Safety
Power is only one aspect of performance.
It is nothing without control.
Safety in the Cayman and Cayman S.
Active safety.
Active safety is an integral part of
every new Porsche design. Each
new vehicle concept incorporates
systems and components which
are developed with one aim in
mind: total safety for you and your
passengers.The suspension and steering – the
basic platform of the car – have a decisive role to play. On the
Cayman and Cayman S, they offer
generous reserves of safety,
even at racetrack speeds. Equally
important are the reserves
of power, which enable rapid
overtaking manoeuvres. Bringing
Night-time driving is equally
assured thanks to a highly
effective front and rear lighting
concept. The low front foglights
offer excellent illumination,
precisely where you need it most.
A high-level third brake light is
neatly integrated at the base of
the large rear screen. In addition
to the obvious safety benefits,
the front and rear lighting on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
a unique ‘night design’.
Bi-Xenon lighting system with
headlight cleaning.
This optional headlight system
offers greater light output in
low-beam mode, improved
illumination up to the light/dark
border, better lateral visibility and
reduced driver fatigue thanks
to a higher colour temperature.
A dynamic headlight levelling
function raises and lowers the
angle of each light to compensate
for changes in the attitude of the
car under braking and acceleration.

it all swiftly and securely to a
halt is a powerful standard braking
system.
Downforce is provided by a bi-plane
rear spoiler and aerodynamic front
end. Another important standard
safety feature is Porsche Stability
Management (PSM – see page 64).

Load-carrying capability.
The Cayman and Cayman S are
purposefully designed to make
every journey a pleasure. Not
only when enjoying each car for
its own sake, but whatever your
destination. Suddenly, even a trip
to the shops takes on a whole
new level of appeal. You’ll also
find yourself ideally prepared for
all kinds of leisure activity. From
diving in the ocean to trekking
in the hills, both Cayman models
have the carrying capacity for
everything you need.
The generous load concept
includes two luggage compart-
ments, a wide range of interior
storage, and an optional roof
transport system. As a result,
the Cayman and Cayman S are
both eminently practical and
consistently enjoyable, whatever
the reason for your journey.
Front luggage compartment.
The front luggage compartment is
carpet-lined and offers 150 litres
of loadspace. A covered nicheprovides a secure location for the
navigation DVD drive (included
with optional navigation system)
and the optional CD autochanger.
Rear luggage compartment.
The rear compartment beneath
the soft-lined hatch can also
be loaded from inside the car.
Fully carpeted, it comprises two
storage areas: a flat surface
on the engine cover and a main
luggage area to the rear. This
arrangement enables easy loading
of longer items of luggage.
The rear luggage area is both
generously proportioned –
totalling 260 litres – and elegantly
matched to the rest of the car.
As an optional enhancement, you
can apply your chosen exterior
colour to the panels surrounding
the engine cover and the integral
strut tower mouldings
(see InteriorDesign package).
A retaining rail at the front of the
engine cover helps to secure
any luggage under braking. This
can be augmented by an optional
full-size partition which installs
Front luggage compartmentLuggage partition
immediately behind the seats.
Smaller items can be secured
on top of the engine cover using
a luggage net with four lashing
eyelets. A stainless steel ‘bridge’
provides an elegant transition
to the lower rear luggage area.
This compartment is designed
for larger items of luggage and
also has four lashing eyelets.
Another useful feature in the rear
compartment is the covered
service opening with filler tubes
for coolant and oil.
