The rules as you knew them are about to be broken. Again.

Do you go your own way? Do you stop to question the rules? Would you rather trust your own mind than go with the pack?

Then this is the place for you. Right here in the driver seat.

The advantage over a fully automatic transmission is a perceptible increase in driving dynamicswith a similar level of comfort, and a distinct reduction in fuel consumption.

The concept behind the Cayman models is the Le Mans Coupe, a sports coupe designed in 1953 specically for this legendary race, and based on the 550 Spyder. Its mid-engine layout is what made this car special. The cars low center of gravity gave it tremendous agility and cornering dynamics. From this one basic idea came great success, and with this success our experience grew. The result? Two sophisticated sports cars. The new Cayman and the new Cayman S.

Fuel Injection (DFI). The air/fuel mixture is prepared entirely in the combustion chamber after having been metered and injected directly, with millisecond precision. This means even more power and torque. Its 3.4-liter at-six engine unleashes a mighty 320 horsepower.

Front design (Cayman S)

An unmistakable style. Design.

The design of the new Cayman models is befitting of their distinctive character and their performance potential is obvious at rst sight. Individual styling features help to dene both vehicles so impressively. A constant interaction of convex and concave curves. A certain style, like no other. Immediately, the front displays the kind of character that you expect to nd in the new Cayman models. The front end has been restyled with enlarged air intakes that hint at the performance within. The

contouring of the front apron gives the car an even more purposeful appearance. The front spoiler lip has been enlarged, further reducing lift at the front axle. And the new integrated headlights give the Cayman models a distinctive look.

The headlights feature a brandnew design. Both models are equipped as standard with halogen headlights, LED position lights and front fog lights

integrated into the outer air intakes. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request.

Freedom. The new Cayman S.

To accept no compromises, to make conscious decisions, to be governed by nothing other than ones own free will and to have a clear point of view: a highly promising way to build a sports car. For us, its the only way.

It is from this philosophy that we developed the new mid-mounted engine with a 3.4-liter displacement and Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). The engine delivers a power output of 320 horsepower at 7200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 273 lb.-ft. is achieved at 4750 rpm.

The new Cayman S reaches 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. Top track speed isnt reached until 172 mph. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is available as an option with a 0 60 time of 4.8 seconds.

25

Cayman | The Models

In addition to having a higher power output, the new Cayman S also differs from the new Cayman in its appearance. It has a front spoiler painted in the vehicles exterior color, and a new twin tailpipe in stainless steel.

The sound? Distinctive. In keeping with the rest of the new Cayman S. But so much power also needs to be tamed. This is the task of the optimized brake system with four-piston aluminum monobloc xed calipers in a striking redpaint nish.

To deliver the increased power output to the road, the Cayman S is tted with the striking 18-inch Cayman S II wheels.

The new Cayman S is more than just a sports car. Its a Porsche.

Both Cayman models are equipped with brand-new engines, but have retained the familiar layout: six horizontally opposed cylinders. The 2.9-liter engine of the new Cayman delivers 265 horsepower at an engine speed of 7200 rpm. The maximum torque of 221 lb.-ft. is achieved between 4400 and 6000 rpm. The new engine of the Cayman S has a 3.4-liter capacity and, for the rst time, Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). Power output is 320 horsepower at 7200 rpm. Maximum torque: 273 lb.-ft. at 4750 rpm.

Two-stage resonance intake manifold.

The intake manifold with doubleflow distributor pipe has an adjustable ap that closes and opens at dened engine speeds. As a result of a two-stage resonance effect, the air mass in the intake manifold begins to oscillate, which in turn generates a turbocharging effect and optimizes induction. These two effects combine to produce higher torque at low engine speeds, a atter 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.

This two-in-one engine concept seamlessly adapts in response to driver input. The result: instant acceleration and extremely smooth running.

To improve throttle response during the warm-up phase, VarioCam Plus selects high valve lifts with retarded valve timing. In the middle and low load ranges, low valve lifts

Servicing.
It is good sense to have your vehicle serviced regularly, while keeping the time between maintenance services as long as possible. A Porsche belongs on the road, and not in the workshop.

Hydraulic valve-clearance compensation makes valveclearance adjustment unnecessary. The drive chains on the camshafts do not normally require servicing. With the sole exception of the spark plugs, the ignition system is also maintenance-free.

The alternator, power-steering pump and the air-conditioning compressor are all driven by a single self-adjusting belt.

This double clutch provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two semi-gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft 1 is nested inside the hollowed-out input shaft 2).

The flow of power from the engine is only transmitted through one semi-gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second semigearbox. During a gear change, therefore, a conventional shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes, therefore, take place within hundredths of a second.

