Integrated dry-sump lubrication.
The purpose of integrated dry-sump
lubrication is to guarantee a
reliable oil supply while reducing
engine temperatures, even in
sportily driven cars. The oil reser -
voir is located inside the engine.
Four oil pumps remove the oil For the engine, these detailed
solutions mean a consistent
supply of oil regardless of gravita -
tional loads, even in the most
demanding track conditions.
Lightweight construction.
Both Cayman models are
equipped with alloy engines. The
ingenious design, down to the
finest detail, keeps the weight of
the engines low and therefore
reduces fuel consumption. One of
the ways in which this light weight from the cylinder heads directly
into the oil sump. A fif th pump in
the oil sump directly supplies the
lubricating points in the engine.
To reduce power loss and increase
efficiency, an electronically
controlled oil pump supplies the
lubricating points inside the
construction was achieved was
by fully integrating the camshaf t
bearings into the cylinder heads.
engine as and when required.
This means that the oil pump
does not work so hard when there
is less demand for lubrication.
The benefits of this oil supply
system include optimum efficiency
combined with a reduction in
both fuel consumption and

same conditions, they are
monitored individually by the
knock control. The ignition point
is shifted individually, as and
when necessary, to protect the
cylinders and pistons at high
engine speeds. The on -board
diagnostics, which are compliant
with European standards, ensure
timely detection of any faults
and defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notif y the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.Engine cooling system.
Our cross-flow cooling system,
as used in motorsport, supplies
each engine cylinder uniformly
with coolant. Valves are thus
protected against overload and
premature wear, which minimises
the engine’s tendency to knock
and optimises emissions and fuel
consumption.

The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum engine
performance at all times. It regu -
lates all engine-related functions
and assemblies (see diagram).
The results: optimum performance
and torque with reduced fuel
consumption and emissions.
Another important function of the
system is cylinder-specific knock
control. Since the six cylinders
