The law of inertia need never mean a dull moment. The new Cayman models.
6 There is a place where driving pleasure reaches its pinnacle. Where the laws of physics are set in asphalt, and where gravity insists on finding its center. It’s a point so precisely located, a single degree can be the difference between a perfect moment and profound disappointment. Welcome to the apex of the curve, where the new Porsche Cayman lives. Cayman is a sports car concept that pursues performance unconventionally. With its mid-engine design, the Cayman centers weight low in the chassis, so the car’s center of gravity is directly beneath the driver seat. The connection between car and driver is pure and undiluted. And now, the Cayman concept enters its second generation. New chassis developments, new engine developments, and a front-to-tail redesign of its coupe shape create an entirely new Cayman, with enhanced levels of power, efficiency, and handling agility. Enter a corner and roll on the throttle: Whether you choose the Cayman model with its new 2.7-liter, 275-hp six- cylinder engine or the Cayman S with its 3.4-liter, 325-hp six, pressing the accelerator creates forward propulsion combined with formidable lateral grip. The new Cayman and Cayman S. There’s an apex just waiting for you to arrive. For those who believe life is lived at the apex of a curve. Cayman concept. The new Cayman models  |  Cayman concept
8 The new Cayman models  | Engineering The new Cayman adheres to Porsche’s long-held principle of intelligent lightweight construction. The doors, luggage compartment lid, and rear hatch are made entirely of aluminum, with the lightweight material accounting for approximately 44 percent of the entire structure. The chassis has been completely revised and its wheelbase lengthened, helping the new Cayman achieve two of automotive engineering’s most coveted aims: an ideal front/rear weight balance, and an optimal power-to-weight ratio. For enhanced dynamic performance and increased driving stability when the car is pushed to the limit, both Cayman models are equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM). Enhanced Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is available as an option and includes a ride-height reduction of 10 mm. Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with rear differential lock for increased agility and traction in corners is also available on request. The optional Sport Chrono Package makes the highly responsive handling characteristics of the new Cayman even sportier. For the first time, the package now also includes dynamic gearbox mounts, which make a perceptible contribution to handling Six cylinders. Four heart chambers. Just 12 inches apart. Engineering. stability in fast corners while ensuring a high degree of ride comfort. The Cayman model’s new 2.7-liter engine and the Cayman S model’s 3.4-liter engine are “boxer” designs. Unlike a conventional “V” configuration, in our boxer engines the pistons are horizontally opposed, forming a “flat six.” It’s a compact yet potent engine that keeps the core weight mass positioned low within the engine—and engine low within the car. It’s the ideal design for a mid-engine sports car. Both engines feature Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. Power is transmitted to the wheels by a smooth six- speed manual transmission or the optional 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). Fuel efficiency is achieved by a suite of engineering innovations. The Auto Start Stop function, electromechanical power steering, electrical system recuperation, and intelligent thermal management all help reduce the demand for fuel and the level of emissions. The new Cayman design is unmistakably that of a pure-bred Porsche sports car, with every line and every edge energized in one direction: forward.

12 The new Cayman models  | Design Exterior Study the sculpted lines and edges, narrow wheel arches, short overhangs, taut proportions, and sleek silhouette of the new Cayman. What you will observe is a design aesthetic that is unique to Porsche. The family values encoded into the Cayman genes since the very beginning are evident. No matter where your eye falls, it sees the Porsche character, the Porsche profile, and the unwavering Porsche belief in form following function. The purposeful, now made even more beautiful. Design.
13 The new front is dominated by the prominent fenders. With its large and dynamic air intakes, the front end signals the powerful persona of the Cayman. Restyled headlights—-inspired by the Porsche racing heritage of the 1960s and 1970s—are the windows to the soul of the Cayman. The circular front light units integrated in the air intakes are a signature of Cayman styling and incorporate LED daytime running lights and position lights. Precise edges stretch backward along the roof to the rear. In conjunction with the wide track, the effect is a sculpted and honed physique. Imposing fenders lend prominence to the wheels. The wide brake light is an integral feature of the large rear window. The rear spoiler is more than a stunning eye-catcher. It deploys automatically at 75 mph to effectively enlarge the aerodynamic surface area and increase downforce. The firm contact with the road heightens driving pleasure at the limits of performance.
14 The new Cayman models  | Design tailpipe (dual-tube on the Cayman S) adds the powerful finishing touch. Compared with that of the previous model, the wheelbase of the new Cayman has been extended by 2.4 Retracted, the separation edge of the rear spoiler makes a seamless transition to the LED taillights. The integrated turn signals are narrow and in line with the fender. The rear fascia with centrally framed stainless steel inches, the wheels are larger, and the silhouette is sleeker. The effect on the eye is more dynamic. The effect on the road? It’s more dynamic too. The side windows are narrow and, if you wish, you can highlight their contours with optional trim strips in a high-gloss finish. The taut energy of the exterior design is accentuated by a forward- shifted windshield, aggressive air-intake channels, large wheel arches, and a roofline that extends far into the rear.
15 It’s as if the Cayman is moving swiftly, even when it’s standing perfectly still. To help improve aerodynamics and reduce wind buffeting, the exterior mirrors are mounted directly on the doors. Their dynamic contouring not only gives emphasis to the Cayman profile—it improves airflow to the side air intakes. The rush of cooling air supplies oxygen to this athlete’s beating heart: the boxer engine. Where the new Cayman wants to go is clear. Every line and every technical detail is focused in one direction: forward.
