The handling of the car is even
more alert when fitted with the
optional Sport Chrono Package
(see page 54). This exclusive
performance upgrade includes
a dashboard-mounted analogue
and digital timer unit. When ‘Sport’
mode is selected, the engine
and chassis are seamlessly
switched to a more direct and
positive setup. The throttle is
more responsive, PSM (see page
64) inputs are reduced, and the
optional PASM (see page 52) is
also switched to its firmer ‘Sport’
mode settings.On vehicles with optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM – see page 86), the system
can be upgraded to the Sport
Chrono Package Plus (see page
55). Additional features include
a performance display in PCM
and a personal memory function.
Occupant protection is matched
to performance using a system of highly robust side and cross
members which absorb impact
energy in a safe and calculated
manner. Standard safety features
include full-size front airbags andPorsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP – see page 66). The POSIP
package features separate head
and thorax airbags as well as
side-impact protection beams.
The lightly domed roof creates
a bright and spacious interior.
The passenger compartment is
ergonomically designed with a
range of high-quality materials.
The cockpit area is precisely as
you would expect – exclusively
created for driving. The steering
wheel is adjustable for height and
reach, while all major controls
The new Cayman and the Cayman S |The Cayman
are logically arranged within easy
reach of the driver.
The standard seats offer excellent
comfort and lateral support. You
can also choose from a range
of optional alternatives, including
pneumatically adjustable adaptive
sports seats (see pages 74/75).
The coupé body on both the
Cayman and Cayman S unites
style with practicality. Beneath therear lid with large glass screen
is a generously proportioned
luggage compartment featuring
two main storage areas. Offering
260 litres of loadspace, it is joined
by a further 150 litres at the
front, making 410 litres in total.
Equally generous is the quality of
sound from the standard CDR-24
audio system. Optional additions
include the Sound Package Plus
which provides enhanced acoustic
performance. For perfect in-car
audio, there’s the BOSE
®Surround
Sound System (see page 84),
offering concert-hall quality through
a total of 10 loudspeakers.
In summary, each car provides a
unique combination of everyday
practicality, exceptional active
safety and uncompromising,
dynamic performance. These
apparent contradictions are
successfully reconciled within a
proven and elegant vehicle
concept that is perfectly realised
on the road.

on the new Cayman have a black
background, while those on the
Cayman S have an aluminium-

backlight illumination. An integral
light sensor automatically adjuststhe degree of illumination to match
the ambient light conditions.
The dials provide a continuous
overview of all key information,
including external temperature,
time, trip odometer, total odometer

access to audio, navigation and
– if fitted – telephone functions
(only in conjunction with PCM).
