At the Los Angeles Auto Show last month, Porsche revealed the 2013 Cayman, the third generation of the two-seat, mid-engine sports car.
60 pounds lighter than its predecessor thanks to a new lightweight body, the Cayman produces 275 hp while getting 32 mpg, an impressive feat.
In light of this, we've decided to take a look at the company's history, from its early sports cars, to its gritty war history, to the modern miracles of its automotive engineering.
Enjoy salivating over some truly classic machines.
1900: The first Porsche and the world's first hybrid car.
