Cayman S exhaust systemCayman S t win tailpipes Cayman S
Cayman tailpipe
circuitry controls and monitors
each cylinder bank separately.

For each exhaust tract, four corre -
sponding oxygen sensors regulate
the composition of the exhaust
gas and monitor the conversion
of pollutants in the cataly tic con -
verters.
A sports exhaust system – for a
more resonant sound – is
available as an option for

each of the Cayman models.
Ignition system.
The ignition system is designed
for static high -voltage distribution.
Individual ignition coils on each
of the spark plugs ensure perfect
ignition every time. The individual
ignition coils are controlled
directly by the engine electronics.
Servicing.
It is a good idea to have your
vehicle serviced regularly, but it
makes just as much sense to keep
the time bet ween maintenance
services as long as possible. Why?
Because a Porsche belongs on
the road, and not in the workshop.
The alternator, power-steering
pump and the air- conditioning
Exhaust system.
The exhaust system – with t win
tailpipes on the Cayman S – is
made of stainless steel. Until it
converges in the connecting tube,
the exhaust gas is channelled
through t wo separate tracts and,
thanks to separate exhaust gas
cleaning systems, the exhaust
gas can flow more freely – for
increased power and torque.
The stereo Lambda control
compressor are all driven by a
single self-adjusting belt. Hydraulic

valve clearance compensation
makes valve clearance adjustment
unnecessary. The drive chains
on the camshaf ts do not normally
require servicing. With the sole
exception of the spark plugs, the
ignition system is also mainte -
nance -free.
Put simply, we don’t expect to
see your Porsche too often.

corrosion and offer more favour-
able noise-damping properties.
Six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers on the front axle
and four-piston units at the
rear provide a high and constant
brake pressure. The pedal
response is fast and precise with
only moderate input required. of even the most durable brake
pads and discs. We recommend
that all brake components be

professionally inspected and
replaced where necessary af ter
every track event.Porsche Ceramic Composite
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

Transport concept.
The Cayman models satisf y your
need for independence, whatever
your destination or purpose. Af ter
all, there are occasions when
you don’t get into your car merely
for the sake of it. Sometimes, you
simply need to get from A to B.

activities. With their generous storage surface above the engine

enables the convenient loading of

capacit y of 260 litres and a
high - qualit y finish. On request,
you can have the panels
surrounding the engine cover and
the integral strut tower mouldings
finished in the vehicle’s exterior
colour.
A retaining rail at the front of the
engine cover helps to secure any
luggage under braking. A luggage
stop behind the seats is also
available as an option. Smaller
items can be secured on top of
the engine cover using a luggage
net with four lashing eyelets. A
stainless steel partition provides
an elegant transition to the lower
rear luggage area. This is the
ideal space for larger items and
also has four lashing eyelets for
at taching a luggage net.
Another useful feature is the

Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
No time for instruction manuals?
We thought as much.
Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
including navigation module.
Navigation module for PCM.
The GPS navigation system
included with the optional PCM has
an internal hard drive containing
maps for most European countries.
A touchscreen enables rapid
destination input and instant view -
ing of traffic information and points
of interest (POIs) by simply allowing
you to touch the symbols on
the map. Route diversions, e.g.
the nearest service stations,
can therefore be incorporated
quickly and easily into the current
route guidance.
As the central control unit
for audio, navigation and
communications, the optional
PCM is multifunctional and
ergonomic to operate.
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
colour touchscreen with a durable,
easy-to - clean coating. Functional,
innovative and easy to use,
you will find the display very
clearly presented and a maximum
of five list entries per page
enable you to operate the unit
quickly and safely. Alternatively,
you can choose to operate PCM
using the rotary pushbut ton on
the right. Radio functions include up to 42
memory presets and an FM dual
tuner frequency diversit y with
RDS, which continuously scans in
the background for the best

signal. The integrated single CD/
DVD drive supports the MP3
format and – in combination with
the optional BOSE
® Surround
Sound System – is able to play
back music from audio and
video DVDs in 5.1 digital format.
An integrated six- disc CD/ DVD
autochanger with MP3 playback
is also available as an option for
PCM.

Noise.
The Cayman models comply with
all applicable noise regulations
without any form of engine encap-
sulation. To achieve this, noises
are eliminated at source. Engine
parts are stif f, moving parts are
light weight and tolerances are
kept to a minimum. Large-volume
silencers and resonators in the
air intake system minimise noise
further. For the entire service life
of the vehicle.
Servicing.
Long service intervals of fer
clear advantages. For you: lower
costs and saved time. For the
environment: the use of fewer
consumables and replacement
parts. For full details of service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.
Fuel economy and recycling.
At Porsche, a fundamental aspect
of design is intelligent light weight
construction. For both economical
and ecological reasons. This
forms the basis for low fuel con -
sumption values in conjunction
with outstanding performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of aluminium cast
alloys, plastics and super high-
strength sheet steel used. This
is substantially lighter and more
stable than conventional steel. In
the Cayman models approximately
20 % of components are made
from light weight alloys. We use
only innovative and environmen -
tally friendly components,
and each material is labelled to
facilitate its separation for
recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet exacting
technical requirements. In all, the
Cayman models are approximately
95 % recyclable. In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints. The Cayman is
absolutely free of asbestos, CFCs
and components manufactured
using CFCs. This is because,

here at Porsche, environmental
protection does not begin at
the end of a vehicle’s life. It starts
at the planning and development
stage.
Fuel.
The Cayman models are already
designed to operate on fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %.
Ethanol has a positive impact on
the CO
2 balance since the plants
cultivated for the production of
this biofuel also absorb CO
2 from
the atmosphere.
The active carbon filter and
a special coating on the fuel tank
reduce the amount of hydrocar -
bons released from the fuel
system. All fuel lines are made of
aluminium, while vapour- carrying
lines are made from multi-layered
plastic.
