clutch gearbox). Very impressive performance numbers to 60 mph without much effort.

Meanwhile, new software aids include brake-based hill-holding and launch control (we saw a two-way zip-to-60 average of 4.5 seconds without even trying -- way faster than the 4.9 seconds Porsche is officially stating). Porsche claims a 171-mph top speed.
