StudioTorino Puts an Italian Twist to New Porsche Cayman, Only 20 will be Built

Whereas the previous model we showed you from StudioTorino, the Mercedes-Benz SL Shooting Brake, was a purely conceptual project, the Porsche Cayman S-based Moncenisio previewed in these sketches will be built in a limited run of 20 numbered units that will be available for order beginning from this November, following the release a real-life prototype model in October.

The Italian design studio and coachbuilder will keep the Porsche Cayman S' mechanicals intact, meaning it will be powered by a 321hp (325PS) 3.4-liter flat-six engine linked to either a manual gearbox or a PDK dual-clutch transmission.

The rest of the car, including the exterior and the interior, will be heavily re-worked with the Porsche gaining a new body with plenty of carbon fiber parts, different 20-inch wheels and a fresh paint job in a special shade of blue, plus a customized interior.

On its website, StudioTorino notes: "The price for the transformation of a new “Fuoriserie MONCENISIO” is €135,000 [about US$180,500 at today's rates]. It is understood that the client will provide Studiotorino with his/her own  licensed and registered Cayman S."
