For example: The new Cayman has a 2.4-inch longer wheelbase than before, shorter overhangs, larger wheels, a larger greenhouse (the base of the windshield has been pulled forward and the hatch-line lands farther back), and a higher equipment level, and yet this visually muscled-up Cayman still manages to be about 60 pounds lighter than the car it replaces, thanks to aluminum-intensive structures and assembly shared with the 911 Carrera.
