windows are two additional lines
which channel the roof into

sweeps back from the
windscreen pillars to merge with
the powerful rear section. The
sharply contoured side skirts
track the flow of air as it streams
into the side intake openings.
Within each opening are three
vertically divided sections which
optimise the airflow to the
engine.
Another typical coupé feature
is the absence of a B-pillar. To
the rear of each door, the lower
window edge makes a dramatic The curvature of the headlights,
wings and front lid creates
a fascinating combination of
dynamic forms. The front lid
and apron bring a sense of
forward momentum to the entire
front end of the car.
Move around to the side, and we
can trace the design as it extends
across the rest of the car. The
arcing lines of the front and
rear wings create a gracefully

The Cayman design philosophy.
A single glance is all it takes
to recognise a Porsche. Look a
little closer and you’ll find a
sporting character unique to the
new Cayman and the Cayman S.
Sinuous, muscular, from front
to rear, they are poised and ready
to perform.Energy and potential are clearly
expressed in the dynamic interplay
of concave and convex forms.
Viewed from the front, this
powerful capability is immediately
conveyed by the large air-intake
openings. Their distinctive design
gives each Cayman model a
unique and provocative look.
Neatly positioned within the
outermost intakes are the twin
fog and side light units. Their
rounded form is elegantly
combined with horizontal aerofoil
elements. Splitter elements at
the base of the front apron
provide a further reduction in
front-end lift.

Rear screen.
Both models have a large, tinted
and heated rear screen offering
excellent rearward visibility.
A detachable fabric screen on
the inside of the rear lid provides
additional privacy for the main
luggage area.
Rear wiper.
Both Cayman models can also
be equipped with a highly
effective and streamlined rear
wiper system. Its elegant form
blends harmoniously with the
exterior design.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is
automatically enabled whenever
you select reverse gear.
Move too close to a stationary
object and a warning signal is
emitted. Continue to reverse and
the tone increases in frequency.
The distance is measured by a
row of ultrasonic sensors, which
are neatly concealed in the rear
bumper.

‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard lighting function
provides comfort and safety
when using the car after dark.
The foglights and taillights are
automatically illuminated when the
car is locked or unlocked using
the key remote. The lights remain
illuminated for 30 seconds,
lighting your way to or from the
car. This delay is user-adjustable
on vehicles with optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus and Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM).
HomeLink®.
This optional garage-door opener
is freely programmable and
integrated within the cockpit. It
offers remote control of up to
three garage, gate, home lighting
and/or alarm systems. Compatible
with virtually all garage and gate
systems.
Water-repellent side windows.
The side window glass on both
Cayman models has a highly
effective water-repellent finish. By
rapidly dispersing moisture and
dirt, it ensures optimum visibility
in the wet. (Note: surface finish
requires occasional renewal
depending on vehicle usage.)
Front wipers.
The front wipers have an adjustable
wipe interval, are aerodynamically
designed and park neatly out
of sight when not in use. The
right-hand blade has a bowed
construction enabling maximum
wiper coverage. The windscreen
washer system features two
heated nozzles with integral filter
element. An optional rain sensor
is also available in conjunction
with the auto-dimming interior and
exterior mirrors.