17 Interior Creating an uncompromising sports car takes conviction. Giving it an unmistakable design takes creativity. Combine both conviction and creativity and apply it to the interior design. What results? An environment where the driver is central in the driving experience. In the new Cayman, this has been made possible by a new interior architecture that gives a feeling of open space and offers plenty of freedom of movement around the low-positioned standard sport seats. The central feature of the interior is the redesigned ascending center console. We believe that the gear lever should be positioned close to the steering wheel to enable fast, efficient, and ergonomic gearshifts. It’s just one of many principles that we’ve transferred from the racetrack to the road. As you would expect, the ignition lock is on the left. The three-spoke sport steering wheel fits the hand perfectly. Behind it are the three central circular instruments, which give you all the important information you need. The new and generously proportioned luggage compartment is located underneath the wide rear window. The large rear hatch above the exquisitely styled luggage compartment has a wide opening angle. The luggage protection bar is finished in Brushed Aluminum just like the inlay between the upper and rear luggage spaces. Storage compartments on both sides offer additional storage room. To further enhance the interior, we offer a comprehensive range of personalization options and a wide selection of colors and materials. All to create your unique vision. Our mid-engine coupe now puts the driver even closer to the center. Design.
20 At Porsche, it’s never our aim to pursue efficiency purely for its own sake. Our rationale is always to use any savings in size or weight to help make a better sports car. A more agile sports car. A quicker sports car, whether accelerating or braking. A safer sports car, able to use its razor-sharp reflexes to avoid accidents in the first place. It’s an approach to engineering we call Intelligent Performance. And in the new Cayman model, it results in a sports car that simply does more with less. The Cayman model’s new 2.7-liter boxer engine is actually smaller in The new Cayman models  | Cayman A sports car that does more with less. How very Porsche. The new Cayman.
21 terms of displacement than the engine it replaces. The six-cylinder boxer engine is as compact as possible. After all, the less weight an engine carries, the more the car it propels is able then to translate that weight savings into brisk acceleration and responsive handling. The secret to the engine’s less-is-more ethos is a suite of engineering innovations that optimize power. This six-cylinder engine uses Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus to help it produce 275 horsepower, with a top track speed of 165 mph. With its precisely geared six-speed manual transmission, the Cayman accelerates from 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Add the optional 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) combined with the Sport Chrono Package, and the Cayman model’s 0–60-mph acceleration time is cut to a mere 5.1 seconds. The 18-inch Cayman wheels, a new front end, brake calipers finished in black, and, of course, the central tailpipe in brushed stainless steel are unmistakable ways to identify the Cayman model. Come to think of it, so is the sound coming from that singular exhaust.
22 The new Cayman models  |  Cayman S We’re not the first company to put the letter “S” on our high-performance models. Just the most qualified. The new Cayman S. When you start at an already-high level, where do you go next? At Porsche, we go to the 19th letter of the alphabet. With the new Cayman S, this is exactly what we did—in every respect. Its 3.4-liter flat-six engine with DFI and VarioCam Plus generates 325 horsepower. It accelerates from 0–60 mph in 4.7 seconds and achieves a top track speed of 175 mph. With PDK and the Sport Chrono Package, both of which are optional, it reaches 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Improved performance demands capable components. The chassis of the new Cayman S is matched specifically to
23 the high power output of the engine. Even greater levels of agility, traction, and control 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 safety, 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 fitted as standard. On the new Cayman S, Bi-Xenon™ headlights are also standard. The precisely styled 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 center and produces the typically resonant Porsche sound. The new Cayman S. Because Porsche engineers gave it their all, we’re able to give it the letter S.
The natural place for an outstanding performer: center stage. Drive.

27 The new Cayman models are powered by compact, mid-mounted boxer engines positioned no further than 12 inches behind the driver. This unorthodox approach yields unique attributes. A substantial amount of the weight of the Cayman is concentrated close to the middle of the vehicle. The center of gravity is low and central, and weight is distributed uniformly between the front and rear axles. The tangible effect—a truly stunning level of agility, with well-balanced handling, particularly in corners. The new engine concept is defined by high power plus reduced fuel consumption and emissions figures compared with the previous model. We call it Intelligent Performance, a philosophy that applies the engineering principles of the racetrack to the road. Both engines are equipped as standard with VarioCam Plus and Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) as well as efficiency-enhancing technologies such as Auto Start Stop, electrical system recuperation, and advanced thermal management. We’re behind the driver 100 percent. Or in this case, about 12 inches. Boxer engines. What can you expect from the Cayman driving experience? Direct responses to every burst of acceleration. Dynamic handling in every corner. Oh yes, and one more thing: the inevitable pain of separation at the end of every drive.
2.7-Liter Engine The Cayman model is equipped with a free-revving 2.7-liter flat-six engine with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. It develops 275 horsepower at 7400 rpm. The maximum torque of 213 lb.-ft. is available across a wide speed range from 4500 to 6500 rpm. The new Cayman with six-speed manual gearbox accelerates from 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds and reaches a top track speed of 165 mph. With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), it completes the 0–60-mph sprint in 5.3 seconds and achieves a maximum track speed of 164 mph. Available as an option, the Sport Chrono Package offers a further performance boost, enabling the new Cayman to accelerate from 0–60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. 3.4-Liter Engine The new Cayman S draws its agility from a 3.4-liter flat-six engine with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus.

