Brake (PCCB).
On request, we can equip your
Cayman S with a brake system
that has already had to cope
with the harshest requirements of
motorsport: the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB). The
ceramic brake discs have a diam -
eter of 350 mm front and rear –
for extremely powerful braking. All the necessary ingredients are
there for a short braking distance,
even in the toughest conditions.
Moreover, safet y under braking

at high speeds is increased thanks
to the excellent fade resistance
of PCCB.
The key advantage of PCCB is that
the brake discs are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs
of similar design and size. A factor
The brake discs are formed from

a specially treated carbon -fibre
compound that is silicated in a
high-vacuum process at approxi -
mately 1,700 °C. Not only are the
resulting discs much harder than
standard discs, they are more
resistant to heat. The low thermal
expansion of the brake discs
prevents deformation under heav y
braking. Furthermore, the ceramic
brake discs are totally resistant to that helps to reduce unsprung and
rotating masses on the vehicle.
The consequence of this is bet ter
road holding and increased

comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y
and improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing,
trackday use and other forms
of performance driving can
significantly reduce the service life

it is automatically reactivated for
your safet y if either of the front
wheels (in ‘Sport ’ mode, both
of the front wheels) requires ABS
assistance. ABD remains perma -
nently active. Two additional
functions of PSM increase safet y
even further: precharging of the
brake system, and brake assist.
If you suddenly release the accel -
erator pedal, PSM automatically
readies the braking system. With
the braking system having been
precharged, the brake pads are
already in light contact with the
brake discs. Maximum braking
power is therefore achieved much rigidit y of the car. The forces

which improves the deformation

(PSM).
PSM, which comes as standard, is
an automatic control system that
stabilises the vehicle at the limits
of dynamic driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor
driving direction, speed, yaw veloc-
it y and lateral acceleration. Using
this information, PSM computes the
actual direction of motion. If this
direction deviates from the desired
course, PSM initiates braking
interventions targeted at individual
wheels in order to stabilise the
vehicle.

detected, the brake assist function
applies maximum brake pressure
to all four wheels.

transverse members at the front

Under acceleration on wet or

improves traction using the ABD

functions, giving an agile
response. When ‘Sport ’ mode is
selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Packages (p. 62), the PSM
intervention threshold is raised to
enable greater driver involvement
– particularly at speeds of up to
approximately 70 km/ h (45 mph).
The integrated ABS can further
reduce the braking distance.
For an even sportier drive, PSM

It’s not only technology that can be forward-looking.
Attitudes can be, too.
The Cayman models exude
character. They are strong-willed,
unyielding, but never disagreeable.
It shows in their at titude, especially
towards the environment. Resolute compliance with

environmental regulations is the
law they follow. As do all Porsche
models. Because efficiency,
too, is a question of character.

Top marks for cleanliness.
1) Not in markets with leaded fuel.
In short, the Cayman is not only
extremely sport y, it is also very
clean.
This at tribute is achieved by
means of a t wo -stage cascade-
t ype cataly tic converter
which comprises t wo monolith
substrates on each of the t win
exhaust tracts. These specially
coated substrates contain
ultra-fine honeycomb channels in
which pollutants are converted
as exhaust gas passes through.
The stereo Lambda control
circuitry controls and monitors
each cylinder bank separately,
while another Lambda sensor
on each cylinder bank monitors
pollutant conversion in the respec -
tive cataly tic converter (p. 44).

In an era of intensif ying debate
about global climate change and
CO
2 emissions, every automotive
manufacturer is asking itself
what it has to of fer in terms
of environmental protection. Our
answer has long been the same:
maximum ef ficiency.
Over the last 15 years, Porsche
has managed to reduce the
fuel consumption of its vehicles
by an average of 1.7 % each year.
Improvements in fuel economy
also have a beneficial impact
on CO
2 emissions. In relation to
power output (g / km per hp),
Porsche is already among those
manufacturers achieving the
lowest CO
2 emissions. This has
been achieved through an ef ficient
drive concept (DFI), light weight
construction, optimum aerody -
namics and low rolling resistance. This high level of environmental
responsibilit y is clearly demon
-
strated by our approach to
environmental management at the
Porsche development centre in
Weissach. Here, all technological
developments are carried out
with environmental protection in
mind. The goal? Pure perform -
ance – but not at the expense of
the environment. A goal achieved
by the Cayman models.
Exhaust emission control.
Both engines comply with stringent
emission standards, including Euro 5
in Europe and LEV II/ ULEV in
the USA. Vehicles manufactured
by Porsche demonstrate that even
high -performance sportscars
can achieve moderate emission
values in their respective category.
