2006 Porsche Cayman S Maisto 1:18

First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration by Pinky Lai. A large percentage of the Boxsters were assembled in Finland for Porsche by Valmet Automotive with others assembled in Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart. All Caymans were manufactured in Finland by Valmet Automotive. Porsche's Deputy Chairman, Holger P. Haerter said the contract with Valmet Automotive would end in 2012, and the Cayman's production was to be outsourced to Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. As Volkswagen assumed control of Porsche AG, production of Caymans and Boxsters after 2012 began in the former Karmann plant in Osnabrück, Germany, at the time owned by Volkswagen and also used for production of the 2012 Golf (Mk6) convertible.
The car is not named after the Cayman Islands. Both the car and the islands are named after the caiman, a member of the alligator family. When the first Caymans arrived at dealerships for sale, the automaker adopted four caimans at Stuttgart's Wilhelma Zoo.
Porsche brought an infringement lawsuit in 2009 against Crocs, the maker of the popular rubber shoes. At issue was the footwear company's clog name also called Cayman. An injunction was granted against Crocs Europe, a division of the Longmont, Colorado-based shoe company preventing their use in Germany of the Cayman name.

1928 Mercedes Benz SSK Burago Made In Italy Scala 1:24













 El Mercedes-Benz SSK es un roadster construido por el fabricante de automóviles alemán Mercedes-Benz entre 1928 y 1932. Su nombre es una abreviatura de "Super Sport Kurz" (que en alemán significa "Súper Deportivo Corto"), debido a que se trataba de un desarrollo con distancia entre ejes reducida de un modelo anterior, el Mercedes-Benz S. El SSK era un modelo de rendimiento extremo y obtuvo numerosos éxitos en competición, convirtiéndose en uno de los deportivos más prestigiosos de su época.

El SSK fue el último coche diseñado para Mercedes-Benz por el ingeniero Ferdinand Porsche antes de fundar su propia compañía.​ Estaba basado en un modelo anterior, el Mercedes-Benz S, pero con el chasis acortado en 480 mm para aligerarlo y hacerlo más ágil y maniobrable, pensando especialmente en carreras cortas y en pruebas de montaña.

Propulsado por un motor de seis cilindros en línea, siete litros de cilindrada, árbol de levas en cabeza y sobrealimentado,​ disponía de una potencia de entre 200 y 300 caballos, y de un par motor de hasta 680 Nm (dependiendo de los ajustes adoptados). El SSK era capaz de superar los 190 km/h, convirtiéndolo en el coche más rápido de su época.​ La sobrealimentación del motor del SSK era accionada por una palanca que se pulsaba cuando se pisaba el pedal del acelerador a fondo, dando entonces un empuje extra al vehículo. Al soltarlo, se desconectaba el compresor.
