Design
e xterior.
Character, profile and a clear point of view.
These values have been encoded in the
Cayman genes since the very beginning.
Aesthetically, they have evolved to find
a precisely st yled expression defined by
sculpted lines and edges, sleek wheel arches, short overhangs, taut proportions
and a classic silhouet te.
The front is dominated by the prominent
wings for which
Porsche is renowned,
and features rest yled headlights inspired
by the Porsche racing heritage of the 1960s and 1970s. With its large and

dynamic air intakes, the front end rein -
forces the car’s powerful demeanor.
For the Cayman slats in the exterior
colour of the vehicle lend structure
for the Cayman S however, the black
air intakes and front spoiler, in the same colour as the exterior, accentuate
the car’s sport y nature.
The circular
front light units integrated in
the air
intakes are a classic feature of
Cayman
styling and incorporate LED daytime
running lights and position lights for
active safety. Precise edges stretch backwards along
the roof to the rear. In conjunction with
the wide track, the effect is a sculpted

and honed physique. Imposing wings

lend prominence to the wheels. The wide
brake light is an integral feature of the
large rear screen.
The rear wing is more than a stunning
eye-catcher. It deploys automatically
at
120 km/ h (74 mph) and its effective
aerodynamic surface area has been
enlarged, reducing lift
to improve contact
with the road and heighten driving pleas -
ure
at the limits of sport y performance.
Forward thinking.

Exploring your own direction takes
unswerving conviction, but that doesn’t
mean you should have to forgo cornering
fun – especially not in the new Cayman.
One good reason is the new mid-mounted
boxer engine. With a displacement of 2.7 litres, this
6-cylinder engine equipped with direct
fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus
produc
es 202 kW (275 hp) and enables
a top speed of 266 km/ h (165 mph).
With the precisely geared 6-speed
manual gearbox fit ted
as standard, the Cayman accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h
(0 – 62 mph) in 5.7 seconds. With
the

optional 7-speed Porsche Doppel
kupplung
(PDK) combined with the Sport
Chrono
Package also available on request,
this
time is cut to 5.4 seconds.
The revised front end with air intakes
painted in the same colour as the exterior
is distinctive. Halogen headlights are
fit ted as standard. The 18-inch Cayman
wheels with dual-arm spoke design are

elegantly st yled. The brake system
with
4-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers in black is powerful and

reassuring. The sound
from the
central tailpipe in brushed stainless
steel is unmistakable. The new Cayman. Wouldn’t it be boring

if an unswerving conviction always led
you down the straight road?

Cayman S
Those who give their all,
should be given it all back.

The new Cayman S.Having an idea is one thing, thinking it
through to the end is another. Some-
times you have to give your all, and with
the new Cayman S this is exactly what
we did – in every respect and with suc -
cess. Its 3.4-litre flat-six engine with DFI
and VarioCam Plus generates 239 kW
(325 hp). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h
(0–62 mph)
in 5.0 seconds and achieves

a top speed
of 283 km/ h (175 mph).
With PDK and the Sport Chrono
Package, both of which are optional, it
reaches 100 km/ h in just
4.7 s e c o n d s. Improved performance demands capable
components. The chassis of the new

Cayman S is matched specifically to the
high power output of the engine. Even
greater levels of agilit y, traction and con -
trol in corners can be achieved with
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
with rear differential lock and the dynamic
gearbox mounts of the Sport Chrono
Package – all of which are available from
our list of options. For added safet y, the
front axle is equipped with larger brake
discs to cope with the increased engine
power. The brake calipers are finished
in red. Imposing 19-inch Cayman S light-
alloy wheels with a classic five-spoke
design are fit ted as standard.
On the new Cayman S, Bi-Xenon headlights
are fit ted as standard. The precisely st yled
LED front light units accentuate the front
air intakes finished in black. At the rear,
the twin tailpipe in brushed stainless steel is located in the centre and produces the
typically resonant
Porsche sound.
For the new Cayman S, we gave our all.
As a mat ter of principle, out of passion
and in anticipation of the corner ahead.

It ’s always worth exploring your own
direction, even if you never know exactly
where this will lead. For this reason, it
pays to have an ingenious safet y concept
on board that employs components that
are just as performance-oriented as the
drivetrain.
In the case of the new Cayman models,
this concept involves an innovative body -
work construction, the stiffness of which
has been purposefully optimised despite
an achieved weight-saving of up to 30 kg
compared with the previous model – a
combination that delivers increased stabi -
lit y and agilit y. It includes an interior that
provides reliable protection in the event of
an accident. It uses a chassis and brakes
that have been specifically matched to
the power output that the new Cayman
models are able to develop. And it is
enhanced by intelligent control systems,
such as Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), which intervene when you reach

the limits of sport y performance.
Some things are indispensable for a broad
view – including a clever lighting concept
with powerful headlights and, of course,
driver assistance systems designed to
give you the right information at the right
time so that you can devote all your at ten -
tion to the next corner.
engineered body design.
The bodyshell of the new Cayman models
is based on an intelligent light weight
principle involving the composite construc -
tion of aluminium and steel. The use of
dissimilar but precisely combined compo -
nents makes it possible to utilise specific
material properties exactly where they
are needed. Not only does this provide a
high degree of safet y for the driver, it
also offers a considerable weight saving
compared with the bodyshell of the prev -
i
ous model. This is why the doors, luggage
compartment lid and rear hatch are made

entirely of lightweight aluminium. Alumi -
nium accounts for around 44 % of the

entire bodyshell. The crumple zones in the front and rear
aprons feature integral light-alloy bumpers,
while impact absorbers offer additional
safet y. For the protection of occupants,
energy-absorbing padding is used selec
-
tively in important areas within the passen -
ger cell.

a irbags.
To protect the driver and passenger,
the new Cayman models are equipped
as standard with full -size airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending on
the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g. frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort

to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair

of impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated far sooner and
with considerably greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (P oSIP).

A design is either fascinating or functional.
The front and rear lights of the new
Cayman models can be both. Clear glass
halogen headlights are fit ted on the
Cayman as standard. The Cayman S is
equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon
headlights. In classic Cayman fashion,

the circular front light units with LED
day time running lights and position lights
are integrated in the air intakes. LEDs
provide powerful illumination, respond
extremely rapidly to driver input and
offer improved energy performance

combined with a longer service life. The
taillights also employ LED technology for increased safet y and an unmistakable

appearance – day and night.
