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 sports steering wheel or
the new optional SportDesign
steering wheel with gearshift
paddles with race track control
logic. The gear change takes
place in a mat ter of milliseconds
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.

the Cayman accelerates to 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in 5.8 seconds. With the
optional Porsche Doppel

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

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

instance, the rims of all available

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

the enlarged brake system with
four-piston aluminium monobloc

dynamism – as befits the model’s

In summary, the Cayman S

is more than just a sportscar.

Integrated dry-sump lubrication.
The purpose of integrated dry-sump
lubrication is to guarantee a

Both Cayman models are
equipped with alloy engines. 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