Clutch 1 controls the first semigearbox, which contains the odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and Reverse. Clutch 2 controls the second, which contains the even gears (2, 4, 6).

Take the long way home.

51

If you are adventurous like the new Cayman models, a chassis that can cope with the challenges of the road ahead and master them with precision is what you need.

All the components must be in sync with one goal: to be able to fully demonstrate pure performance.

Chassis.
When it comes to the chassis, the drivers connection to the road is an essential priority at all times, along with the delivery of the engines power.

For this reason, the new Cayman models are equipped with a lightweight suspension with transverse links and spring struts, front and rear. The spring and damper unit and the anti-roll bar unit have been further tuned for

exceptional driving dynamics and greater driving comfort. During fast lane changes and through tight corners, this chassis is in its element.

Driving stability is excellent, even in the event of considerable load

54

Steering.
What use is a perfect suspension setup without perfectly tuned steering? The solution is a steering system that works with as much precision and immediacy as the chassis itself and, thanks to the power assistance, steering effort is

reduced to a comfortable level. Around the straight-ahead position, such as during highway driving, the ratio is less direct with no loss of agility or feedback. The greater the steering angle, the more direct the steering ratio. This is particularly noticeable through tight curves and when parking. It provides a

high level of active safety and a more immediate driving response. The car has a turning radius of just 36.4 feet. The steering wheel also adjusts for height and reach.

Porsche Active Suspension Management.

The optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is an electronic damping-control system. On the new Cayman models, the suspension has been tuned to match the increased power of the engine. PASM actively and continuously regulates the damping force for each wheel according to the road conditions and driving style. In addition, the suspension is lowered by 10 mm.

Sensors monitor the movement of the vehicle body, for example, under heavy acceleration and braking or on uneven roads. The control unit tunes the dampers to the optimal hardness for the selected mode to reduce roll and pitch, and to increase contact between each individual wheel and the road.

Mechanically locking rear differential.*

If you are a fan of performance driving, then you shouldnt do without the new optional mechanically locking rear differential available in conjunction with 18- or 19-inch wheels. It further enhances the traction of the driven rear wheels on uneven

In Sport mode, the suspension is set to a harder damper rating. On uneven roads, PASM immediately switches to a softer rating within the Sport setup range, thereby improving contact between the

roads and when accelerating out of tight curves, and the damping of load-change reactions during fast cornering is reduced. Roadholding at the limits of performance is even more impressive. The car holds its course better and so Porsche Stability Management (PSM) intervenes less often.

The driver can select between two different modes: Normal, which is a blend of performance and comfort, and Sport, where the setup is much rmer. Depending on the mode selected, PASM delivers a ride that is sportier or more comfortable than that of the standard chassis. The PASM control unit evaluates the driving conditions and modies the damping force on each of the wheels in accordance with the selected mode.

wheels and the road. When the road surface improves, PASM automatically reverts to the original, harder rating.

If Normal mode is selected and the drivers style becomes more assertive, PASM automatically switches to a harder rating within the Normal setup range. Damping becomes harder, and driving stability and road safety are increased.

There can be no driving pleasure without peace of mind. Introducing the safety features of the new Cayman models.
Active safety.
From the start, active safety is a key element in the design of a new Porsche. With generous safety margins, even the suspension tuning makes a decisive contribution. Optimal acceleration enables rapid overtaking and optimal braking minimizes stopping distances. See and be seen. This is a slogan that typies the new lighting system. The new headlights with LED daytime running lights ensure clear visibility at all times. The low Safe contact with the road is provided not only by the wheel/ front fog lights offer outstanding illumination, and a high-level third tire combination but also by the automatic biplane rear spoiler and aerodynamic front end. Another important standard safety feature is Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights.
Available as an option on the new Cayman models are Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights. Bi-Xenon headlights are approximately twice as powerful as halogen headlights, so they offer improved visibility and illuminate the road more evenly. In fact, they are so effective that fog lights are no longer necessary. A headlight cleaning system is built in.
Night design, front

New dynamic cornering lights offer effective illumination of the road ahead, particularly through curves. Sensors continuously monitor the speed, lateral acceleration and steering lock and, from these variables, calculate the course of the curves. This determines the angle of the dynamic cornering lights, with the lights able to swivel toward the inside of the curve up to a limit of 15 degrees.

Braking system.
The acceleration of the Cayman models is impressive. Even more impressive, perhaps, is the vehicles maximum braking power, which comfortably tames the power of the engine.

