German car giant Porsche AG's sports coupe 'Cayman S', which will be launched worldwide in November this year, is likely to hit Indian roads in January 2006.

Company sources said the two-seater sports car would be launched in India two months after the worldwide launch. The delay in launch will be basically due to homolagation process required to bring the vehicle to the Indian market, they said.

Targeted at the high-end consumers, the sports car has a maximum speed of 275 kilometres per hour. With manual transmission and a centrally placed engine, Porsche claims 'Cayman S' accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.

It is based on the Boxster series, with a newly developed six-cylinder 3.4 litres engine having an output of 295 bhp.

The 'Cayman S' is also expected to go on sale in the United States and Canada at about the same time of launch in India. It is expected to be priced in the US at about $58,900 while the price tag in Canada is estimated to be 83,900 Canadian dollars.

Porsche hasn't disclosed the expected price of the vehicle in India yet.
