torque PORSCHE CAYMAN S 2010 1.G Information Manual

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.

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

This means, it has been possible
to reduce fuel consumption by
up to 15 % and CO
2 emissions
by up to 16 %, depending on the
t ype of gearbox.
To accept no compromises,

to make conscious decisions, to
be governed by nothing other
than one’s own free will, and to
have a clear point of view. A
highly promising way to build a
sportscar. For us, it ’s the only
w ay. The Cayman S reaches 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in just 5.2 seconds.
Top speed isn’t reached until

172 mph (277 km/ h). Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 48)
is available as an option.
The fastest rate of acceleration
of 4.9 seconds is achieved
in conjunction with the optional
Sport Chrono Package.
In addition to having a higher
power output, the Cayman S
also dif fers from the Cayman in
This philosophy was also the

basis for the development of the
mid-mounted engine with a
3.4-litre capacit y and direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 34). The engine
delivers a power output of
235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm,
and a maximum torque of 370 Nm its appearance. It has a front
spoiler painted in the vehicle’s
exterior colour, and t win

tailpipes in stainless steel. The
sound? Distinctive. In keeping
with the rest of the Cayman S.
But so much power also needs
to be tamed. This is the task of
the enlarged brake system with
four-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers in a striking red
painted finish. To deliver the increased power
output to the road, the Cayman S
is fit ted with 18-inch Cayman S II
wheels. Their design exudes pure
dynamism – as befits the model’s
overall look.
In summary, the Cayman S

is more than just a sportscar.
It ’s a Porsche.
It takes no prisoners,
except for your free will.

on the driving st yle. DFI improves
the internal cooling of the combus -
tion chamber by having the mixture

Direct fuel injection (DFI).
The engine of the Cayman S

has direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, fuel is
injected at up to 120 bar directly
into the combustion chamber by prepared directly in the cylinder.
This allows for a higher compres

to deliver more output along with
enhanced engine ef ficiency.

is shifted individually, as and
when necessary, to protect the
cylinders and pistons at high
engine speeds. The on -board
diagnostics, which are compliant
with European standards, ensure
timely detection of any faults
and defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notif y the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.Engine cooling system.
Our cross-flow cooling system,
as used in motorsport, supplies
each engine cylinder uniformly
with coolant. Valves are thus
protected against overload and
premature wear, which minimises
the engine’s tendency to knock

VarioCam Plus
To improve throt tle response
during the warm -up phase,
VarioCam Plus selects high valve
lif ts with retarded valve timing.
In the middle and low load ranges,
low valve lif ts with advanced
timing reduce fuel consumption
and exhaust emissions. High valve
lif ts generate high torque and
maximum output.Two-stage resonance
intake manifold.
The intake manifold with
double-flow distributor pipe has
an adjustable flap that closes and
opens at defined engine speeds.
As a result of a t wo -stage
resonance ef fect, the air mass in
the intake manifold begins to
oscillate, which in turn generates
a turbocharging ef fect and
optimises induction. These t wo
ef fects combine to produce
higher torque at low engine
speeds, a flat ter torque curve and
increased power output at high
engine speeds, while the acoustic
properties of the system are
second to none. A sound that is
typically Porsche.
VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus combines variable
valve timing with t wo -stage lift
on the inlet side. This results in
smoother running, bet ter fuel
economy and lower exhaust

emissions. As well as greater top-
end power and low- end torque. This two-in-one engine concept
seamlessly adapts in response

to driver input. The result: instant
acceleration and extremely
smooth running.
The variation in intake timing
is steplessly controlled by means
of an electrohydraulic rotary
vane adjuster at the head of the
corresponding camshaf t.

For each exhaust tract, four corre -
sponding oxygen sensors regulate
the composition of the exhaust
gas and monitor the conversion
of pollutants in the cataly tic con -
verters.
A sports exhaust system – for a
more resonant sound – is
available as an option for

each of the Cayman models.
Ignition system.
The ignition system is designed
for static high -voltage distribution.
Individual ignition coils on each
of the spark plugs ensure perfect
ignition every time. The individual
ignition coils are controlled
directly by the engine electronics.
Servicing.
It is a good idea to have your
vehicle serviced regularly, but it
makes just as much sense to keep
the time bet ween maintenance
services as long as possible. Why?
Because a Porsche belongs on
the road, and not in the workshop.
The alternator, power-steering
pump and the air- conditioning
Exhaust system.
The exhaust system – with t win
tailpipes on the Cayman S – is
made of stainless steel. Until it
converges in the connecting tube,
the exhaust gas is channelled
through t wo separate tracts and,
thanks to separate exhaust gas
cleaning systems, the exhaust
gas can flow more freely – for
increased power and torque.
The stereo Lambda control
compressor are all driven by a
single self-adjusting belt. Hydraulic

valve clearance compensation
makes valve clearance adjustment
unnecessary. The drive chains
on the camshaf ts do not normally
require servicing. With the sole
exception of the spark plugs, the
ignition system is also mainte -
nance -free.
Put simply, we don’t expect to
see your Porsche too often.

Sport Chrono Package.
Do you think driving a Porsche
