6,000 rpm. From a standing start,
the Cayman accelerates to
62 mph (100 km/ h) in 5.8 seconds.
With the optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), this sprint
takes just 5.7 seconds. Top
speed is 165 mph (265 km/ h)
in conjunction with the manual
gearbox. Equally impressive, with the CDR-30 audio system

with 5-inch display. An integrated
six- disc CD autochanger is
available as an option.
The Cayman has found its way.
Its own? Without doubt.
The Cayman is the driving force
behind precisely one at titude:

the absolute conviction to remain
true to oneself. No middle roads.
No compromises. No nonsense.
One of the features that exempli -
fies this at titude is the mid- engine
layout, which ensures a low centre however, is the 10
% reduction in
fuel consumption and the 12 %
reduction in CO2 em issio ns,
depending on the t ype of gearbox.
The power of the engine is deliv -
ered to the road by a precision
six-speed manual gearbox. Fit ted
as standard are 17-inch wheels
with a star-shaped design, which

opposed power unit has a capacit y
of 2.9 litres. The engine delivers a
power output of 195 kW
(265 hp)
at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm.
A maximum torque of 300 Nm
is achieved bet ween 4,400 and allows an eye-catching view of

the powerful brake system. And

struts, front and rear. The spring
and damper unit and the anti-roll
bar unit have been tuned for
exceptional driving dynamics
combined with a high level of
driving comfort. For Porsche, that
is not a contradiction. During Driving stabilit y is excellent, even
in the event of considerable load
changes – thanks not least to

the vehicle’s generous track width.
High levels of safet y and a consist -
ently dynamic driving experience
are the result.Chassis.
The Cayman models follow a
clear line. Their own. Even when it
comes to the chassis. The driver’s
connection to the road is an
essential priorit y at all times, fast lane changes and through
tight corners, this chassis is in its
element. Thanks to the mid- engine
layout and the construction of

the bodyshell, roll and pitch are
practically eliminated. The chassis
responds with absolute precision
along with the delivery of the
engine’s power.
For this reason, the Cayman

models are equipped with
a light weight suspension with
transverse links and spring to acceleration and braking. The
light weight construction keeps
the vehicle gross weight and the
weight of the unsprung masses
low. Virtually all moving axle parts
are made of aluminium.
An expression of agility on the road
that is bound to leave you open-mouthed.

can be set to standby while the
car is still in ‘Sport ’ mode (p. 72).
For safet y, it is set to intervene
automatically only when ABS
assistance is required on both
front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package is the swivel-
mounted stopwatch in the centre
of the dashboard with analogue
and digital display.
In combination with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Sport
Chrono Package offers t wo addi -
tional functions that are activated
by the SPORT PLUS but ton.
First, ‘Launch Control’, which
ensures you achieve the fastest
possible rate of acceleration from
a standing start – on the racetrack,
for example. ‘Launch Control’ is

operated via the SPORT PLUS
but ton with the ‘D’ or ‘M’ drive
position selected. Whilst the driver
depresses the brake pedal
with the lef t foot, the right foot
depresses the accelerator pedal
to the floor. With the accelerator
in the kickdown position, the

The shif t times are shorter, the
gear changes sportier. At low
rates of deceleration, the system
initiates a swif ter, brake-induced
downshift. In manual mode,

gear changes are faster and more
dynamic. In ‘Sport ’ mode, the
PSM system (p. 72) intervenes
later for increased longitudinal and
lateral dynamics. PSM now af fords
greater manoeuvrabilit y under
braking and exit acceleration,
especially at low speeds.
Sport Chrono Package.
Do you think driving a Porsche
should be an even more involving
experience than it is already? Your
wish is our command. On request,
we can equip your vehicle with the
Sport Chrono Package, which is
available for both of the Cayman
models. Its functions enable even
sportier tuning of the engine and
chassis and guarantee even more
driving pleasure.
Selecting the SPORT but ton
on the centre console activates ‘Sport ’ mode, which makes
throt tle response significantly
more immediate, adjusts the
rev-limiter to a harder set ting,

and tunes the engine dynamics
for performance driving.
The optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM)
also switches to ‘Sport ’ mode,
which of fers harder damping
and more direct steering and,
therefore, bet ter road holding.
With the optional PDK in automatic
mode, gearshif t points are system detects the driver’s
request for Launch mode and revs
the engine to an optimum speed
of approximately 6,500 rpm.
Engine torque increases and the
clutch closes slightly. The message
‘Launch Control’ appears on
the display on the steering wheel
for PDK. The driver now quickly
releases the brake – and prepares
for maximum acceleration.
Second, the ‘motorsport- derived
gearshif t strategy’. Using this, PDK
is geared up for maximum shif t
speed, the shortest possible shif t
times and optimum shif t points
for maximum acceleration – for
uncompromising performance.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
On request, the optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) can be combined
with the Sport Chrono Package
Plus. In addition to the functions
of the Sport Chrono Package,
it includes a personal memory
function, which can be controlled
using PCM, and a performance
display for evaluating lap times.

