Porsche on Wednesday used the Barber Motorsports Park to introduce the Cayman S to automotive trade and hobby publications, as well as broadcast crews and notable freelancers. About a dozen car reviewers for publications such as Road and Track Magazine were at the track Wednesday. There are only about 270 Caymans in the United States and Canada. German carmaker Porsche chose the Barber complex off Interstate 20 in east Birmingham to let seasoned auto reviewers test the new sports car on the winding race track that regularly hosts car and motorcycle races. The track has become a fixture on the worldwide auto scene since it opened to in 2003. “Events like this form the first impressions of the world automotive press,” said Gary Fong, Porsche’s North American spokesman. “People are looking for objective views of new cars, so this is a very important venue for us.” We imagine as a result of this event, several more interesting reviews of the Cayman will be published in the coming weeks.
