Chassis
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping
control system. Available on
both Cayman models, it offers
continuous adjustment of
individual damping forces based
on current road conditions and
driving style. Agility and driving
pleasure are significantly
enhanced while retaining the
car’s natural ride quality. Equipped
with PASM, the car rides 10 mm
lower than with the standard
steel-sprung suspension.
The driver can choose one of
two setup modes, ‘Normal’ or
‘Sport’. While the first is a blend
of performance and comfort, the
‘Sport’ setup ratings are generally
much firmer, enabling greater
agility on the racetrack. In either
mode, the system responds to
changing loads by automatically
applying the optimum damping
rate on each individual wheel.
The rates are selected from a
range of map options which are
specially adapted to the unique
dynamics of the Cayman and
Cayman S.
The movement of the body is
continuously monitored under
acceleration, braking and cornering
manoeuvres, as well as on poor
road surfaces. Other sensors
provide additional information on
lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine
torque. A dedicated control unitprovides real-time analysis and
damper adjustment as defined
for the respective setup mode
(‘Normal’ or ‘Sport’). The result:
greater stability and more
consistent occupant comfort.
If, when ‘Sport’ mode is selected,
the quality of road surface drops
below a certain threshold, the
system immediately switches
to
a softer rating and restores
the car’s traction and grip.
When the road surface improves,
PASM returns to the original,
harder ratings. The system
remains active in ‘Normal’ mode,
too, automatically switching to a
harder setup if the car is driven
more assertively. As the dampers
become stiffer, the car becomes
more stable and driver control is
improved.

Safety
it can never suspend the laws of
physics, PSM does provide that
extra margin of safety whenever
you need it most. A key component
in PSM is a specially optimised
anti-lock braking system (ABS)
offering safer deceleration and
shorter braking distances. PSM
is also invaluable when applying
the throttle on low-grip surfaces.
Here, it uses the ABD (automatic
brake differential) and ASR
(anti-slip regulation) functions to
maintain traction and stability.
In order to retain the car’s natural
agility, PSM combines a high
trigger threshold with precision
input characteristics.
Porsche Stability
Management (PSM).
This automatic vehicle stability
control system is standard
equipment on both Cayman
models. Throughout each journey,
PSM uses a range of sensors to
monitor the direction, speed, yaw
velocity and lateral acceleration
of the car. Using this information,
it is possible to calculate the
actual direction of travel at any
given moment. If the car begins
to oversteer or understeer,
PSM applies selective braking on
individual wheels to restore
stability and optimum speed. WhileThe PSM threshold is raised
higher still when ‘Sport’ mode is
selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Package/Sport Chrono
Package Plus. The resulting
drive is much more involving,
particularly at speeds up to
around 70 km / h (44 mph). If
you’d rather enjoy the car
unassisted, the system can be set
to standby. When ‘Sport’ mode is
selected, PSM will only intervene
under heavy braking where both
front wheels are in danger of
locking. In ‘Normal’ mode, PSM
automatically becomes active
as soon as one of the front
wheels requires ABS assistance.The upper section of each door
features additional reinforcements
(3) which enhance the rigidity of
the car. This upper load path (4)
is used to channel energy into
the side of the car and thus
provide additional protection for
the passenger cell.
Passive safety.
Both Cayman models easily
comply with all statutory
requirements in respect of frontal,
side, diagonal, rear impact and
rollover protection.
The bodyshell structure contains
a highly resilient passenger
cell offering exceptional crash
protection. At the front of the
car, the cell is protected by a
patented system of longitudinal
and transverse members (1). In
the event of an accident, energy
is absorbed and distributed by
the front-end structure, thereby
minimising cell deformation.
Additional features include a
bulkhead cross-member (2) made
from super high-strength steel.
This element is designed to
absorb impact forces from the
longitudinal members and thus
protect both front footwells.

Instruments.
A single glance is all it takes –
particularly when it comes to the
instruments. The familiar Porsche
grouping of symmetrical round
instruments forms an integral
part of the cockpit design.Above the instruments is a
specially designed shroud with
semi-transparent grille. The dials
on the new Cayman have a black
background, while those on the
Cayman S have an aluminium-
coloured finish. Both sets of
instruments feature crisp white
backlight illumination. An integral
light sensor automatically adjuststhe degree of illumination to match
the ambient light conditions.
The dials provide a continuous
overview of all key information,
including external temperature,
time, trip odometer, total odometer
and vehicle speed. You can also
view a range of additional data
from the standard on-board
computer, e.g., average fuel
access to audio, navigation and
– if fitted – telephone functions
(only in conjunction with PCM).
