For us, that’s something of a tradition.
The new Cayman and the Cayman S.
Achieving that level of vehicle
response requires careful
consideration. It takes many
years of continuous evolution to
arrive at each new revolutionary
development.The new Cayman and the Cayman S
are pure, direct and involving. They
also exude a familiar Porsche
character more than five decades
in the making.
The new Cayman and the Cayman S |The Cayman
The key to that character, as on
every Porsche, is the underlying
vehicle concept. This unique
combination of mid-mounted engine
and hard-roof body was originally
prototyped in 1953 on the
Porsche
550 coupé. A closed-top
version of the legendary 550
Spyder, it was specially developed
for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Now we’ve combined this race-
winning concept with more than
five decades of road and race
experience. The result: the new
Cayman and the Cayman S.
Each is powered by a free-revving,
high-torque, mid-mounted engine
with a low-lying centre of gravity.
The new Cayman has a 2.7-litre
flat-six unit developing 180 kW
(245 bhp) and 273 Nm of torque.
The Cayman S produces 217 kW
(295 bhp) and 340 Nm from a
displacement of 3.4 litres. Both
cars deliver maximum torque from
surprisingly low engine speeds.Powerful acceleration is instantly
available, in every situation.
The respective top speeds are
258 km / h (160 mph) on the
new Cayman and 275 km / h
(171 mph) on the Cayman S.
Each car has an elegant and
purposeful exterior design,
offering more than just visual
appeal. The coupé body is
aerodynamically refined, producing
a drag coefficient of just 0.29
(Cayman S with Tiptronic S: 0.30).
The monocoque shell has
additional benefits in terms of
torsional and flexural strength.
This in turn promotes greater
agility and positive driving
dynamics.
The precision handling is a
direct result of uncompromising
chassis engineering. The
standard suspension offers agile
performance as well as excellent
long-distance comfort. The front
and rear axles feature McPherson-
strut suspension, a wide track
and generous wheel dimensions.
Combining it all is the most
important factor: the overall
suspension setup. Stable and
responsive, it is, of course,
balanced with appropriate levels
of comfort.
Matching the suspension in
terms of agility and safety are
the standard Porsche Stability
Management (PSM – see page
64) and the variable-ratio steering
system. Together, they enhance
your involvement with the car,
offering almost surgical precision
on turn-in to a corner and
increased safety in critical
scenarios.
For even greater performance
and occupant comfort, there’s
the optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM –
see page 52). This 10-mm
lowered variable suspension
system provides active control
of the damping force on each
wheel based on changing road
conditions, individual driving style
and the selected setup mode
(‘Normal’ or ‘Sport’).
