Our spy shooters and even some of our readers have been stalking the next Cayman sports coupe for months now as Porsche engineers continue to test the car on public roads and tracks alike.

We’ve already told you that the second generation Cayman will begin arriving in markets around the world by spring of 2013, but today, we learned from an Autonews report that the coupe version of the new Boxster will debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show this November.

Very much like the new Boxster roadster with which it shares its underpinnings and engine lineup, the 2013 Cayman will grow a few inches in length offering improved passenger and luggage space, but it will also be lighter and more powerful than the current model.