29 torque of 273 lb.-ft. is generated between 4500 and 5800 rpm. The new Cayman S with six-speed manual gearbox races from 0–60 mph in 4.7 seconds and reaches a top track speed of 175 mph. Even sportier figures are achieved with the optional PDK: 4.6 seconds from 0–60 mph and a top track speed of 174 mph. In conjunction with the Sport Chrono Package available on request, the new Cayman S finishes the sprint to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. 1 Power output and torque chart for the Cayman 2 Power output and torque chart for the Cayman S 3 Engine, gearbox, and exhaust system of the Cayman S 4 Cayman S engine 4
30 Resonance Intake Manifold The new boxer engines benefit from the resonance effect. It’s used to oscillate the air mass inside the intake manifold for improved air induction. In turn, it helps optimize the formation of the air/fuel mixture. In the Cayman S, the manifold is also equipped with a switchable resonance valve. The results are high torque, a uniform torque curve, and high power output. The sound produced is characteristically resonant and deep. Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) In both new Cayman engines, Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) is standard. Multi-hole injectors deliver fuel directly into the combustion chamber with millisecond precision. The injection pattern has been optimized for torque, power output, fuel consumption, and emissions. Combustion is even more effective as a result. With direct injection, the engine management system regulates injection timing individually for each cylinder as well as the injection rate for each cylinder bank. This optimizes the combustion process and therefore fuel economy. Depending on the engine operating condition, multiple fuel injections take place so that the catalytic converter reaches normal operating temperature sooner after a cold start and a greater top-end torque can be achieved. DFI improves the internal cooling of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio, which helps to deliver greater power output at the same time as enhanced engine efficiency. Injection is regulated by the electronic engine management system and emissions are monitored by the stereo lambda sensors, thus helping to protect the environment. Drive  | Engine VarioCam Plus By adjusting the intake camshafts and switching the lift of the intake valves, VarioCam Plus transforms the characteristics of the engine. So much so, it’s like getting two engines in one. The system first differentiates between driver inputs that typify normal, everyday driving and those inputs that demand maximum performance. The electronic engine management system then imperceptibly adapts valve operation to the prevailing conditions. This results in instant acceleration and extremely smooth running. In short, VarioCam Plus provides excellent acceleration power with comparatively low fuel consumption.
Integrated Dry-Sump Lubrication A reliable oil supply is the lifeblood of a performance engine. In the new Cayman and Cayman S, the engines are supplied oil via integrated dry-sump lubrication. It ensures a reliable supply of oil even when a sporty driving style is adopted and the vehicle is experiencing powerful lateral acceleration. It also has additional cooling functions. The oil tank is located in the engine, thereby eliminating the need for an external oil tank and saving space and weight. To reduce power losses and increase efficiency, an electronically controlled oil pump supplies the lubricating points inside the engine as and when required. It optimizes the supply of oil, improves fuel economy, and thereby reduces emissions levels.
32 Efficiency Technologies Heat is the enemy of performance. The intelligent thermal management system in the Cayman models regulates the temperature in the engine and gearbox to reduce friction losses that occur during the warm-up phase. Thanks to the purposeful control of heat flow and on-demand, gradual activation of the various cooling circuits, the engine and gearbox warm up to normal operating temperature more rapidly. The resulting reduction in friction also results in more efficient fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. During sporty driving, thermal management also acts to reduce temperatures so as to maintain a high degree of performance. Our cross-flow cooling system, originally developed for Porsche race cars to fight the extreme temperatures encountered in endurance races, supplies each engine cylinder uniformly with coolant. It protects all valves against thermal overload and premature wear. This helps improve combustion and helps keep emissions, fuel consumption, and noise comparatively low. Exhaust System In the new Cayman models, each cylinder bank has its own stainless steel exhaust tract. Downstream of their respective rear silencer, the tracts converge in a connecting tube and a single (Cayman) or twin (Cayman S) tailpipe. The stereo lambda sensor circuitry controls and monitors each cylinder bank separately. For each exhaust tract, four corresponding oxygen sensors regulate the composition of the exhaust gas and monitor the performance of the catalytic converters. The separate tracts enable the exhaust gas to flow more freely. The resulting reduction in pressure loss has a positive impact on power output, torque, and the unmistakable engine sound. 1 Standard tailpipe of the Cayman S 2 Standard tailpipe of the Cayman Drive  | Engine Available as an option for the new Cayman models is the sport exhaust system including Sport tailpipe. It produces an even more resonant Porsche sound.

34 Engine Management An electronic engine management system regulates all engine-related functions to achieve optimal engine performance at all times. The engine operates near the peak of its power and torque output across a wide rpm range with comparatively low fuel consumption and emissions— whatever the driving style. One example is the cylinder-specific knock control. Since engine cylinders never all work under exactly the same conditions, the knock control function monitors each one separately. To help protect the cylinders and pistons at high engine speeds and loads, the ignition point is shifted individually, as and when necessary. The onboard diagnostics detect any faults and defects that may occur in the exhaust and fuel systems and then display them on the onboard computer. This also helps to avoid increased pollutant emissions and unnecessary fuel consumption. Drive  | Engine
1 2 1 Auto Start Stop button 2 Sport button 35 Auto Start Stop Function A standard feature of the new Cayman engines is the Auto Start Stop function. A fuel-saving innovation designed primarily for use in urban traffic, it works automatically, switching off the engine when you stop, selecting Neutral, and releasing the clutch pedal. When equipped with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, engaging the Auto Start Stop is simply a case of applying and holding the brake pedal. In Auto Start Stop mode, all audio and communication systems remain on. The engine instantly and seamlessly restarts as soon as you operate the clutch or, in cars with PDK, release the brake. Auto Start Stop can be deactivated and reactivated using a separate button on the center console. The function is deactivated automatically under particular circumstances—in the event of extreme outside temperatures, activation of the Sport button, or low battery charge.
