And yes, the narrator on the video said they hit 100km/h in 6 seconds. At this point the credibility level of this video dropped to the ground before my eyes; then again, it's not a full out comparison video. He simply mentions some of the strong points of each car.

Interesting. That makes a whole lot of sense. Porsche may be leaning on even the more established reviewers then? Because the recent EVO 4-way comparison of the 1M, TT-RS and 370Z also had a Cayman-R. In fact, the R was so stripped out, it didn't even have a radio or A/C !!
In spite of this, and the fact that the Cayman pipped the 1M by about a second on the track, they ended up awarding top honors to the Bimmer.
