Mechanically locking rear
differential.
Are you a fan of sport y driving? In
your spare time, do you enjoy the
occasional outing on the racetrack?
Then you shouldn’t do without the
optional mechanically locking rear
differential available in conjunction
with 18-inch or 19-inch wheels.
It further enhances the traction of
the driven rear wheels on uneven
roads and when accelerating out of
tight bends, and the damping of
load-change reactions during
fast cornering is reduced. Road
holding at the limits of perform -
ance is even more impressive. The
car holds its course bet ter and so
PSM intervenes less often.
In other words, sheer driving
pleasure and faster lap times.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
The optional PASM is an electronic
damping control system.
PASM actively and continuously
regulates the damping force
for each wheel according to the
road conditions and driving
st yle. In addition, the suspension
is lowered by 10 mm.
The driver can select bet ween
t wo dif ferent modes: ‘Normal’
which is a blend of performance
and comfort, and ‘Sport ’
where the setup is much firmer.
Depending on the mode selected,
therefore, PASM is sportier
or more comfortable than the
standard chassis. The PASM
control unit evaluates the driving
conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of
the wheels in accordance with
the selected mode. Sensors monitor the movement
of the vehicle body, for example,
under heav y acceleration and
braking or on uneven roads. The
control unit tunes the dampers
to the optimum hardness for the
selected mode to reduce roll and
pitch still further and to increase
contact bet ween each individual
wheel and the road.
In ‘Sport ’ mode, the suspension
is set to a harder damper rating.
On uneven roads, PASM immedi -
ately switches to a softer rating
within the ‘Sport ’ setup range,
thereby improving contact
bet ween the wheels and the road.
When the road surface improves,
PASM automatically reverts
to the original, harder rating.
If ‘Normal’ mode is selected and
the driver’s st yle becomes more
assertive, PASM automatically
switches to a harder rating
within the ‘Normal’ setup range.
Damping becomes harder, and
driving stabilit y and road safet y
are increased.

high -level third brake light is

in the taillights, brake lights and
rear fog light to provide bet ter
illumination and respond more
quickly to driver input.
Bi-Xenon headlights with
dynamic cornering lights and
LED daytime running lights.
Available as an option for the
Cayman models are Bi-Xenon
headlights including dynamic
cornering lights and LED day time
running lights. Bi-Xenon headlights
are around t wice as powerful as
halogen headlights so they of fer
improved visibilit y and illuminate
the road more evenly. In fact, they
are so ef fective that fog lights are
no longer necessary. A headlight
cleaning system is built-in.
Dynamic cornering lights of fer
particularly effective illumination
of the road ahead, particularly
through bends. Sensors continu -
ously monitor the speed, lateral
acceleration and steering
lock and, from these variables,
calculate the course of the bend.
This determines the angle of
the dynamic cornering lights, with
the lights able to swivel towards
the inside of the bend up to a
limit of 15 degrees, even with the
main beam switched on.Active safety.
Active safet y is a topic that
Porsche actively supports. With
generous safet y margins, even
the suspension tuning makes a
decisive contribution. Optimum
acceleration enables rapid
overtaking and optimum braking
minimises stopping distances.
Safe contact with the road is
provided not only by the wheel/
t yre combination but also by the auto - deploying bi-plane rear
spoiler and aerodynamic front end.
Another important standard
safet y feature is Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 72).
See and be seen. This is a
slogan that t ypifies the headlights
concept. The design is unmistak -
able, the brightness unmissable.
The halogen headlights with LED
position lights in the front light unit
ensure clear visibilit y at all times.
