Hardly the stuff of dreams.
Especially if its as expensive as a 3 year old Cayman.
Cant see it going anywhere far.
Mind you it looks nice.

Low power and torque? It's rumoured to have a 300bhp turbo'd engine and a kerb weight of 1000kg. If that's true I don't think you need to worry about torque!!

Definitely not, around 180-210 Bhp.

1750cc Turbocharged engine.
However as you said it might be around 900kg so the power to weight ratio is good.
