The Cayman is fit ted with

sheer sportiness and allows
an eye- catching view of the brake

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

depresses the brake pedal
with the lef t foot, the right foot
depresses the accelerator pedal

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,

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.

The GPS navigation system
included with the optional PCM has
an internal hard drive containing
maps for most European countries.
A touchscreen enables rapid
destination input and instant view -

of interest (POIs) by simply allowing
you to touch the symbols on
the map. Route diversions, e.g.
the nearest service stations,
can therefore be incorporated
quickly and easily into the current

As the central control unit
for audio, navigation and
communications, the optional
PCM is multifunctional and
ergonomic to operate.
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
colour touchscreen with a durable,
easy-to - clean coating. Functional,
innovative and easy to use,
you will find the display very

By inserting a SIM card directly
into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using
the hands-free facilit y. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth

be used to make calls through the
SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched

and the phone operates via the
car aerial. Depending on the t ype
of mobile phone, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the
SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. A selection of
mobile phones can be controlled
entirely using PCM, the optional
multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system
without the phone ever leaving
your pocket.
In addition, the telephone
