Unyielding. Resolute. Strong-willed. The perfect match. Do you go your own way? Do you stop to question the rules, and prefer to make your own? Would you rather trust your own mind than go with the flow? Then this is the place for you. Right here in the driver's seat. The new Cayman and Cayman S. An uncompromising declaration of individuality. 6 7 Cayman | The concept The primary target group: your central nervous system. The new Cayman and the new Cayman S. Two different characters. One personality. Their drive for power is impressive, their spirited nature fascinating. Two sports coupés that go beyond all conventions. Two cars that draw their drivers under their spell, forever. construction, power output and efficiency. The new Cayman has a 2.9-litre flat-six engine with a power output of 195 kW (265 hp). (PDK, p. 48) is also available as an option. The key elements of PDK are its seven gears, two half gearboxes Even more impressive are the performance values of the new Cayman S, now with direct fuel and two clutches. It features both manual and automatic modes. Gears are changed using the new gear selector for PDK or the switches on the new three-spoke sports steering wheel. The gear change takes place in a matter of milliseconds without any interruption in the flow of power. The advantage over a fully manual transmission is the considerably faster rate of acceleration for the same rate of fuel consumption. The concept behind the Cayman models is the `Le Mans Coupé', a sports coupé designed in 1953 specifically for this legendary race and based on the 550 Spyder. Its mid-engine layout is what made this car special.The car's low centre 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 sportscars. The new Cayman and the new Cayman S. injection (DFI, p. 34). The fuel/air 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. To express this in figures, its 3.4-litre flat-six engine unleashes a mighty 235 kW (320 hp). Depending on the model, it has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 % and CO2 emissions by up to 16 %. The advantage over a fully automatic transmission is a perceptible increase in driving dynamics ­ with a similar level of comfort, and a distinct reduction in fuel Their uncompromising performance is generated by two brand new engine developments, which stand out above all for their lightweight In either model, this tremendous power is delivered to the road by a precision six-speed manual gearbox.

The new, In fact, there remains only one thing to consider: which one suits you best? The new headlight design and new LED taillights are a striking feature. Bi-Xenon headlights including LED of the brake system, and brake assist. 10 11 Cayman | The concept Front design (Cayman S) Rear design (Cayman) They say that clothes make the person. But only style makes you unmistakable. Design. The design of the new Cayman models is befitting of their distinctive, sporty character. Their performance potential is obvious at first sight, for these are true specimens of force and athleticism. Individual styling features help to define 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 find in the new Cayman models. The front end has been restyled with enlarged air intakes that hint at the performance within. 18 19 Cayman | The concept Front design (Cayman) Rear design (Cayman S) 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. Cayman models a distinctively sporty look. headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on design continues. The styling is emphasised by the distinctly pronounced curves of the front and rear wings and the shape of the doors. contour of the side skirts directs the air stream down to the side air intakes which are designed to facilitate considerable throughflow. The rear section of the side windows curves dynamically the rear end. One of these lines continues to frame the large rear screen. The headlights feature a brand new design. Both models are equipped as standard with halogen headlights, LED position lights request. Follow the car's clean lines along the side towards the rear, past the newly styled and enlarged exterior mirrors, where the impressive Typically for a coupé, there is a gradual, flowing transition from the A-pillar to the rear.

The unmistakable styling of the Cayman models is complimented by the new wheel design. The Cayman is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Cayman S with 18-inch wheels. A 19-inch option is available for both models. The result of all of these measures? A unique appearance and refined aerodynamics with a low drag coefficient of only 0.29. The new Cayman models. Even more sophisticated, even more dynamic, and when it comes to style, they trust in only one direction: their own. 22 23 Model range The forecast for the following pages: an imminent storm. It's not just about the drive for individuality or supreme performance. Above all, it's the indescribable intensity with which the new Cayman models express these two virtues. Uncompromising. Unyielding. Completely unimpressionable, but extremely impressive. 24 25 Cayman | Model range You should never doubt your own principles. The new Cayman. Top speed is 164 mph (265 km/h) in conjunction with the manual gearbox. Equally impressive, however, is the 10 % reduction axle for an even shorter braking distance and improved safety. Fitted as standard are 17-inch wheels with a new star-shaped design which allows an eye-catching view of the brake system. completely restyled and is now finished predominantly in traditional black. The new, integrated CDR-30 audio system with 5-inch display comes as standard and an integrated six-disc CD/DVD autochanger is available as an option. Precisely this attitude is the driving force behind the new Cayman: the absolute conviction to remain true to oneself. No middle roads. No compromises. No nonsense. layout, which ensures a low centre of gravity and thus a high degree of agility and an extremely sporty drive. The new six-cylinder horizontally opposed power unit has a capacity of 2.9 litres. torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. From a standing start, the new Cayman accelerates to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.8 seconds. With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), this sprint takes just 5.7 seconds. in fuel consumption and the 12 % reduction in CO2 emissions, depending on the type of gearbox. The power of the engine is delivered to the road by a precision six-speed manual gearbox. To cope with the increased engine power output, the new Cayman has enlarged brake discs at the front And the interior? The overall impression is simply one of high quality. For instance, the rims of all optional steering wheels are covered in smooth-finish leather. The front centre console has been The new Cayman has found its way. Its own? Without doubt. One of the features that exemplifies this attitude is the mid-engine The engine delivers a power output of 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. A maximum 26 27 Cayman | Model range It takes no prisoners, except for your free will. The new Cayman S. The new Cayman S reaches 62 mph (100 km /h) in just 5.2 seconds. Top speed isn't reached until 172 mph (277 km/h). Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 48) is available as an option. also differs from the new Cayman in its appearance. It has a front spoiler painted in the vehicle's exterior colour, and a new twin tailpipe in stainless steel. The sound? Distinctive. In keeping with the rest of the new Cayman S. To deliver the increased power output to the road, the Cayman S is fitted with 18-inch Cayman S II wheels. Their new design exudes pure dynamism ­ as befits the model's overall look. To accept no compromises, to make conscious decisions, to be governed by nothing other than one's own free will, and to have a clear point of view. A highly promising way to build a sportscar. For us, it's the only way. It is from this philosophy that we developed the new mid-mounted engine with a 3.4-litre capacity and direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). The engine delivers a power output of 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 370 Nm is achieved at 4,750 rpm. It has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 % and CO2 emissions by up to 16 %, depending on the type of gearbox. The fastest rate of acceleration of 4.9 seconds is achieved in conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package. In summary, the new Cayman S But so much power also needs to be tamed. This is the task of the optimised brake system with is more than just a sportscar. It's a Porsche. In addition to having a higher power output, the new Cayman S four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers in a striking red painted finish. 28 29 Drive If you want to take your goals by storm, you had better have the necessary equipment. Two new engines, several goals: increased power, improved driving dynamics, reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. The engine is positioned in the middle of the car, 30 centimetres behind the driver. Just a few centimetres above road level. Any contact with the accelerator pedal unleashes power that knows only one direction: forwards. And a sound that is second to none. 30 31 Cayman | Drive Two examples of the uncompromising efforts of our engineers. Going forward. The engines of the new Cayman models. The flat-six engines. Both Cayman models are equipped with brand new engine developments, but have retained the familiar layout: six horizontally opposed cylinders. The 2.9-litre engine of the new Cayman deliver ...
