6,000 rpm. From a standing start,
the Cayman accelerates to 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in 5.8 seconds. With the
optional Porsche Doppel
kupplung
(PDK), this sprint takes just
5.7 seconds. Top speed is 165 mph
(265 km/ h) in conjunction with the
manual gearbox. Equally impressive,
however, is the 10 % reduction in 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 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
allows an eye-catching view of
of gravit y and thus a high degree
of agilit y and an extremely sport y
drive. The six-cylinder horizontally
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 the powerful brake system. And
the interior? The overall impression
is simply one of high qualit y. For
instance, the rims of all available
steering wheels are covered in
smooth -finish leather. The centre
console, finished in traditional
black, is equipped as standard
with the CDR-30 audio system
You should never doubt your own principles.

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

This philosophy was also the
basis for the development of
the mid-mounted engine with a
3.4-litre capacit y and direct fuel

is
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.

Integrated dry-sump lubrication.
The purpose of integrated dry-sump
lubrication is to guarantee a
reliable oil supply while reducing
engine temperatures, even in
sportily driven cars. The oil reser -
voir is located inside the engine.
Four oil pumps remove the oil For the engine, these detailed
solutions mean a consistent
supply of oil regardless of gravita
-
tional loads, even in the most
demanding track conditions.
Lightweight construction.
Both Cayman models are
equipped with alloy engines. The
ingenious design, down to the
finest detail, keeps the weight of
the engines low and therefore
reduces fuel consumption. One of
the ways in which this light weight from the cylinder heads directly

the oil sump directly supplies the
lubricating points in the engine.
To reduce power loss and increase
efficiency, an electronically

controlled oil pump supplies the
lubricating points inside the

by fully integrating the camshaf t
bearings into the cylinder heads.

This means that the oil pump
does not work so hard when there
is less demand for lubrication.

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.

The ignition system is designed
for static high -voltage distribution.

Servicing.
It is a good idea to have your
vehicle serviced regularly, but it
makes just as much sense to keep

Because a Porsche belongs on
the road, and not in the workshop.
The alternator, power-steering

compressor are all driven by a
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

see your Porsche too often.
