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.
