Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK,
p. 48) is available as an option.
The key elements of PDK are its
seven gears, t wo half gearboxes
and t wo clutches. It features both
manual and automatic modes.
Gears are changed using the gear
selector for PDK, the switches
on the three-spoke sports steering
wheel or the new optional three-
spoke sports steering wheel with
gearshif t paddles with race track
control logic. The gear change
takes place in a mat ter of millisec -
onds without any interruption in
the flow of power. The advantage
over a fully manual transmission
is the considerably faster rate of
acceleration for the same rate of
fuel consumption. The advantage
over a fully automatic transmission
is the perceptible increase in
driving dynamics – with a similar
level of comfort, and a distinct
reduction in fuel consumption.
Two dif ferent characters. One
personalit y. Their drive for power
is impressive, their spirited nature
fascinating. Two sports coupés
that go beyond all conventions.
Two cars that draw their drivers
under their spell, forever.
The concept behind the Cayman
models is the ‘Le Mans Coupé’,
a sports coupé designed in 1953
specifically for this legendary
race and based on the 550
Spyder. Its mid- engine layout is
what made this car special. The
car’s low centre of gravit y gave it
tremendous agilit y and cornering
dynamics. From this one basic
idea came great success, and
with this success our experience
grew. The result? Two sophisticated
sportscars. The Cayman and the
Cayman S.
Their uncompromising perform -
ance is generated by t wo engine
developments, which stand
out above all for their light weight construction, power output
and ef ficiency. The Cayman has
a 2.9 -litre flat-six engine with a
power output of 195 kW (265 hp).
Even more impressive are the per -
formance values of the Cayman S
with direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34).
The fuel/air mixture is prepared
entirely in the combustion chamber
af ter having been metered and
injected directly, with millisecond
precision. This means even more
power and torque. To express
this in figures, its 3.4-litre flat-
six engine unleashes a might y
235 kW (320 hp). Depending on
the model, it has been possible
to reduce fuel consumption by
up to 15 % and CO
2 emissions by
up to 16 %.
In either model, this tremendous
power is delivered to the road
by a precision six-speed manual
gearbox.
The primary target group:
your central nervous system.
The Cayman models.

For maximum dexterit y, PSM
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
delayed until the upper rev range.
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.

every track event.Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
On request, we can equip your
Cayman S with a brake system
that has already had to cope
with the harshest requirements of
motorsport: the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB). The
ceramic brake discs have a diam -
eter of 350 mm front and rear –
for extremely powerful braking. All the necessary ingredients are
there for a short braking distance,
even in the toughest conditions.
Moreover, safet y under braking
at high speeds is increased thanks
to the excellent fade resistance
of PCCB.
The key advantage of PCCB is that
the brake discs are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs
of similar design and size. A factor
The brake discs are formed from
a specially treated carbon -fibre
compound that is silicated in a
high-vacuum process at approxi -
mately 1,700 °C. Not only are the
resulting discs much harder than
standard discs, they are more
resistant to heat. The low thermal
expansion of the brake discs
prevents deformation under heav y
braking. Furthermore, the ceramic
brake discs are totally resistant to that helps to reduce unsprung and
rotating masses on the vehicle.
The consequence of this is bet ter
road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y
and improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing,
trackday use and other forms
of performance driving can
significantly reduce the service life
