I own a 2016 base 981 Cayman manual transmission with the Sport Chrono package. Activating it does three things for me:

It’s that last part that’s the most fascinating: the Hellcat’s days are numbered, not because consumers don’t want them, but it’ll come down to those engines being regulated out of existence.

Excuse me, we’ve renamed it to Otisburg.

But without windows, how am I supposed to fire a grenade launcher at those chasing me?

Those are purrrrty.

I guess I don’t understand the big deal here. Cornering lights been around on other high-end motorcycles for years now, BMW, Ducati, KTM, even Harley-Davidson all have them.
