For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the
car is still in ‘Sport ’ mode (p. 72).
For safet y, it is set to intervene
automatically only when ABS
assistance is required on both
front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package is the swivel-
mounted stopwatch in the centre
of the dashboard with analogue
and digital display.
In combination with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Sport
Chrono Package offers t wo addi -
tional functions that are activated
by the SPORT PLUS but ton.
First, ‘Launch Control’, which
ensures you achieve the fastest
possible rate of acceleration from
a standing start – on the racetrack,
for example. ‘Launch Control’ is

operated via the SPORT PLUS
but ton with the ‘D’ or ‘M’ drive
position selected. Whilst the driver
depresses the brake pedal
with the lef t foot, the right foot
depresses the accelerator pedal
to the floor. With the accelerator
in the kickdown position, the

The shif t times are shorter, the
gear changes sportier. At low
rates of deceleration, the system
initiates a swif ter, brake-induced
downshift. In manual mode,

gear changes are faster and more
dynamic. In ‘Sport ’ mode, the
PSM system (p. 72) intervenes
later for increased longitudinal and
lateral dynamics. PSM now af fords
greater manoeuvrabilit y under
braking and exit acceleration,
especially at low speeds.
Sport Chrono Package.
Do you think driving a Porsche
should be an even more involving
experience than it is already? Your
wish is our command. On request,
we can equip your vehicle with the
Sport Chrono Package, which is
available for both of the Cayman
models. Its functions enable even
sportier tuning of the engine and
chassis and guarantee even more
driving pleasure.
Selecting the SPORT but ton
on the centre console activates ‘Sport ’ mode, which makes
throt tle response significantly
more immediate, adjusts the
rev-limiter to a harder set ting,

and tunes the engine dynamics
for performance driving.
The optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM)
also switches to ‘Sport ’ mode,
which of fers harder damping
and more direct steering and,
therefore, bet ter road holding.
With the optional PDK in automatic
mode, gearshif t points are system detects the driver’s
request for Launch mode and revs
the engine to an optimum speed
of approximately 6,500 rpm.
Engine torque increases and the
clutch closes slightly. The message
‘Launch Control’ appears on
the display on the steering wheel
for PDK. The driver now quickly
releases the brake – and prepares
for maximum acceleration.
Second, the ‘motorsport- derived
gearshif t strategy’. Using this, PDK
is geared up for maximum shif t
speed, the shortest possible shif t
times and optimum shif t points
for maximum acceleration – for
uncompromising performance.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
On request, the optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) can be combined
with the Sport Chrono Package
Plus. In addition to the functions
of the Sport Chrono Package,
it includes a personal memory
function, which can be controlled
using PCM, and a performance
display for evaluating lap times.

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).

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

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 the car. The forces exerted in a
frontal collision are transmit ted
into the side structure along a
higher load path (4), which improves
the deformation characteristics
of the passenger cell even further.
Porsche Stability Management
(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.
sooner. When sudden braking is
detected, the brake assist function
applies maximum brake pressure
to all four wheels.
Passive safety:
engineered design.
The system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front
of the vehicle (1) distributes the
Under acceleration on wet or
low-grip road surfaces, PSM
improves traction using the ABD
(automatic brake differential)
and ASR (anti-slip regulation)
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
can be deactivated. However, forces exerted onto the bodyshell
in the event of an impact and

minimises deformation of the
passenger cell. Our patented

body work structure with a rigid
bulkhead cross member (2) made
of ultra high-strength steel absorbs
the forces introduced into the
system of longitudinal members
which prevents deformation of the
foot well. The reinforced doors (3)
contribute to the overall rigidit y of

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.

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 free
of CFCs and components manu
-
factured using CFCs. This is
because, here at Porsche, environ -
mental protection does not begin
at the end of a vehicle’s life. It
starts at the planning and develop -
ment stage.
Fuel.
The Cayman models are designed
to operate on fuels with an etha -
nol 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 atmos -
phere.
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.