36 Drive  | Engine Sport Button What happens when you press the Sport button on the center console? Sport mode is activated, instantly tuning the engine dynamics for enhanced performance. The engine response to commands from the accelerator pedal is even more direct and immediate, and the rev limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. At the same time, the Auto Start Stop function is deactivated automatically. With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the shift points are reconfigured to offer higher and even sportier rpm bands. Shift times are reduced and gearshifts become firmer and more immediate, while throttle-blip downshifts are accompanied by an even more emotive engine sound. Coasting mode is deactivated automatically. Electrical System Recuperation Another efficiency-enhancing feature of the new Cayman models is intelligent electrical system recuperation. It takes the energy created from the forces of braking and uses it to recharge the vehicle’s battery. Thanks to this
37 selective recharging, when you request full driving power, the maximum possible output of the engine can be directed straight to the road because the electrical systems are supplied mainly by the energy that was stored in the battery during the braking phase. Servicing In the Cayman models, the generator and air-conditioning system are driven by a single self-adjusting belt. 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. In short, longer service intervals means the pleasure of driving is uninterrupted.

39 Six-Speed Manual Gearbox The new Cayman models come standard with the six-speed manual transmission. Gearshifts are smooth, precise, and optimally adapted to the respective engine map. Shift throws are short and the gear lever is easy to operate, providing a truly engaging driving experience. The upshift indicator located in the central circular instrument helps you to maximize fuel efficiency. The ascending center console reinforces the authentic sports car feel. It positions the gear lever close to the steering wheel, enabling you to change gear as fast and as ergonomically as possible. ­­Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) Available as an option is the completely retuned 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), featuring both manual and automatic modes. This is how PDK works: PDK is essentially two gearboxes in one. A double-clutch arrangement provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts. The flow of power from the engine is transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half gearbox. During a gear change, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time, enabling gear changes to take place within milliseconds. PDK has seven forward gears at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have a sport ratio and top speed is reached in sixth gear. Seventh gear has a long ratio and keeps engine speed low to reduce fuel consumption and improve comfort. The advantages are perceptible. Gear changes take place with no interruption in the flow of power. Sharper gearshift programs and significantly shorter shift times produce fast acceleration— faster even than with the manual gearbox. Fuel economy and comfort characteristics have also been optimized. With the Sport button selected, the full advantages of the new version of PDK are brought into play: a more immediate response to throttle inputs, relatively short shift times, and swift downshifts on overrun—such as during braking into a corner—and always accompanied by an emotive engine sound. With the optional Sport Chrono Package, PDK is enhanced by Launch Control and the motorsport-derived gearshift strategy for even faster and firmer gear changes and best possible performance, thanks to a boost in torque. If your driving style is less assertive, the shift points are recalculated so you drive at more comfortable and more economical engine- speed ranges, and coasting mode is activated where possible. 1 Gear lever for six-speed manual gearbox 2 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) Sport gear selector 3 Gearshift switch on sport steering wheel in conjunction with PDK You’ve developed your own strategies for advancement. So have we. Transmission.
40 Coasting The coasting function available with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables you to save even more fuel when the situation allows. Typically, when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, it produces an effect called engine braking. But with the coasting function, the engine is decoupled from the transmission to prevent deceleration caused by engine braking. So it makes optimal use of the vehicle’s momentum, allowing it to coast for longer distances. The process is smooth and seamless, thanks to the extremely fast clutch. Let’s say, for example, that you want to slow down from 60 to 50 mph in anticipation of the change of speed limit ahead. As you ease off the accelerator pedal, PDK deselects the current gear automatically and you begin to coast in Neutral with minimal input required on your part, until you have reached your desired speed. As soon as you operate the accelerator or brake pedal, PDK re-engages the appropriate gear within fractions of a second. Another way to reduce fuel consumption is to utilize the coasting function on downhill gradients that are gentle enough for you to maintain a constant speed. Efficient on long journeys, such as on the highway, PDK remains ready to respond as swiftly and precisely as you would expect from a Porsche. In short, driving in coasting mode makes a real impact on fuel consumption, without the need to compromise on comfort or sporty performance. Drive  | Transmission
44 Drive  | Chassis 1 2
45 The Cayman chassis has been totally redesigned—the track has been widened and the wheelbase has been extended by 2.4 inches compared with that of the previous model. The changes are part of a comprehensive strategy to match the chassis dynamics with the high power of the new engines. A new independent suspension features lightweight spring-strut axles with longitudinal and transverse links. The crossmember at the front axle has been refined for optimal stiffness and robustness. Axle components are made predominantly of aluminum, which helps to keep the weight of the vehicle and its unsprung masses low. The results are impressive driving dynamics with practically zero pitch and roll, high levels of comfort and safety, and lower fuel consumption. Drive the new Cayman or Cayman S and, compared with the previous generation, you’ll experience greater directional stability, sharper steering, and handling precision taken to a whole new dimension. ­­Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) The optional PASM, the electronic damping-control system, actively and continuously regulates the damping force for each wheel according to road conditions and driving style. In addition, the suspension is 10 mm lower than that of the standard setup. The system is always active in the background, ready to assist you automatically without needing to be switched on. So that you can adapt the car’s handling to suit your preferred driving style, PASM offers two modes at the push of a button: “Normal,” which is a blend of performance and comfort, and “Sport,” where the setup is much firmer. Depending on the mode selected, PASM can be sportier and more comfortable than the standard chassis. The PASM control unit evaluates the driving conditions and modifies the damping force on each of the wheels optimally in accordance with the selected mode. A wider track. A longer wheelbase. You see, we’ve literally taken handling to a new dimension. Chassis. 1 Front axle of the Cayman S 2 Rear axle of the Cayman S
