The Cayman R.How exactly do you refine an
existing sportscar concept? Do
you add one thing af ter another,
piling more on top, and packing
more in?
Many would think so, but we
don’t.
The result is the new

The result? No radio. No air con-

Cayman R concept.
A rebellious character knows
exactly what it wants. Our
engineers adopted the same
attitude when developing the
Cayman R. One thing was clear:
it should be uncompromising,
sharper and more radical than
ever before. To achieve this,
any thing was acceptable as long
as it would ultimately benefit wheels, sports bucket seats,
and 330 hp. In short, 55 kg

less and 10 hp more than the
Cayman S.
The body has been lowered
by 20 mm, and a retuned
sports suspension provides
uncompromising proximit y to
the road.
The Cayman R reflects the
radical rejection of the pursuit of
comfort. It ’s a character that is
not influenced by the opinion of
others; and that is exactly what
makes it so at tractive.
Do you prefer to follow the crowd,
or decide your own journey?

The reason? An intelligent mid-
engine concept which, owing
to the concentration of weight
close to the centre of the vehicle,
gave it enormous agilit y,
excellent cornering dynamics
and a low centre of gravit y.
Reason enough, then, to go
back to these old values.
The result today is a pure-bred
sportscar with a mid - mounted
engine, delivering uniform weight

Drive system.
How can one satisfy an insatiable
urge for increased performance?
There are many ways. We take
the intelligent route, which
has been the common theme
at Porsche for over 60 years.
For Porsche, at least, simply
increasing engine output is not
enough. Improved dynamics
are not achieved by increased
output alone, but by a harmonious
balance of low weight – for
excellent agilit y – and high engine
power – for outstanding perfor -
mance. In other words, by an
optimum power-to-weight ratio.
The Cayman R is 55 kg lighter
and 10 hp more power ful than
the Cayman S. This has made it possible to achieve a power-to -
weight ratio of less than 4 kg/hp.
The light-alloy 3.4-litre horizon -
tally opposed cylinder engine
produces 243 kW (330 hp) at
7,400 rpm. Maximum torque is
370 Nm at 4,750 rpm. At the rear end, the exhaust
system with its t win tailpipe in
black has the last sport y word.

impressive sound.

The Cayman R responds to
ever y touch of the accelerator
pedal with radical for ward
thrust. Acceleration from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/ h) is completed
in just 5 seconds, 0.2 seconds
faster than the Cayman S.
The engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI) as standard.

Fuel is injected at up to 120 bar
directly into the combustion
chamber with millisecond preci -
sion by means of electromag -
netically actuated injection
valves. The injection spray and
cone angles are tuned for the
optimum fuel/air mixture and
effective combustion. The top speed is 175 mph

(282 km/ h). In conjunction with
the dif ferential lock fit ted as
standard, the precise six-speed
manual gearbox delivers out -
standing traction directly to the
road.
Available as an option is Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), for
gear changes that take place in
milliseconds with no interrup -
tion in the flow of power. With PDK, the Cayman R completes
the sprint from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in only 4.9 seconds.
Also available is the optional
Sport Chrono Package which,
when combined with Porsche
Doppelkupplung, offers the
‘Launch Control’ function to
improve acceleration by a
further 0.2 seconds.
