performance with virtually no
difference in ride comfort.
The impact on driving stability is
extremely profound: pitch and
roll are practically eliminated.
The mechanically locking rear

further enhances the traction of

What does exploring your own
direction actually mean? At
Porsche, it means concentrating
without compromise on what
mat ters: the road. It ’s no won-
der, then, that the body of the
Cayman R has been lowered by
20 mm compared with that of
the Cayman S and the chassis
set-up has been modified
accordingly.
The resulting lightweight spring-
strut suspension has anti - roll
bars front and rear and four bends. It also acts to damp

load change reactions during
fast cornering.
The Cayman R is equipped
as standard with 19 -inch
Boxster Spyder wheels with a
high-quality silver painted finish.
They are lightweight and reduce
unsprung masses, e nsu re
excellent responsiveness and
of fer a high level of agilit y.
If you have belief in your own direction,
you will stay true to your course.

The requirement for our

designers was to turn the
principles of this statement
into something visible, to
give out ward expression to
the car’s strong character.
Exterior.
The Cayman R concept is an
uncompromising statement. It ’s
a statement about not wanting
to please anyone but the driver.
In short, it ’s about a sportscar
that is radical through and
through.
As long as you’re at ease with yourself,
it doesn’t matter what others say.
How? With the purposeful light -
weight design t ypical of any
Porsche. In other words, by

following the tradition that has
existed ever since Porsche
made its first vehicle – Porsche
Intelligent Per formance.

The dynamically designed fixed
spoiler draws at tention to the
powerful rear end. In conjunc-
tion with the distinctive spoiler
lips in the front apron, it reduces
lif t and delivers nothing but
sporty performance.
The Cayman R is not afraid to
show its colours. The exterior


finish is just the start. The
Peridot Metallic standard colour,
for example, is a visible expres -
sion of the car’s uncompromis -
ing individualit y. The ef fect is tangible: a more
direct relationship with the

road. The resulting driving

experience is more electrif ying,
more palpable, more intense.
The rear end also features a
twin tailpipe finished in black
to create its own discernible
contrast. This is the source of
the distinctive Porsche sound,
which is clearly audible to all
around it. After all, if you have
something to say, you should
be heard.A confident demeanour.
With plenty to back it up.

Other elements in a contrasting
colour include the air intakes on
the rear side section, the rear
spoiler wing and the Porsche
logo adorning the side of the
vehicle.

The details.
The exterior mirrors of the
Cayman R are finished in a

contrasting colour to give full
emphasis to the car’s muscular
contouring. Porsche race cars from the

past. Bi-Xenon headlights with
dynamic cornering lights and
daytime running lights are
available as an option.
An indication of the car’s pur -
poseful lightweight construction
is given by the aluminium doors,
which reduce weight by 15 kg. The black painted logo on the
rear lid is the final signature

of the car’s uncompromising
nature.
In summary, the Cayman R sets
clear accents and leaves no
questions unanswered. Exterior
st yling is no exception, and we
find that this suits the Cayman R
very well indeed.

It ’s noticeable as soon as you
get in. The interior colour may
be black, but the centre console
and the decorative trim strip
on the dashboard are finished
in the exterior colour. Are you
looking for a cupholder for your
Interior.
Every so of ten, it does one good
to have a radical sort out, to
refuse to accept comfort in
any shape or form, and to free
oneself from the clutter of senti -
mental items. The Cayman R
reminds you why this feeling is
so good. cof fee? Don’t bother. You won’t
be needing caffeine anyway.No air conditioning system
either. That ’s right. Why? The
weight saving of 12 kg speaks
for itself.
It’s nice when the contents live up to
the promise of the packaging.
