With the right set of tires and an experienced pair of hands behind the wheel, a mid-engined sports car like the new Porsche Cayman S (981) can be quite a joyful toy on a snow-covered track, as Sport Auto’s Christian Gebhardt proves in this video that was shot at the Hockenheim racetrack in Germany.
Besides twisting the tail of the Cayman S, Gebhardt also topped out at 290km/h or 180mph, on what we assume to be the Autobahn.
As a reminder, in its latest iteration, the Cayman S sports a 3.4-liter flat-six churning out 321hp (325PS) for a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 5.0 sec with the manual gearbox, 4.9 seconds with the PDK and 4.7 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono package.