46 Sensors record all wheel and body movements. This enables intelligent adaptation of damper stiffness for the selected mode, optimizing contact between each individual tire and the road for even less roll and pitch. For example, in Sport mode the suspension is set to a harder damper rating. On rough or uneven roads, PASM immediately switches to a softer rating to improve contact between the tires and the road. When the road surface becomes smoother, PASM automatically reverts to the original, harder rating. If Normal mode is selected and the driver’s style becomes more assertive, PASM switches to a harder rating to increase driving stability. Steering The steering system in the new Cayman follows Porsche’s interpretation of efficiency. It’s a system that operates with intelligence, using only what it needs but always instantly responsive to the Drive  | Chassis
47 driver’s need for clear feedback. Unlike a conventional hydraulically assisted steering system that draws engine power continuously, the electric motor of the electromechanical system in the new Cayman models uses energy only when you actually steer. As a result, fuel consumption is reduced and the absence of hydraulic fluid eliminates the need for servicing the system. A variable-steering ratio preserves the Porsche steering feel. The Cayman feels precise and the steering response direct, as the intelligent system filters out unwanted shocks from the road and actively assists steering inputs under braking on road surfaces with varying grip. Power Steering Plus is available as an option. Its speed-sensitive power steering facilitates maneuvering and parking for even greater driving ease.
48 Wheels Performance needs sustained stability. Standard on the new Cayman model are 18-inch alloy wheels that maintain the bond between the vehicle and the road. A minimalist dual-arm spoke design accentuates the sporty character of the wheels. Tire sizes are 235/45 ZR 18 at the front and 265/45 ZR 18 at the rear. The Cayman S comes standard with 19-inch wheels with a classic five-spoke design. The tire size at the front is 235/40 ZR 19 and 265/40 ZR 19 at the rear. Wheels up to 20 inches are available from our list of options. The large rolling circumference helps to improve comfort. At the same time, the rolling resistance of the new generation of tires has been reduced, which, in turn, helps to reduce fuel consumption. Drive  | Chassis
49 1 18-inch Cayman wheel 2 19-inch Cayman S wheel Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sends warnings to the onboard computer’s display screen in the event of low tire pressure. The TFT screen in the instrument cluster enables the driver to check the pressure in all four tires. The system updates quickly and accurately after an engine start, tire- pressure correction, or wheel change— for increased comfort and your safety. 1 2
50 Drive  | Chassis Brakes At Porsche, we’ve always been preoccupied with acceleration. But our engineers have been no less focused on its direct opposite: deceleration. Their aim has been unwavering, and the result is sports cars renowned for short stopping distances and consistent braking response, even under extreme conditions. The new Cayman is equipped with four-piston, aluminum monobloc fixed calipers. The design means the brakes are extremely resistant to deformation. And because the calipers are made from lightweight material, the braking response is fast and the pedal feel is sensitive. A new generation of brake caliper at the front axle, combined with enlarged brake pads and the newly developed brake booster, improves braking and component stability, even during continuous use. Brake cooling is also improved, thanks to the newly developed brake ventilation system that uses a modified air spoiler at the front and rear axles to channel cooling air onto the brake components. The enhanced dynamics of the Cayman and Cayman S also demands appropriate brake discs. All Cayman brake discs are internally vented and cross-drilled for improved braking in wet conditions. With a diameter of 330 mm, the front brake discs of the Cayman S are 15 mm larger than those of the Cayman. The diameter of the rear brake discs is 299 mm on both models. The brake calipers on the Cayman and Cayman S are finished in black and red, respectively. ­­Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) From its earliest engineering development, Porsche has used motorsport as a proving ground. Ever since 1948, when we found our identity on the racetrack, we have taken the experience we have gained and applied it to the road. The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are yet another hard- won trophy we’ve brought back from the track. This brake system has proven itself in the harsh demands of motor racing and is fitted in cars that compete in demanding events such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The cross-drilled PCCB ceramic brake discs for the new Cayman models have a diameter of 350 mm front and rear for even more formidable braking performance. The use of six-piston, aluminum monobloc fixed calipers on the front axle and four- piston units at the rear—all finished in yellow—ensures extremely high brake forces that remain consistent over repeated heavy application. PCCB enables shorter braking distances, even in the toughest road and race conditions. Excellent fade resistance ensures greater balance when slowing from racetrack speeds. The ceramic brake discs are extremely low in weight—approximately 50 percent lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses and translates into a host of benefits, from quicker acceleration and braking to more agile handling and improved fuel economy. 1 Standard brake unit (Cayman) 2 Standard brake unit (Cayman S) 3 ­­Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) It is important to note that circuit racing, track-day use, and other forms of performance driving can significantly reduce the service life of even the most durable pads and discs. As with conventional high-performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake components be professionally inspected and replaced when necessary after each track event.

