The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany. The Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche’s second generation Boxster convertible.

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.

The headlights feature a brand new design. Both Porsche Cayman 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.

Precisely one attitude is the driving force behind the Porsche 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.

Both Cayman models are equipped with brand engine developments, but have retained the familiar layout: six horizontally opposed cylinders.

The 2.9-litre engine of the Cayman delivers 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. The maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm.

The engine of the Cayman S has a 3.4-litre capacity and, for the first time, direct fuel injection (DFI). Power output is 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm. Maximum torque: 370 Nm at 4,750 rpm.

Available as an option for the Cayman models are Bi-Xenon headlights including dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights. Bi-Xenon headlights are around twice as powerful as halogen headlights so they offer improved visibility and they 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.

The optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), with both manual gearshift and an automatic mode, enables smooth gear changes with no interruption in the flow of power. This results in significantly faster acceleration and lower fuel consumption

The Porsche Cayman models feature as standard a three-spoke sports steering wheel with fullsize airbag. The steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach and the rim is in smooth-finish leather. As an option, you can specify a threespoke multifunction steering wheel in leather with integrated buttons for the most essential audio and, where applicable, navigation and telephone functions. Alternatively, the multifunction steering wheel is available in smooth-finish leather, Aluminium Look, carbon or macassar wood.