it is automatically reactivated for
your safet y if either of the front
wheels (in ‘Sport ’ mode, both
of the front wheels) requires ABS
assistance. ABD remains perma -
nently active. Two additional
functions of PSM increase safet y
even further: precharging of the
brake system, and brake assist.
If you suddenly release the accel -
erator pedal, PSM automatically
readies the braking system. With
the braking system having been
precharged, the brake pads are
already in light contact with the
brake discs. Maximum braking
power is therefore achieved much rigidit y of the car. The forces
exerted in a frontal collision are

along a higher load path (4),

which improves the deformation
characteristics of the passenger
cell even further.Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
PSM, which comes as standard, is
an automatic control system that
stabilises the vehicle at the limits
of dynamic driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor
driving direction, speed, yaw veloc-
it y and lateral acceleration. Using
this information, PSM computes the
actual direction of motion. If this
direction deviates from the desired
course, PSM initiates braking
interventions targeted at individual
wheels in order to stabilise the
vehicle.
sooner. When sudden braking is
detected, the brake assist function
applies maximum brake pressure
to all four wheels.
Passive safety:
engineered design.
The system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front
of the vehicle (1) distributes the
Under acceleration on wet or
low-grip road surfaces, PSM
improves traction using the ABD
(automatic brake differential)
and ASR (anti-slip regulation)
functions, giving an agile
response. When ‘Sport ’ mode is
selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Packages (p. 62), the PSM
intervention threshold is raised to
enable greater driver involvement
– particularly at speeds of up to
approximately 70 km/ h (45 mph).
The integrated ABS can further
reduce the braking distance.
For an even sportier drive, PSM
can be deactivated. However, forces exerted onto the bodyshell
in the event of an impact
and minimises deformation of

the passenger cell. Our patented
body work structure with a rigid
bulkhead cross member (2) made
of ultra high -strength steel
absorbs the forces introduced
into the system of longitudinal
members which prevents deforma -
tion of the foot well. The reinforced
doors (3) contribute to the overall

Noise.
The Cayman models comply with
all applicable noise regulations
without any form of engine encap-
sulation. To achieve this, noises
are eliminated at source. Engine
parts are stif f, moving parts are
light weight and tolerances are
kept to a minimum. Large-volume
silencers and resonators in the
air intake system minimise noise
further. For the entire service life
of the vehicle.
Servicing.
Long service intervals of fer
clear advantages. For you: lower
costs and saved time. For the
environment: the use of fewer
consumables and replacement
parts. For full details of service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.
Fuel economy and recycling.
At Porsche, a fundamental aspect
of design is intelligent light weight
construction. For both economical
and ecological reasons. This
forms the basis for low fuel con -
sumption values in conjunction
with outstanding performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of aluminium cast
alloys, plastics and super high-
strength sheet steel used. This
is substantially lighter and more
stable than conventional steel. In
the Cayman models approximately
20 % of components are made
from light weight alloys. We use
only innovative and environmen -
tally friendly components,
and each material is labelled to
facilitate its separation for
recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet exacting
technical requirements. In all, the
Cayman models are approximately
95 % recyclable. In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints. The Cayman is
absolutely free of asbestos, CFCs
and components manufactured
using CFCs. This is because,

here at Porsche, environmental
protection does not begin at
the end of a vehicle’s life. It starts
at the planning and development
stage.
Fuel.
The Cayman models are already
designed to operate on fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %.
Ethanol has a positive impact on
the CO
2 balance since the plants
cultivated for the production of
this biofuel also absorb CO
2 from
the atmosphere.
The active carbon filter and
a special coating on the fuel tank
reduce the amount of hydrocar -
bons released from the fuel
system. All fuel lines are made of
aluminium, while vapour- carrying
lines are made from multi-layered
plastic.
