Porsche Cayman 2008

DESIGN

A single glance is all it takes to recognise a Porsche Cayman. Look a little closer at the Cayman S, and you’ll find a character that is all its own. Sinuous, muscular, from front to rear, it is poised and ready to perform. Its energy and potential are immediately expressed in the dynamic interplay of concave and convex surfaces.

DRIVE

The heart and soul of any sportscar is, above all, the engine. In the Porsche Cayman S, it’s in the right place: directly at the centre of the car. With the engine revving directly behind, the relationship is almost symbiotic. Every input is eagerly met with a precise and emphatic response. The power is accompanied by a sound experience that is only possible in a mid-engined car. Another mark of uncompromising engineering, it too is instantly Porsche.

CHASSIS

A car with the potential of the Porsche Cayman S requires a carefully balanced chassis.On the one hand, it must be direct and responsive; on the other, both comfortable and informative.In every moment, there must be a positive connection between driver, car and road. When you turn the wheel, your input is conveyed with ease, immediacy and precision. The result is a drive that is inspirational and rewarding. That too is instantly Porsche.

SAFETY

Performance is crucial in a genuine sportscar. But then so are all aspects of safety. At Porsche, we believe that nothing is more important than this balance of power and control. The stability of a car is inextricably linked with its engine and chassis performance. Neither can be considered in isolation. Neither is complete on its own. In the Cayman S, we’ve used a comprehensive range of protective features that are designed around the driver and passenger. Inherent within them are the very highest standards of active and passive safety. Only then do we arrive at a car that is, in all regards, instantly Porsche. COMFORT Some say comfort is unnecessary in a sportscar. For us, it’s another aspect of performance. When a car is as capable as the Cayman S, why compromise on your enjoyment? With this in mind, we’ve applied Porsche engineering principles to find the optimum blend of interior materials and cockpit ergonomics. We’ve also incorporated all of those features that make driving such a pleasure. This unique combination of comfort and functionality is an integral part of the Cayman S experience. The result is a car that defies categorisation. Except, of course, that it’s a Porsche.
