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.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to page 131.

Cruise control.
Cruise control is available as an option for
the new Cayman models. This automatic
speed controller for the 30 to 240 km/ h
(18–149 mph) speed range is operated
by a switch on a separate control stalk on
the steering
column. The advantages
are clear. Not only can cruise control be
used as a
means of staying within the
speed limit, it also helps you to save fuel
by maintaining
a constant speed.
adaptive cruise control including
Porsche a ctive Safe (P aS).
Also available as an option is the en -
hanced version of cruise control, which
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. A radar sensor inside the front
centre air intake scans the road ahead
up to a distance of 200 m. Imagine
you’ve selected a cruising speed but
have begun to gain on the vehicle in

front because it is driving more slowly –
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed of
your vehicle by restricting throt tle or by
gently applying the brakes until your
chosen distance from the vehicle in front
is maintained. If the vehicle ahead slows
further, adaptive cruise control will decel-
erate your vehicle accordingly – even
down to a halt.
For increased safet y, the system also
readies the brakes whenever it detects
that the distance from the vehicle is
decreasing. However, the driver should
be prepared to intervene manually if
heavier braking is required.
As soon as the road ahead clears, your
vehicle will accelerate back up to the
cruising speed originally set. Porsche
Active Safe (PAS) issues an audible and a
visual warning if the system detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly. This is accompanied by
a brief application of brake force and,
where necessary, the initiation of targeted
braking. During this process, any braking
by the driver is boosted to achieve the
maximum braking force that the system

is able to provide.
Park assist.
Optional Park Assist is activated the mo -
ment you select reverse gear. An audible
signal gives a warning if you reverse too
close to an obstacle.
An enhanced version of Park Assist pro -
vides monitoring of the area to the front
of the vehicle. Ultrasonic sensors are
neatly integrated in the front and rear

aprons. The audible alert is supplemented
by a visual warning in the central display
screen of the CDR audio system or op -
tional PCM showing a graphical represen -
tation of the vehicle from overhead.
‘ w elcome h ome’ lighting.
The ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day -
time running lights for a user-defined
period whenever the vehicle is opened

or closed using the key remote.
a nti-theft protection.
The new Cayman models are equipped as
standard with an immobiliser with in-key
transponder. In addition, the Cayman S has
an alarm system with contact-sensitive
exterior protection. A radar-based interior
surveillance system is available on request.
For the Cayman, a combined alarm and
radar-based interior surveillance system is
available as an option.
Porsche Vehicle Tracking System
(PV TS).
This optional preparation enables future
installation of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking
System (PV TS) from Porsche Tequipment.
PV TS makes it possible to locate a stolen
vehicle across most European countries.
The preparation package includes a spe -
cial wiring loom and a tilt sensor for the
alarm system.
