Some anonymous Porsche executive leaked these photos on the internet, and my god it's sexy!

The 2010 Porsche Boxster was also leaked, but I don't like Boxsters that much, so I'll just Link to the gallery.

In addition to the face-lifted looks, powertrain changes should make both cars faster and more fun to drive, with the Cayman S being boosted to 320 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque while returning better fuel economy. Make the jump for more details and analysis. Update: It looks like LSD will be optional on both models, although it's still not clear if it'll be mechanical or torque biasing.

(...)

These renderings appeared on the Cayman Club message board, where details of their origin were not known. Internal sources have now revealed to us that these are authentic representations of both new models.

We hate to say it, but it looks like two of the best sports cars on sale are getting better. Direct injection and revised variable cam profiles combine to deliver both improved power and economy, while the standard spec receives a welcome boost. But — and this is a big 'but' — there's still no limited-slip differential, which, in our opinion was the only thing holding the current model back. Regardless, the current Cayman and Boxster are not just our pick of the Porsche litter, but our favorite contemporary sports cars, delivering the right blend of performance, handling and involvement, making them capable of embarrassing cars that cost several times the Cayman S' $59,100 price tag. Oh yeah, and expect that to increase as well.

The revised 7-speed PDK manumatic will cease being the manual's poor relation for 2010, now offering faster shift times and 911-like launch control.

It looks like the 911 Turbo-esque LED driving lights are just an optional extra, rather than an indicator of a new turbocharged model, as previously rumored.

holy shit what a radical new design

Porsche are like Aston Martin when it comes to the exterior design department, in other words they don't even have one

Why do radical changes to something that's as close to perfect as you can get?

The Cayman has been out for over a year, its the fixed roof version of the Boxter, so not really a radical new design.

Porche still have the same good looking 911 though, the Cayman is the poor mans version though (so....what I'd hope to have!).

I like.

With regards to Mek's comment about the design - If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Example (probably the best example in terms of style) being the 911.

I think the likes of clarkson have went on about the looks to the extent its lost all meaning.  Too bad the guys who drive porsches are all fucking tools.  Come on, admit it.  They all have those mirrored sun glasses and shaved heads.  And no am not jealous!  R8 anyday

Not much exterior change, which is a good thing, I like the Cayman the way it is.
Nice new power upgrades though. Sexy car.

I actually really like the new design. Never been too much of a fan of the old cayman. Now to convince my father to get one ...
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