Electric Parking Brake Cayman features an electric parking brake. It can be activated and deactivated manually, or it releases automatically as you pull away with your seat belt fastened. For a comfortable, smooth, and roll-free start on an incline, a hill-hold function is also standard for both the manual transmission and optional PDK. Here’s how it works: Whenever you come to a halt on an incline, the hill-fold function automatically detects your situation. It then supplements the braking effect of the electric parking brake by applying brake pressure to each wheel. As long as a gear remains engaged, the brake pressure is maintained at all four wheels. To pull away, simply apply throttle. As soon as sufficient starting torque is available, the brake is released and the vehicle moves off. ­­Porsche Stability Management (PSM) Enhanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is standard on Cayman and Cayman S. This system automatically helps to maintain stability and traction, even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity, and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels in order to help restore stability. Under acceleration on wet or low-grip road surfaces, PSM helps to improve traction­ as well as agility, control, and safety using the Automatic Brake Differential (ABD) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR). The integrated Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to minimize braking distances. If you prefer an ever sportier drive, PSM can be switched off. For your safety, however, PSM remains set to intervene if the vehicle is braking and ABS assistance is required. Also included with PSM are Engine Drag Torque Control (EDC), precharging of the brake system, and Brake Assist. If you suddenly release the accelerator pedal, PSM automatically prepares for your next action: The braking system is precharged so that the brake pads are already in light contact with the brake discs and maximum braking power can be achieved much sooner. Brake Assist detects a panic braking situation and generates the brake pressure required for maximum deceleration. PSM increases driving stability and safety as well as the agility you have come to expect from a Porsche. 53
54 ­­Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) This optional system for increasing dynamic performance and stability varies the distribution of torque to the rear wheels and includes a mechanically locking rear differential. When the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, an additional rotational pulse is induced around the vehicle’s vertical axis in the direction of the turn. This results in a direct and sporty steering action as the car enters the corner. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PTV significantly increases agility and steering precision. At high speeds and when accelerating out of corners, the rear differential lock ensures greater driving stability and traction on road surfaces with varying grip, including wet conditions and snow. Drive  | Chassis
55 The results are remarkable stability, optimal traction, and excellent cornering dynamics, coupled with precise steering and stable load-transfer characteristics.

57 Sport Chrono Package In the new Cayman models, the optional Sport Chrono Package provides simultaneous enhancement for the chassis, engine, and transmission— accompanied by an even more emotive sound. All at the push of a button. In addition to the performance display and a digital and analog stopwatch, the Sport Chrono Package includes dynamic gearbox mounts. Another component is the Sport Plus button. When this is pressed, the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) switches to Sport mode for harder damping and more direct steering, and even more intensive roadholding. The trigger threshold for PSM is raised. Agility is perceptibly enhanced when braking for corners with PSM, allowing even sportier braking and exit acceleration. For even greater dexterity, PSM can be set to standby while the car is still in Sport Plus mode. For safety, it is set to intervene automatically only when ABS assistance is required. The throttle-blip function produces even sportier gearshifts. A managed burst of throttle ensures smooth load changes for increased stability and makes the gearshift process an even more engaging experience. In conjunction with the optional PDK, the Sport Chrono Package comes with two additional functions for a sporty drive that borders on a motorsport experience. The first is Launch Control, which is designed to produce a racing start. The second function is the motorsport- derived gearshift strategy. In this mode, PDK is designed for very short shift times and optimal shift points, while torque boosts during gear changes provide the maximum acceleration available. This involving experience is further enhanced by overrun downshifts and the throttle-blip function, for uncompromising driving pleasure. An additional display in the steering wheel and instrument cluster indicates whether the Sport or Sport Plus buttons and, with PDK, Launch Control have been activated. In conjunction with the optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM), a special display enables you to view, store, and evaluate lap times or other driving times. It shows the total driving time, lap distance, lap number, and lap times recorded so far. 1 Sport Chrono display on the PDK steering wheel 2 Sport Chrono stopwatch 3 Sport and Sport Plus buttons
58 Drive  | Chassis Dynamic Gearbox Mounts The optional Sport Chrono Package uses dynamic gearbox mounts. This electronically controlled system minimizes the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine. By adapting stiffness and damping characteristics to changes in driving style and road surface conditions, the dynamic gearbox mounts combine the benefits that otherwise distinguish hard and soft gearbox mounting arrangements. A conventional hard gearbox mounting delivers optimal dynamic performance because it offers a high degree of handling precision. Typical soft gearbox mounts, on the other hand, minimize oscillations and vibrations. While comfort is improved on uneven road surfaces, this comes at the expense of dynamic performance. With the dynamic gearbox mounts, there’s no compromise between permanently hard or soft mounting: The system decides. This has been achieved by the use of a fluid 1 Dynamic gearbox mounts 1
59 with magnetic properties in interaction with an electrically generated field. For the driver, the results are tangible. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load-change conditions and in fast corners. Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic gearbox mounts automatically soften to enhance comfort. You experience the best of the best worlds—uncompromisingly sporty performance in corners, yet with a high degree of comfort. The Sport or Sport Plus button enables you to switch the dynamic gearbox mounts from Normal to Sport or Performance mode. In conjunction with the optional PCM, the TFT screen in the right-hand circular instrument enables you to view the lateral and longitudinal forces as they act on the vehicle.
3 4 2 1 60 Lights A design is often fascinating or functional, but rarely both. The front and rear lights of the new Cayman models are the exception. On the Cayman model, clear glass halogen headlights are standard. On the Cayman S, Bi-Xenon™ headlights come standard. In classic Cayman fashion, the circular front-light units with LED daytime 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 and a longer service life. The taillights also employ LED technology for an unmistakable appearance—day and night. Bi-Xenon™ Headlights Including ­­Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) The optional Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) provides uniform illumination of the road with both low- beam and high-beam lights.

