Porsche Cayman (Alzen Rennversion)
Most of the 190 competitors were allowed to admire the Cayman only from the rear.
The Eifel Kroko
The new Porsche Cayman of the Alzen team pleases the fans on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Porsche does not love the running version however completely so.
Porsche is sour. That had to come in such a way. Finally engine haven is reserved with the noblen Stuttgart sports
car farmer the
911er-Modellen. But now shakes calculated the small, but fine troop around the two brothers Jürgen (44) and Uwe Alzen (39) at this old tradition. Jürgen, the older and calmer Alzen brother, is the head straight times six men strong teams from Betzdorf in the Westerwald. His five years younger brother Uwe is cult figure on the Nürburgring
Nordschleife.
This Herzblut Racer is responsible for Top times, while Jürgen worries about technology and money. Both have the heart at the right mark and a hehres goal: win, which otherwise? “Not somehow and already not at all with Schmu”, as Jürgen stresses. But it says also: “House man food is not however our thing!”

Three years after their also in self-direction developed 996 Biturbo steam hammer with the Kosenamen “Turbinchen” put Alzens now spectacularly after. In the record time of only five months they built for the Nürburgring Langstreckenmeisterschaft a running version
Porsche of the Cayman.
The unusual autochoice is for Jürgen Alzen obvious: “Natural is the
997 (Porsche current 911er-Baureihe; D. Talk.) a mad basis. But one wants to use all possibilities, is the Cayman the better alternative. Understandably that this Porsche does not please necessarily.” The large plus of the Cayman opposite that 911: Central instead of tail engine plus longer wheel base. “At the end it concerns to all long-distance classical authors only emphasis, balance and movability”, brings it in the DTM and Uwe Alzen matured on the point.
Up to the front axle support from the Porsche 996 RSR, the disks and the absorber basis everything is new. From the cultivations of kevlar over the drive unit (Holinger Getriebe/Drexler barrier) up to with H&R manufactured the wishbones and for smaller friction now the rolling instead of slidingstored absorbers is all mark self-'s building.
That approximately 525 HP strong six cylinder box he engine comes from the partner of many years Reinhold Schmirler of R-S-Tuning. And tire partner Hankook karrt, if' s must be, every three weeks again baked special rollers made of South Korea on. With the Rollout in Hockenheim the Alzen Cayman at first attempt was faster than the 911er. Also with the first ring fight 2007 it convinced despite loss lying on P3.
At the end with place five contently
“No serious problem, the clutch release sleeve of the clutch went broken”, is Jürgen Alzen nevertheless contently. “Uwe is at first attempt 8,27 (minutes over 24,433 km; D. Talk.) driven, the fastest one 8.23. Now we know that our concept comes up.” Also completely substantially: the weight distribution of 46,5 per cent in front to 53.5 per cent in the back.
“All the same with which Spritmenge, the relationship changes only around a half per cent”, says for Jürgen Alzen proudly. The goal now: the large north loop round clearly under 8:20 minutes.
Thus the Alzen Cayman would be three seconds faster than the remainder of the field. And one play the trump card for its Cayman have the Alzens still in the cellar: a Porsche-V10-Motor from
the
Carrera GT with full 660 HP.
“Only, grinst Jürgen Alzen are missing to a few little things”. And Porsche passes the laughter still more.
And Porsche says:
“Within the range of the series near engine haven Porsche concentrates on the 911er. Projects of private teams, which want to set on basis of the Porsche Cayman vehicles, are not supported by us.” (Hartmut Kristen, director of Porsche engine haven)
