"One of very few criticisms I have of this new £43,930 Cayman S (think Boxster coupé with more power) is that it lacks a limited slip differential, a device that improves grip, particularly traction. When I asked at the press conference why this was missing, the car's chief chassis developer said simply: "The car needs it, but marketing says it cannot have it." Why not? Because if it did it would be quicker cross-country than the Porsche 911, a car more expensive to the tune of £15,000

The normal Cayman S is nowhere near that fast .... Frankel got a very special one-off that really should have had LSD .....

Surely that is just a typo error, as they always do with numbers...
 
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide - LSD????
I am sure that the car was not on a prohibited drug, although the differential might have beeen limited and slipped.
