Safety
The brakes are cooled using a
special ventilation system which
channels air from the front
of the car to every part of each
assembly. This arrangement
ensures consistently high levels
of performance and durability,
particularly during heavy use.
The internally vented discs on the
new Cayman measure 298 mm
in diameter at the front of the car
and 299 mm at the rear. On the
Cayman S, the front diameter
is 318 mm. On both models, the
discs are cross-drilled to improve
wet-weather response and
minimise unsprung weight. The
calipers on the new Cayman
have a black anodised finish, while
those on the Cayman S are
painted red.

Braking system.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S
are exceptionally quick under
acceleration. Even more impressive
is the speed of response from
the standard braking system.
Several times more powerful
than the flat-six engine, the
brakes are crucial to the overall
performance of each car.
All four brake calipers have a
four-piston monobloc aluminium
construction. Key characteristics
include excellent rigidity, compact
dimensions and a very modest
contribution to unsprung weight.
The fast and positive pedal
response is eagerly assisted by a
powerful vacuum brake booster.

Driver and passenger airbags.
Both full-size airbags at the
front of the car have a two-stage
inflation capability, in which
deployment is dependent on the
nature and force of the accident.
In a low-speed crash, the airbag
is only partially inflated, thereby
minimising occupant discomfort.
Anti-theft protection.
Both Cayman models have an
engine immobiliser with in-key
transponder. In addition, the
Cayman S has a comprehensive
alarm system with contact-
sensitive exterior protection.
The alarm is activated or
deactivated using the standard
key remote when locking or
unlocking the car. Radar-based
interior surveillance is also
available as an option. approximately 8 litres, ensuring
maximum protection over the
entire seat adjustment range.
The passenger cell is shielded
by side-impact protection beams
in each of the doors.
Other standard safety features
include integral head restraints,
an energy-absorbing steering
column, three-point seat belts
with pre-tensioners and force
limiters, energy-absorbing
structures in the dashboard area
and flame-retardant materials
throughout the interior.
· 66 ·Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP)
Vehicle tracking system.
An optional preparation is
available for both Cayman models
enabling future installation of a
vehicle tracking system obtainable
from Porsche Tequipment. The
system can be used to locate a
stolen vehicle across most of the
countries of Europe. Note:
package comprises special wiring
loom and higher capacity battery.
Child seats.
The passenger’s seat is also
designed to carry an ISOFIX-
compatible child seat. The
necessary preparation – including
airbag deactivation – is available
from Porsche Tequipment. You
will also find a comprehensive
range of Porsche child seats.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP).
Both Cayman models are equipped
with Porsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP) as standard. This
comprehensive package provides
effective protection for the head
and upper body area. Each seat
has two side airbags featuring
hybrid gas generant technology.
A thorax airbag is located in the
side of the seat backrest, while
a head airbag deploys upwards

ComfortSome say comfort is unnecessary
in a sportscar. For us, it’s another
aspect of performance. When a
car is as capable as the Cayman
or Cayman S, why compromise on
your enjoyment? With this in mind, we’ve applied
Porsche engineering principles
to find the optimum blend of
interior materials and cockpit
ergonomics. We’ve also
incorporated all of those features
that make driving such apleasure. This unique combination
of comfort and functionality is
an integral part of the Cayman
driving experience. The result is
a car that defies categorisation.
Except, of course, that it’s a
Porsche.

Load-carrying capability.
The Cayman and Cayman S are
purposefully designed to make
every journey a pleasure. Not
only when enjoying each car for
its own sake, but whatever your
destination. Suddenly, even a trip
to the shops takes on a whole
new level of appeal. You’ll also
find yourself ideally prepared for
all kinds of leisure activity. From
diving in the ocean to trekking
in the hills, both Cayman models
have the carrying capacity for
everything you need.
The generous load concept
includes two luggage compart-
ments, a wide range of interior
storage, and an optional roof
transport system. As a result,
the Cayman and Cayman S are
both eminently practical and
consistently enjoyable, whatever
the reason for your journey.
Front luggage compartment.
The front luggage compartment is
carpet-lined and offers 150 litres
of loadspace. A covered nicheprovides a secure location for the
navigation DVD drive (included
with optional navigation system)
and the optional CD autochanger.
Rear luggage compartment.
The rear compartment beneath
the soft-lined hatch can also
be loaded from inside the car.
Fully carpeted, it comprises two
storage areas: a flat surface
on the engine cover and a main
luggage area to the rear. This
arrangement enables easy loading
of longer items of luggage.
The rear luggage area is both
generously proportioned –
totalling 260 litres – and elegantly
matched to the rest of the car.
As an optional enhancement, you
can apply your chosen exterior
colour to the panels surrounding
the engine cover and the integral
strut tower mouldings
(see InteriorDesign package).
A retaining rail at the front of the
engine cover helps to secure
any luggage under braking. This
can be augmented by an optional
full-size partition which installs

immediately behind the seats.
Smaller items can be secured
on top of the engine cover using
a luggage net with four lashing
eyelets. A stainless steel ‘bridge’
provides an elegant transition
to the lower rear luggage area.
This compartment is designed
for larger items of luggage and
also has four lashing eyelets.
Another useful feature in the rear
compartment is the covered
service opening with filler tubes
for coolant and oil.