In addition, PDLS adapts light distribution to suit your current driving speed. The adverse weather function is activated when the rear fog light is switched on. Automatic Headlight Activation Automatic headlight activation is available as standard on the new Cayman models. The system uses the ambient lighting conditions to automatically switch between daytime running lights and low beams.
A sports car is ultimately judged not by its limits, but by what it keeps in reserve. Safety and environment.
64 Like every Porsche, the new Cayman employs safety concepts and components that are just as performance-oriented as the drivetrain. On the new Cayman models, this concept includes innovative bodywork construction that is highly rigid despite its having achieved a weight savings of up to 66 pounds compared with the previous model. The inherent stiffness delivers increased stability and agility. It includes a new interior architecture that provides reliable protection in the event of an accident. The new chassis and brakes have been specifically matched to the power output that the new Cayman engines are able to develop. And intelligent control systems, such as Porsche Stability Management (PSM), intervene to help keep you within the limits of sporty performance. All so that you can devote your full attention to the apex of that next corner. Engineered Body Design The bodyshell of the new Cayman models is based on an intelligent lightweight principle involving the composite construction of aluminum and steel. The use of dissimilar but precisely combined components makes it possible to utilize specific material properties exactly where they are needed. Not only does this provide a high degree of safety for the driver—it also offers a considerable weight savings compared with the bodyshell of the previous model. The crumple zones in the front and rear fascias feature integral light-alloy bumpers, while impact absorbers offer additional safety. For the protection of occupants, energy-absorbing padding is used selectively in important areas within the passenger cell. Safety and environment  | Safety By definition, Intelligent Performance demands the highest regard for driving security. Safety.

66 Airbags To protect the driver and passenger, the new Cayman models come standard with full-size airbags, which are inflated in two stages depending on the severity and type of accident (e.g., frontal or offset frontal). In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inflated, thereby minimizing discomfort to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of impact sensors is located near the headlights. This allows a crash to be detected and evaluated far sooner and with considerably greater accuracy. Safety and environment  | Safety
67 ­­Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP) System Both new Cayman models are equipped as standard with the Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system. It comprises two side airbags on each side and knee airbags. An integral thorax airbag is located in the outer side bolster of each seat, while the door panels each contain an upward-inflating head airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume of 2.6 gallons and each head airbag 4.0 gallons, ensuring excellent protection in the event of a side impact. POSIP additionally includes steel side impact protection elements in the doors. Airbags and ­­Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP) system
69 You aren’t the only one looking for ways to improve your performance. In an era of intensifying debate about global climate change and CO2 emissions, automotive manufacturers are among those asking themselves how they can contribute to environmental protection. Our answer has long been the same: Intelligent Performance—a combination of high power output and high efficiency. In recent years, Porsche has increased efficiencies in fuel consumption across all model ranges, even though performance has been increased in every generation. This is made possible by an efficient drive concept, including Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus, a lightweight construction, optimized aerodynamics, and low rolling resistance. The environmental management team at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach demonstrates a high level of environmental responsibility. Here, technological 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 When it comes to sports cars, every gram counts. Especially every gram of CO2 . Environment. goal with Intelligent Performance, as epitomized by the new Cayman. Emissions Control Vehicles manufactured by Porsche demonstrate that even high-performance sports cars can achieve moderate fuel consumption and exhaust emissions values in their respective category. This is accomplished by the use of fuel-efficient technologies such as Auto Start Stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus, and, in conjunction with the optional PDK, coasting mode. The newly developed catalytic converters also provide efficient emissions control, while the stereo lambda control circuitry 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 catalytic converter.
70 Safety and environment  | Environment Fuel Economy and Recycling Intelligent lightweight construction is, and always has been, a fundamental aspect of the Porsche philosophy—for both technical and ecological reasons. This combination 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 aluminum, magnesium, plastics, and super high-strength sheet steel. The materials used have been selected for their ability 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 percent. 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 sustainable manner when possible. All synthetic components are easily recyclable and each material is labeled to facilitate its separation for recycling. The reduction in the number of plastic variants helps to ensure more efficient recycling. Recycled plastics are used when they meet our exacting technical requirements. In short, the new Cayman is approximately 95 percent recoverable. In addition, Porsche uses a high proportion of environmentally friendly water-based paints. For us, environmental protection does not begin with the vehicle manufacturing 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 percent. Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO2 balance since the plants grown for the production of this biofuel also absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. The release of hydrocarbons from the fuel system has been minimized thanks to the active carbon filter and the multilayered material from which the fuel tank is made. Servicing Long service intervals offer clear advantages. 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 service intervals, please contact your local Authorized Porsche dealer.

84 Interior  |  Interior and comfort Cruise Control Cruise control is standard for the new Cayman models. This automatic speed controller 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 Active Safe (PAS) Also available as an option is the enhanced 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 center air intake scans the road ahead up to a distance of 650 feet. 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 throttle 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 decelerate your vehicle accordingly—even down to a halt. For increased safety, 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 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, when necessary, the initiation of targeted braking. During this process, any braking by the driver is boosted to achieve the maximum braking force the system is able to provide. ParkAssist Optional ParkAssist is activated the moment you select Reverse gear. An audible signal gives a warning if you reverse too close to a larger obstacle. An enhanced version of ParkAssist provides monitoring of the area to the front of the vehicle. Ultrasonic sensors are neatly integrated in the front and rear fascias. The audible alert is supplemented by a visual warning in the central display screen of the CDR audio system or optional PCM, showing a graphical representation of the vehicle from overhead. “Welcome Home” Lighting The “Welcome Home” lighting function automatically switches on the LED daytime running lights for a user-defined period whenever the vehicle is opened or closed using the key remote. Anti-Theft Protection The new Cayman models come standard with an engine immobilizer and anti-theft alarm systems with contact-sensitive exterior protection.

