Comfort
Cupholders Lockable glove compartment
Storage compartments.
Both Cayman models have a
generous array of ergonomically
positioned storage compartments.
The lockable glove box has a
roomy interior and comes with
integral CD storage (in conjunctionwith either of the optional sound
systems). Generous compartments
can also be found on the centre
console and each of the doors.
On the Cayman S, these compart-
ments have a leather-upholstered
lid. Between the two seats, on the
engine bulkhead, is an additional
Roof transport system.
The optional roof transport system
has been specially designed to
complement the aerodynamics
of the car. With its aluminium
construction and simple fitting
mechanism, it is extremely easy
to install. A range of attachments
can be used with the system,
including a roof box and carriers
for bikes, skis and snowboards.
The system itself requires no
additional preparation on the car.The full range of attachments is
available from Porsche Tequipment
through your local Porsche Centre.
Maximum roof load is 60 kg.
Door storage compartment
4.5 litres of storage space.
Other practical features include
individual cupholders for driver
and passenger. When not in use,
these are neatly concealed within
the dashboard trim strip.

BOSE® Surround Sound System.
The engine and exhaust on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
their own unique sound experience.
For the perfect accompaniment,
choose the lifelike audio of the
optional BOSE
®Surround Sound
System. Jointly developed by
Porsche and BOSE
®, it is perfectly
engineered for the interior
acoustics of both Cayman models.
A total of 10 loudspeakers,
including an active subwoofer with
integral 100-Watt switching amp,
deliver crystal-clear surround
sound output. The lifelike spatial
quality is equally impressive in
either seat position.Powering it all is a seven-channel
MOST
®-based digital amplifier
featuring 5 x 25-Watt linear amps
and a single 100-Watt switching
unit. AudioPilot™ noise compen-
sation technology provides
automatic adjustment of tone and
volume based on current road
speed and ambient noise. The
result is a noticeably clearer and
more consistent sound, with
no need for continuous manual
adjustment.
Active equalisation matches
all sound output to the unique
acoustics of the Cayman and
Cayman S. Covering the entire
frequency spectrum, it delivers
lifelike audio to both seat
positions.
The dynamic loudness function
included with the system is a
more sophisticated alternative to
conventional technologies. By
enhancing the lower frequencies
in low-volume sound, it actively
compensates for the reduced
sensitivity of the human ear at
the lower end of the range.The key system component,
BOSE
®Automotive Surround
Sound, uses independent
channels at front and rear to
create a push-button panorama
of space and sound. The sense
of depth is further enhanced
with the aid of patented BOSE
®
Signal Processing (BSP). Thanks
to Centerpoint™ technology,
even stereo recordings can be
split into five separate channels.
Together, these technologies
provide a breathtaking alternative
to the car’s natural engine
acoustics. Completing the
package is a CD storage system,
conveniently located in the glove
compartment.

Exhaust emission control.
Four-valve cylinder heads and
VarioCam Plus ensure minimal
emissions at source. After leaving
the engine, the gases are cleaned
by a system of four catalytic
converters and four ‘Lambda’ or
oxygen sensors. Controlling it
all with optimum efficiency is
the Motronic ME7.8 engine
management system. Each bank
of cylinders has its own Lambda
circuit, enabling precision
adjustment of the air/fuel mix.
Each exhaust tract has two
Lambda sensors, one upstream
and one downstream of the
primary catalyst.* The resulting
benefits include full compliance
with both the EU4 emissions
standard and ULEV II regulations
in the United States, as well as
excellent fuel economy.
Noise.
The Cayman and Cayman S comply
with all current noise regulations
without any form of engine
encapsulation. To do that, we’ve
eliminated noise at source in
every area of each car. Engine
components are rigid, moving
parts are light, and tolerances
have been reduced to a minimum.
The result is a pure and distinctive
sound – with all the character
you’d expect from a Porsche.
Fuel system.
All fuel lines are made from robust
aluminium, while those carrying
vapours are multi-layer plastic. The
result is a significant reduction in
the evaporation of hydrocarbons.
Materials and recycling.
All structural components,
switchgear and trim are made
from fully recyclable materials.
Better still, it is highly unlikely
that they will ever need recycling
at all. Long-term durability is,
after all, one of the defining
qualities of every Porsche car.
A key objective during the
development process was all-
round weight reduction. This was
achieved using cast aluminium
alloys, synthetic materials and
high-tensile metals. Used correctly,
this blend of materials is both
stronger and lighter than
conventional
steel. As well as
reducing fuel consumption, it
offers positive environmental
benefits.
Approximately 85 % of all com-
ponents can already be recycled
using today’s technology. This
proportion is set to increase as
* Not featured in markets with leaded fuel.The new Cayman and the Cayman S |
Environment
new thermal methods are
introduced. To simplify recycling,
all synthetic components are
clearly labelled in accordance
with the relevant standards.
Both Cayman models are entirely
free of CFCs and components
manufactured with the aid of
these chemicals. Water-based
paints are used throughout each
car, thereby reducing the need
for chemical solvents during the
production process.
Servicing.
Longer service intervals are not
only more convenient for you, they
are also better for the environment.
With the new Cayman and
Cayman S, we have achieved
very modest servicing
requirements: engine oil every
20,000 miles (or two years),
oil filter every 20,000 miles, air
filter every 40,000 miles, spark
plugs every 60,000 miles (or
four years), and brake fluid every
two years.
In addition to the obvious
environmental benefits, the
advantage for you is two-fold: a
lower cost of ownership throughout
the life of the car, and more time
spent on the road. Based on
mileage alone, the new Cayman
models require just three stops
for servicing every 60,000 miles,
or one service every two years.

PersonalisationWhen we began designing the
Cayman model range, there was
one thing we couldn’t include:
your own personal touch. To help
you add that vital ingredient,
we’ve prepared a comprehensiverange of options. Together, they
offer enormous scope for
personalising your Porsche. You
can use them to express your
individuality and style in every
area of the car. From colour
combinations and interior
materials to a custom-engineered
sound system. Whatever you
choose to include in your
specification, the result is
uniquely yours.
