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, minimises
the engine’s tendency to knock
and ensures comparatively low
emissions, fuel consumption and
noise levels.
Engine management system
with E-Gas.
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 comparatively low
fuel consumption and emissions.
Another important function of the
system is cylinder-specific knock
control. Since the six cylinders
never all work under exactly the

VarioCam Plus
To improve throt tle response
during the warm -up phase,
VarioCam Plus selects high valve
lif ts with retarded valve timing.
In the middle and low load ranges,
low valve lif ts with advanced
timing reduce fuel consumption
and exhaust emissions. High valve
lif ts generate high torque and
maximum output.Two-stage resonance
intake manifold.
The intake manifold with double-
flow distributor pipe has an
adjustable flap that closes and
opens at defined engine speeds.
As a result of a t wo -stage
resonance ef fect, the air mass
in the intake manifold begins to
oscillate, which in turn generates
a turbocharging ef fect and
optimises induction. These t wo
ef fects combine to produce
higher torque at low engine
speeds, a flat ter torque curve and
increased power output at high
engine speeds, while the acoustic
properties of the system are
second to none. A sound that is
typically Porsche.
VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus combines variable
valve timing with t wo -stage lift
on the inlet side. This results in
smoother running, bet ter fuel
economy and lower exhaust

emissions. As well as greater top-
end power and low- end torque. This two-in-one engine concept
seamlessly adapts in response
to driver input. The result: instant
acceleration and extremely
smooth running.
The variation in intake timing
is steplessly controlled by means
of an electrohydraulic rotary
vane adjuster at the head of the
corresponding camshaf t.

Transmission.
Cayman S
This double clutch provides an
alternating, non-positive connection
bet ween the t wo half gearboxes
and the engine by means of t wo
separate input shafts (input shaft
1 is nested inside the hollowed-out
input shaft 2).
The flow of power from the engine
is only ever transmit ted through
one half gearbox and one clutch
at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half
gearbox. During a gear change,
therefore, a conventional shif t no
longer takes place. Instead, one
clutch simply opens and the other
closes at the same time. Gear
changes can therefore take place
within milliseconds.
Clutch 1 controls the first half
gearbox, which contains the
odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and reverse.
Clutch 2 controls the second,
which contains the even gears
(2, 4, 6).
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optional Porsche Doppel
-
kupplung (PDK), with both manual
gearshif t and an automatic mode,
enables smooth gear changes
with no interruption in the flow of
power. This results in significantly
faster acceleration and lower
fuel consumption, without having
to sacrifice the ease of automatic
transmission. In total, PDK has seven gears
at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have
a sports ratio and top speed is
reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear
has a long ratio and helps to
reduce fuel consumption even
f u rt h e r.
PDK is essentially t wo half gear-
boxes in one and thus requires
t wo clutches – designed as a
double wet clutch transmission.

The gear which is engaged is

gearshif t programme, the gear

or for sport y handling and takes
place in a mat ter of milliseconds.
The advantages over a fully
manual transmission are very Package, PDK is enhanced by
the ‘Launch Control’ and ‘motor

In essence, PDK combines
sportiness with ef ficiency and
comfort. What does all this
mean for you? Exactly what you
would expect: uninterrupted
driving pleasure.

in detail.
The crankshaf t transmits engine
torque to the dual-mass fly wheel
which is then channelled through
the clutch housing and onto the
multi-plate clutches, or to be more
precise, the outer disc carrier.
Under oil pressure, clutch 1 closes
and forms a frictional connection rapid gearshif ts with no
interruption in the flow of power,
which result in a considerably
faster rate of acceleration for the
same rate of fuel consumption.
The advantage over a fully
automatic transmission is the

perceptible increase in driving
dynamics – with a similar level of
comfort, and a distinct reduction
in fuel consumption.
with input shaft 1. The torque is
now transmit ted through the
dif ferential to the rear axle.
At this stage, PDK has already
preselected the next gear.
Engine torque is already acting
on the other outer disc carrier
and, in response to a gear change
signal, the overlap shift is

initiated, i.e. as clutch 1 opens,
clutch 2 closes. The non-positive
connection with input shaf t 2 The compact dimensions of the
gearbox reduce rotational masses
which means that the engine
response is more direct and the
system is more light weight.
This, along with the long-ratio 7th
gear, helps to achieve relatively
low fuel consumption and

emission figures comparable
with those of a manual gearbox.

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. This has been
achieved through an ef ficient
drive concept (DFI), light weight
construction, optimum aerody -
namics and low rolling resistance.
The goal? Pure performance – but
not at the expense of the environ -
ment. A goal achieved by the
Cayman models.
Exhaust emission control.
Both engines comply with the Euro
5 emission standard
in Europe and
LEV II/ ULEV in
the USA. Vehicles
manufactured by Porsche demon-
strate that even
high -performance
sportscars can achieve moderate
em issio n
values in their respective
category. In short, the Cayman
is not only sport y, it is also 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.
