The results are impressive
per formance figures, extremely
smooth running, optimised
gas cycles and tremendous
cornering agilit y with low fuel
consumption and emissions.
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.

shock absorbers tuned for
firm rebound and compression
to provide improved dynamic
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
dif ferential, fit ted as standard,
further enhances the traction of
the driven rear wheels on road
sur faces with var ying grip and
when accelerating out of tight
Chassis.
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.