For the new Cayman models, the braking system has been modied to cope with the increased engine power. Just like the Cayman S, the front axle of the Cayman features internally vented brake discs with a diameter of 12.5 inches. On both models, 11.8-inch brake discs are tted to the rear

Four-piston aluminum monobloc brake calipers are tted front and rear. Offering excellent rigidity, they are compact and save on weight. Their superior responsiveness for fast and sensitive braking sets them apart. A brake booster provides assistance, reducing pedal effort while maintaining a powerful braking effect.

axle. The brake pads have also been optimized for improved braking performance. The rear brake discs of the new Cayman S are 0.16 of an inch thicker than those of the Cayman, which increases stability under load even further. To distinguish them visually, the brake calipers on the Cayman have a black anodized nish while those on the Cayman S

are painted red.

Standard brake unit (Cayman S)

For reduced weight, optimal braking in wet conditions and improved cooling, the brake discs on both models are cross-drilled.

For the new Cayman S, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

66

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake.

On request, we can equip your Cayman S with a brake system that has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motorsports: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The ceramic brake discs have a

diameter of 14 inches front and rearfor extremely powerful braking. The brake discs are formed from a specially treated carbon-ber compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at approximately 3,100 F. Not only are the resulting discs much harder than standard discsthey are more resistant to heat. The

low thermal expansion of the brake discs prevents deformation under heavy braking. Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favorable noisedamping properties.

67

Cayman | Safety

Cayman S with PCCB

Six-piston aluminum monobloc xed calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear provide a high and constant brake pressure. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required.

All the necessary ingredients are there for a short braking distance, even in the toughest conditions. Also, safety 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 percent lighter than standard

discs of similar design and size, a factor that helps to reduce unsprung and rotating masses on the vehicle. The consequence of this is better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling.

68

Cayman

Porsche Stability Management.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM), which comes standard, is an automatic control system that stabilizes the vehicle at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving direction, speed, yaw velocity 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 stabilize the vehicle. Under acceleration on wet or lowgrip road surfaces, PSM improves traction using the ABD (Automatic Brake Differential) and ASR (AntiSlip Regulation) functions, giving an agile response. When Sport mode is selected in the optional Sport Chrono Package, the PSM intervention threshold is raised to enable greater driver involvementparticularly at speeds of up to approximately 45 mph. The integrated ABS can further reduce the braking distance. For an even sportier

drive, PSM can be deactivated. However, it is automatically reactivated for your safety if either of the front wheels (in Sport mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance. ABD remains permanently active.

PSM has been enhanced and now includes two additional functions: precharging of the brake system, and brake assist. If you suddenly release the accelerator pedal, PSM automatically readies the braking system. With the braking system having been precharged, the brake pads are already in light contact

69

with the brake discs. Maximum braking power is therefore achieved much sooner. When sudden braking is detected, the brake assist function applies maximum brake pressure to all four wheels.

minimizes deformation of the passenger cell. Our patented bodywork structure with a rigid bulkhead crossmember (2) made of ultra high-strength steel absorbs the forces introduced into the system of longitudinal members, which prevents deformation of the footwell. The

Passive safety: engineered design.

The system of longitudinal and transverse members at the front (1) of the vehicle distributes the forces exerted onto the bodyshell in the event of an impact and

reinforced doors (3) contribute to the overall rigidity of the car. The forces exerted in a frontal collision are transmitted into the side structure along a higher load path (4), which improves the deformation characteristics of the passenger cell even further.

Passive safety: airbags.

Each of the full-size airbags is inated in two stages, depending on the severity of an accident. In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inated, thereby minimizing discomfort for the occupants. Also tted as standard is the Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP).

It comprises side-impact protection elements in the doors and two airbags on each side. An integral thorax airbag is located in the seat backrests, while the door panels each contain a head airbag. With each having a volume of approximately 0.28 of a cubic foot, these airbags offer excellent protection in the event of a side impact.

Other passive safety features include head restraints integrated into the seat backrests, an energyabsorbing steering column, threepoint seat belts, front seat-belt pretensioners and force limiters, energy-absorbing elements in the dashboard, and ame-resistant materials throughout the interior.

In an era of intensifying debate about CO2 emissions, every automotive manufacturer is being asked the question, What is your answer to the issue of fuel consumption? Our answer has long been the same: maximum efficiency.

This high level of environmental responsibility is clearly demonstrated by our approach to environmental management at the Porsche development center in Weissach. Here, all technological developments are carried out with environmental protection in mind. The goal?

This is achieved through the use of a two-stage cascade-type catalytic converter which is comprised by two monolith substrates on each of the twin exhaust tracts. These specially coated substrates contain ultrafine honeycomb channels in which pollutants are converted as exhaust gas passes through. The stereo Lambda Sensor circuitry controls and monitors each cylinder bank separately,

Porsche has been reducing the CO2 emissions of its vehicles annually by an average of 1.7 percent. As far as engine output is concerned, we are already among those manufacturers achieving the lowest CO2 emissions. This has been achieved through the new efficient drive concept, lightweight construction, optimal aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.
