Reaching maximum speed with Cayman

In comparison of the engine, The Porsche Cayman is positioned between the Boxster and 911.  Still, it has its own different personality.  It is snappier, simpler, and not burdened by heavy weight hanging out the back and the necessity to manage the effect of that weight.

The Cayman is precisely a two-seater because the engine sits where the rear seats might otherwise be.  This means that the engine is not quite readily accessible, though there’s a way into the oil filler via the boot.  Under that long tailgate, is revealed a generous luggage area to supplement the front 911/Boxster-sized boot.  Like all of the Porsche, the Cayman isn’t massive, which makes it very practical and usable.  And for all its obvious Boxster genes, the Cayman is pretty much its own vehicle with its curvaceous rear wings and neat fastback roof.  As with other Porsches, there’s a portable rear spoiler, which employs above 120km/h.

Going back to were we started, the engine, the Cayman has 3.4 litres, a mix of the cylinder barrels of a 911 with the crankshaft of a Boxster.  A 911 engine is of 3.6 or 3.8 liters and a Boxster S has a 3.2-litre engine.  It’s a bizarre thing, but although today’s Porsche engines are water-cooled, they overlay their intake and exhaust notes with a breathy whine like that of the giant air-cooling fans of old. 

Basically, the Cayman is a mixture and it does not have a huge number of unique and new parts.  Briefly the Cayman is a structure two and a half times stiffer because it’s just a Boxster with a roof.  In turn, that means that the driving experience becomes much more centered because its suspension can have tauter, sportier setting.

Porsche Cayman reaches a maximum speed of 275 km/h and gets from nil to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, whether or not the fuel thirst is low for such pace.  The Cayman is particularly good with the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management ( PASM ), but unlike a 911, it works very well enough without it, courtesy of a ride that’s’s firm but infrequently turbulent.  PASM makes the Cayman sit 10mm lower, and in its Sport mode it tightens the damping.  And it feels fully fantastic when you have the Chrono option ( complete with stopwatch for timing your hot laps ) .

Bottom line, Porsche Cayman is an extraordinary illustration of a firm, solid-roofed bodyshell’s advantages.  The Cayman S has all the positive Porsche attributes you could want, and not one of the snags.  It is not the fastest Porsche, not the fiercest, not the most breathtaking.  It’s a pooling of other Porsche parts, which suggests that the Cayman isn’t costly to develop but it’ll generate giant profits.  The new auto, by the way, takes its name not from a tax-haven archipelago, but from a kind of crocodile.