Storage compartments.
Both Cayman models have a
generous array of ergonomically
positioned storage compartments.
The lockable glove box has a
roomy interior and comes with
integral CD storage (in conjunctionwith either of the optional sound
systems). Generous compartments
can also be found on the centre
console and each of the doors.
On the Cayman S, these compart-
ments have a leather-upholstered
lid. Between the two seats, on the
engine bulkhead, is an additional
Roof transport system.
The optional roof transport system
has been specially designed to
complement the aerodynamics
of the car. With its aluminium
construction and simple fitting
mechanism, it is extremely easy
to install. A range of attachments
can be used with the system,
including a roof box and carriers
for bikes, skis and snowboards.
The system itself requires no
additional preparation on the car.The full range of attachments is
available from Porsche Tequipment
through your local Porsche Centre.
Maximum roof load is 60 kg.

BOSE® Surround Sound System.
The engine and exhaust on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
their own unique sound experience.
For the perfect accompaniment,
choose the lifelike audio of the
optional BOSE
®Surround Sound
System. Jointly developed by
Porsche and BOSE
®, it is perfectly
engineered for the interior
acoustics of both Cayman models.
A total of 10 loudspeakers,
including an active subwoofer with
integral 100-Watt switching amp,
deliver crystal-clear surround
sound output. The lifelike spatial
quality is equally impressive in
either seat position.Powering it all is a seven-channel
MOST
®-based digital amplifier
featuring 5 x 25-Watt linear amps
and a single 100-Watt switching
unit. AudioPilot™ noise compen-
sation technology provides
automatic adjustment of tone and
volume based on current road
speed and ambient noise. The
result is a noticeably clearer and
more consistent sound, with
no need for continuous manual
adjustment.
Active equalisation matches
all sound output to the unique
acoustics of the Cayman and
Cayman S. Covering the entire
frequency spectrum, it delivers
lifelike audio to both seat
positions.
The dynamic loudness function
included with the system is a
more sophisticated alternative to
conventional technologies. By
enhancing the lower frequencies
in low-volume sound, it actively
compensates for the reduced
sensitivity of the human ear at
the lower end of the range.The key system component,
BOSE
®Automotive Surround
Sound, uses independent
channels at front and rear to
create a push-button panorama
of space and sound. The sense
of depth is further enhanced
with the aid of patented BOSE
®
Signal Processing (BSP). Thanks
to Centerpoint™ technology,
even stereo recordings can be
split into five separate channels.
Together, these technologies
provide a breathtaking alternative
to the car’s natural engine
acoustics. Completing the
package is a CD storage system,
conveniently located in the glove
compartment.

Exhaust emission control.
Four-valve cylinder heads and
VarioCam Plus ensure minimal
emissions at source. After leaving
the engine, the gases are cleaned
by a system of four catalytic
converters and four ‘Lambda’ or
oxygen sensors. Controlling it
all with optimum efficiency is
the Motronic ME7.8 engine
management system. Each bank
of cylinders has its own Lambda
circuit, enabling precision
adjustment of the air/fuel mix.
Each exhaust tract has two
Lambda sensors, one upstream
and one downstream of the
primary catalyst.* The resulting
benefits include full compliance
with both the EU4 emissions
standard and ULEV II regulations
in the United States, as well as
excellent fuel economy.
Noise.
The Cayman and Cayman S comply
with all current noise regulations
without any form of engine
encapsulation. To do that, we’ve
eliminated noise at source in
every area of each car. Engine
components are rigid, moving
parts are light, and tolerances
have been reduced to a minimum.
The result is a pure and distinctive
sound – with all the character
you’d expect from a Porsche.
Fuel system.
All fuel lines are made from robust
aluminium, while those carrying
vapours are multi-layer plastic. The
result is a significant reduction in
the evaporation of hydrocarbons.
Materials and recycling.
All structural components,
switchgear and trim are made
from fully recyclable materials.
Better still, it is highly unlikely
that they will ever need recycling
at all. Long-term durability is,
after all, one of the defining
qualities of every Porsche car.
A key objective during the
development process was all-
round weight reduction. This was
achieved using cast aluminium
alloys, synthetic materials and
high-tensile metals. Used correctly,
this blend of materials is both
stronger and lighter than
conventional
steel. As well as
reducing fuel consumption, it
offers positive environmental
benefits.
Approximately 85 % of all com-
ponents can already be recycled
using today’s technology. This
proportion is set to increase as
* Not featured in markets with leaded fuel.The new Cayman and the Cayman S |
Environment
new thermal methods are
introduced. To simplify recycling,
all synthetic components are
clearly labelled in accordance
with the relevant standards.
Both Cayman models are entirely
free of CFCs and components
manufactured with the aid of
these chemicals. Water-based
paints are used throughout each
car, thereby reducing the need
for chemical solvents during the
production process.
Servicing.
Longer service intervals are not
only more convenient for you, they
are also better for the environment.
With the new Cayman and
Cayman S, we have achieved
very modest servicing
requirements: engine oil every
20,000 miles (or two years),
oil filter every 20,000 miles, air
filter every 40,000 miles, spark
plugs every 60,000 miles (or
four years), and brake fluid every
two years.
In addition to the obvious
environmental benefits, the
advantage for you is two-fold: a
lower cost of ownership throughout
the life of the car, and more time
spent on the road. Based on
mileage alone, the new Cayman
models require just three stops
for servicing every 60,000 miles,
or one service every two years.

PersonalisationWhen we began designing the
Cayman model range, there was
one thing we couldn’t include:
your own personal touch. To help
you add that vital ingredient,
we’ve prepared a comprehensiverange of options. Together, they
offer enormous scope for
personalising your Porsche. You
can use them to express your
individuality and style in every
area of the car. From colour
combinations and interior
materials to a custom-engineered
sound system. Whatever you
choose to include in your
specification, the result is
uniquely yours.