Split-screen mode enables you to view two functions at once, such as the current navigation map and a list of symbols that represent the next navigation instruction. The navigation module also features dynamic route guidance, which recalculates the route in response to traffic information in conjunction with SiriusXM® Navigator information. Electronic Logbook An electronic logbook is available for PCM as an option. It automatically logs the mileage, route distance, date, time, starting location, and destination for every journey. After downloading your logbooks from PCM via the USB or Bluetooth® interface, you can evaluate the data on your home PC using the software supplied.
90 Voice-Control System You’re not afraid to say what you want. That’s why almost all of the functions of PCM can be controlled using the optional voice-control system with word- by-word input. In the majority of cases, you can simply say the name of the menu item as seen on the screen. The voice-control system accepts coherent whole-address input of navigation destinations, phonebook entries, or radio station names. It is also possible to scroll through lists by voice command. Telephone Module Available as an option, the quadband GSM telephone module offers convenience and excellent reception. The Bluetooth® capability of a mobile phone can be used to make calls through the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once automatic pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s antenna is switched off to conserve battery charge and the phone operates via the car antenna. Depending on the type of mobile phone, this gives access not only to the numbers on the SIM card, but also to the phone’s internal memory. A selection of mobile phones can be controlled entirely using the optional PCM, the optional multifunction steering wheel, or the optional voice-control system, without the phone ever leaving your pocket. The telephone module also enables you to establish a Bluetooth® link with those mobile phones that only support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). In this case, the GSM connection is always established through the antenna of the mobile phone. PCM acts as a hands-free system, and you can leave the mobile phone tucked away. On request, a cordless handset for the telephone module is also available. Stored in the center console storage compartment, it features a display and keypad. However, the handset cannot be used for Bluetooth® links established using the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). Mobile Phone Preparation Mobile phone preparation enables a Bluetooth® connection for those mobile phones that support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP).* This function also enables you to leave your mobile phone tucked away. The CDR audio system and PCM are able to control only the basic functions of the mobile phone. The GSM connection is established through the mobile phone’s antenna. Online Services With our new online services option and the free-to-download Aha® Radio app, you can use your smartphone to stream Internet radio, news feeds, podcasts, and audiobooks directly to the optional PCM. It is also possible to call up local information such as weather reports. Point of Interest searches with subsequent direct selection as your navigation destination are also supported. Online content is received by your smartphone and controlled by means of PCM. Online services can be used only in conjunction with the universal audio interface fitted as standard (iPhone® ) or with the optional mobile phone preparation or telephone module (Android® devices). The Aha® Radio app can be downloaded from iTunes® and Google Play™ (formerly Android® Market). 1 Cayman with ­­Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and other optional equipment Interior  |  Audio and communication

93 Sound Package Plus For discerning ears, the optionally available Sound Package Plus offers an enhanced sound experience with nine speakers and a total output of 235 watts. You can adjust sound characteristics to your preference using the CDR audio system or optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM). Bose® Surround Sound System The optional Bose® Surround Sound System really strikes a chord. Developed specifically for Porsche and optimally tuned for the interior of the new Cayman models, it can be combined with the optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM) or the CDR audio system. The Bose® Surround Sound System comprises eight amplifier channels with a total output of 445 watts. Its 10 loudspeakers, including an active subwoofer integrated in the vehicle bodyshell behind the dashboard, deliver a balanced acoustic pattern. In combination with the optional PCM, the Bose® Surround Sound System enables audio playback of DVDs and is thus able to make full use of the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you can still play other audio sources, such as CDs and MP3s, in stereo or, at the push of a button, in one of the virtual surround modes generated by Bose® Centerpoint® 2. The Bose® -patented AudioPilot® Noise Compensation Technology 1 Bose® Surround Sound System uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback instantly and automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained— whatever the driving conditions. The result is a balanced, faithfully reproduced sound and a captivating 360° acoustic experience.
94 1 Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System Any car manufacturer can integrate a sound system into a vehicle. Why not go one step further and embed the driver into a sound system? That was the aspiration for the collaboration between Porsche and Burmester® . Conceived and tuned specifically for the new Cayman, the optional Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System is high-end technology “made in Germany.” The components used in the audio system of the new Cayman are as sophisticated as the ones Burmester® puts into its high-end home audio systems. How do the numbers sound? Twelve amplifier channels with a total output of 821 watts and twelve loudspeakers, including an active subwoofer. A particularly special feature is the integration of the active subwoofer in the bodyshell. Not only does this provide ideal conditions for the sound—it is consistent with the principles of lightweight construction. In terms of in-car audio fidelity, the system breaks new ground. The analog and digital filters of the system’s crossover technology have been optimally defined for their installation location and finely tuned following extensive in-car audio testing. The perfect interaction of all loudspeaker chassis delivers superior bass foundation, definition, and impulse accuracy. The result is a natural and richly textured spatial sound, even at top volume. Thanks to intelligent Burmester® lightweight technology, powerful performance is achieved despite the system’s remarkably low overall weight. The stunning design of the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System makes it clear that its appeal derives equally from its style and substance. Which is precisely what could be said of the new Porsche Cayman. Interior  |  Audio and communication
