Tiptronic S.
Both Cayman models are available
with five-speed Tiptronic S as
optional equipment. This versatile
system combines an automatic
transmission with the option of
manual gearshifts.
For manual control, simply slot
the gear selector into the manual
gate and use the gearshift controls
on the steering wheel. Press up
to change up, and down to change
down. Gearshifts are performed
in around 0.2 seconds with
virtually no interruption in drive.
The action is comparable with
that of a manual gearbox.
Switch to automatic, and you can
still change gear by hand using
the rocker controls on the steering
wheel. This race-derived function
is particularly useful during
overtaking manoeuvres. If there
is no manual input for a period
of eight seconds, the system will
revert to automatic mode. The
drive position and gear selection
are displayed at all times on a
dedicated cockpit display.
In automatic mode, Tiptronic S
can choose from a range of
gearshift points for each individual
gear. The standard gearshift
pattern, designed for maximum
fuel economy, can be steplessly
varied up to a dedicated ‘Sport’
configuration for optimum high-
performance driving. Each
gearshift point is automatically
selected based on current road
conditions and driving style. Within
a short space of time, you’ll
develop a feel for the system and
begin to influence gearshifts using
the throttle alone. The benefits
of Tiptronic S are particularly
apparent when exploring the car’s
performance. Even in automatic,
the rapid gearshift action
enhances the agility of the car.

Manual gearbox with
dual-mass flywheel.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S
are specifically designed for a more
immediate driving experience. A
crucial element within that concept
is the standard manual gearbox.

mechanical noise and thus greater
focus on the natural sound of the
engine. The flywheel is mated to
a hydraulically operated clutch,
while the final drive ratio has been
carefully selected for optimum
sports performance. The gearshift
mechanism is cable operated
so as to insulate the lever against
vibration from the engine and
gearbox.
Other useful functions include a
warm-up programme, automatic
selection of the ‘Sport’ gearshift
pattern by means of rapid throttle
inputs, gearshift suppression
during cornering manoeuvres,
automatic downshifts under heavy
braking, an incline sensor
(improves uphill acceleration and
downhill engine braking), a nd
automatic upshifts when traction
is threatened under braking in
the wet.
If the optional Sport Chrono
Package is enabled, the gearshift
action is even more direct and
responsive. If you happen to be
driving in manual mode, automatic
upshifts are restricted.

types have a short-throw action
and a balanced spread of ratios
which are specially adapted to
the individual character of each car.

On-board computer.
The standard on-board computer
provides a wide range of
information, including average
fuel consumption, average speed,
range till empty and audio data.
It can also be used to view data
from the optional Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM). Information is
accessed using a control stalk on
the steering column and viewed in the central instrument display.
If combined with the optional
PCM, you can access additional
data and functions such as
average values and driver-defined
speed-limit warnings. The control
stalk for the computer is also
used to select the analogue and
digital timing functions in the
optional Sport Chrono Package
