PORCHE CAYMAN

Precisely one attitude is the driving force behind the Cayman: the absolute conviction to remain true to oneself. No middle roads. No compromises. No nonsense.

One of the features that exemplifies this attitude is the mid-engine 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. The engine delivers a power output of 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. A maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. From a standing start, the 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.

Top speed is 164 mph (265 km/h) in conjunction with the manual 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 Cayman has enlarged brake discs at the front 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. 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 completely restyled and is now finished predominantly in traditional black. the 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.

The Cayman has found its way. Its own? Without doubt.

The design of the 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 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.

The front wings with their new, integrated headlights give the Cayman models a distinctively sporty look.

The headlights feature a brand new 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.

Follow the car’s clean lines along the side towards the rear, past the newly styled and enlarged exterior mirrors, where the impressive design continues. The styling is emphasised by the distinctly pronounced curves of the front and rear wings and the shape of the doors.

Typically for a coupé, there is a gradual, flowing transition from the A-pillar to the rear. The sharper contour of the side skirts directs the air stream down to the side air intakes which are designed to facilitate considerable through-flow. The rear section of the side windows curves dynamically upwards. Extending beyond the side windows are two additional lines that direct attention towards the rear end. One of these lines continues to frame the large rear screen.

The second line continues its rearward path to the LED taillight module. The elegant, extendable rear wing further reduces lift at the rear axle.

Below, you cannot miss the visible hallmark of the characteristic Porsche sound: the stainless steel tailpipe – twin tailpipe on the Cayman S – integrated into the rear end.

The unmistakable styling of the Cayman models is complemented 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 Cayman models. Even more sophisticated, even more dynamic, and when it comes to style, they trust in only one direction: their own.
