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.
The optional sports exhaust
system of fers an even more
impressive sound.
Efficiency only takes one route:
