You aren’t the only one looking for ways

to improve your performance. In an era of
intensif ying debate about global climate
change and CO
2 em issio ns, au to m ot i ve
manufacturers are among those asking
themselves how they can contribute to

environmental protection. Our answer
has long been the same: Intelligent Per -
formance – a combination of high power
output and high efficiency.
In recent years, Porsche has managed to
reduce fuel consumption across all model
ranges by a double-digit percentage com -
pared with the respective previous model,
even though performance has been in -
creased in every generation. This is made
possible by an ef ficient drive concept,
including direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus, a lightweight construc -
tion, optimised aerodynamics and low
rolling resistance.
The environmental management team
at the Porsche Development Centre in
Weissach demonstrates a high level of
environmental responsibility. Here, tech -
nological developments are carried out
with environmental protection in mind.
The goal is to enhance performance –
but preferably not at the expense of the
environment. We achieve this goal with
Intelligent Performance, as epitomised

by the new Cayman.

environment.
e mission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche dem-
onstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission
val
ues in their respective category.
This is accomplished by the use of fuel-
ef ficient technologies such as auto start /
stop, thermal management, electrical
system recuperation, direct fuel injection,
VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction with
optional PDK, coasting mode.
The newly developed cataly tic converters
also provide ef ficient emission control,
while the stereo Lambda control circuitr y
manages and monitors each cylinder
bank separately. For each exhaust tract,
oxygen sensors, together with the engine
electronics and injectors, regulate the
composition of the exhaust gas, while
another Lambda sensor on each cylinder
bank monitors pollutant conversion in
the respective cataly tic converter.

Environment
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is, and
always has been, a fundamental aspect of
the Porsche philosophy – for both techni -
cal and ecological reasons. This combina -
tion forms the basis for achieving low fuel
consumption values in conjunction with
high performance. On the technical side,
various components are made with a high
proportion of alu minium, magnesium, plas -
tics and super- high -strength sheet steel.
The materials used have been selected
for their abilit y to withstand load, yet they
are considerably lighter than conventional
steel. As a result, the bodyshell of the new
Cayman models has a light alloy content
of approximately 44 %.
On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. We use only state-of-the-art components, with priority
given to products manufactured in a sus
-
tainable manner where possible. All syn -
thetic components are easily recyclable
and each material is labelled to facilitate
its separation for recycling. The reduction
in the number of plastic variants helps to
ensure more efficient recycling. Recycled
plastics are used where they meet our
exacting technical requirements.
In short, the new Cayman is around 95 %
recoverable.
In addition, Porsche uses a high proportion
of environmentally friendly water-based
paints. For us, environmental protection
does not begin with the vehicle manufac -
turing process. It starts at the planning
and development stage.
Fuel.
The new Cayman models are designed to
operate on fuels with an ethanol content of
up to 10 %. Ethanol has a positive impact
on the CO2 balance since the plants grown
for the production of this biofuel also
absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere. The
release of hydrocarbons from the fuel

system has been minimised thanks to the
active carbon filter and the multilayered
material from which the fuel tank is made.
Servicing.
Long service intervals offer clear advan -
tages. For you, they reduce costs and
save time. For the environment, they assist
in the sparing use of consumables and
replacement parts. For full details of ser -
vice intervals, please refer to the separate
price list.

1 Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System
Burmester® high- end Surround Sound
System.
Any car manufacturer can integrate a
sound system into a vehicle. Why not go
one step further and embed the driver in
a sound system? That was the aspiration
for Porsche and Burmester
® in the devel -
opment of the optional Burmester
® High-
End Surround Sound System. Conceived
and tuned specifically for the new
Cayman, this is high-end technology

‘made in Germany’.
Components used in the car are as
sophisticated as the components that

Burmester
® puts into its high-end home
audio systems. How do the numbers
sound? 12 amplifier channels with a total
output of 821 wat ts and 12 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer. A particu -
larly special feature is the integration
of the active subwoofer in the bodyshell.
Not only does this provide ideal condi -
tions for the sound, it is consistent with
the principles of lightweight construction
as applied in motorsport.
Conceptually, we have broken entirely new
ground. The analogue and digital filters
of the crossover technology used have

been optimally defined for their installation
location and finely tuned following exten -
sive in-car audio testing. The perfect inter -
action of all loudspeaker chassis delivers
superior bass foundation, definition and
impulse accuracy.
As yet unequalled, the result is a natural
and richly textured spatial sound, even at
top volume. All of this is achieved despite the system’s remarkably low overall

weight
thanks to intelligent Burmester®
light
weight technology. The pure, sport y
design makes it clear
that the appeal of
the Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound
System is as much about
the visual as it is
the audio. Typically Porsche.
