14 The new Cayman models |
Design
(dual-tube on the Cayman S) adds the
powerful finishing touch.
Compared with the previous model, the
wheelbase of the new Cayman has been
extended by 60 mm, the wheels are larger
Retracted, the spoiler separation edge
of the rear wing makes a seamless transi -
tion to the LED taillights. The integrated
direction indicators are narrow and in
line with the wing. The rear apron with
centrally framed stainless-steel tailpipe and the silhouet te is sleeker. The result is
a more dynamic effect on the eye –
and on the road. The side windows are

narrow. If you wish, you can highlight their
contours with the optional trim strips
in a high-gloss finish. The forward-shifted windscreen coupled with the roofline that
extends far into the rear accentuate the
taut appearance of the exterior design.
The exterior mirrors are mounted directly
on the doors for impressive aerodynamics
and low wind noise. Air intake channels,
wheel arches and the roof are clearly

accentuated. The design of the doors gives
emphasis to the Cayman profile and the dynamic contouring improves airflow

to the side air intakes for the purpose
of cooling and supplying oxygen to this
athlete’s beating heart: the boxer engine.
Where the new Cayman models want
to go is clear at first glance. Every line
and every technical detail is focused

in one direction: forwards. Every aspect
tells a story – of character and perfor -
mance.

VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept for adjusting the intake cam-
shafts and switching the lift of the intake
valves.
The system first dif ferentiates bet ween
driver inputs that typify normal, everyday
driving and those inputs that demand
maximum performance. The electronic
engine management system then imper -
ceptibly adapts valve operation to
the prevailing conditions. This results
in instant acceleration and extremely

smooth running.
In short, VarioCam Plus provides excellent
acceleration power with comparatively
low fuel consumption.
Integrated dry-sump lubrication.
Integrated dr y-sump lubrication ensures
a reliable supply of oil even when a
sport y driving st yle is adopted and the
vehicle is experiencing powerful lateral

acceleration. It also has additional cool -
ing functions.
The oil tank is located in the engine,
thereby eliminating the need for an exter -
nal oil tank and saving space and weight.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to page 131.
To reduce power losses and increase
ef ficiency, an electronically controlled oil
pump supplies the lubricating points
inside the engine as and when required.
It optimises the supply of oil, improves
fuel economy and thereby reduces emis -
sion levels.

Storage compartments.
You could make an escape from every
-
day life or you could fully embrace it.
The choice is yours. It ’s also a lit tle
example of the personal freedom that
the new Cayman models afford you –

not only with performance, but also with
everyday practicalit y. In addition to the
luggage compartment at the front, the luggage space under the wide-opening
rear hatch is impressively roomy.
The lockable glove compartment and

the compartment with a power socket

provide plent y of space. As does the
open compartment to the front of it. In
conjunction with the smoking package,
the open compartment makes way for
an ashtray with a lid. Other storage
features include two compartments in
each door, a net in the passenger foot -
well,
clothes hooks on the seat backrests
and two practical cupholders above the
glove compartment.
