The new version Cayman - 2007
Porsche Cayman a mid-engine sports coupe is based on the Boxster
series, the two-seater is powered by a six-cylinder boxer engine
with an engine-capacity of 2.7 liters and 245 bhp (180 kW).
With its high and sustained propulsive power in the lower and medium
speed ranges, the engine puts in an impressive performance. It has a
top speed of 258 kilometers per hour. This sports car with manual
transmission accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. The
Cayman is convincing proof of the fact that outstanding performance
statistics do not necessarily mean high fuel consumption. According

100 kilometers, best in luxury class. The 2007 Cayman S has manual
transmission and zips from 0 to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds.

Thanks to the Porsche VarioCam Plus system the Cayman affords a
torque of 273 Newton meters available between 4,600 and 6,000 revs.
Power is transmitted via a five-speed manual transmission with
short, precise shifting travel. A six-speed manual transmission in
conjunction with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
system is also available on request. As a third variant, Porsche
offers its customers the well-known Tiptronic S five-speed automatic
transmission, which has rocker switches in the steering-wheel spokes
for sporty gear shifting.
The Cayman coasts along on 17-inch light-alloy wheels boasting a
unique design with five double spokes. 205/55 tires are fitted as
standard onto 6.5-inch wide wheel rims at the front; the combination
at the rear is 235/50 tires on 8-inch rims. With the Porsche
Stability Management (PSM) system fitted as standard, the chassis
makes an impressive impact in terms of driving dynamics and active
safety.
The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system is available
as an optional extra. The system is capable of lowering the body by
ten millimeters, and automatically adapts the shock-absorber system
to each particular driving situation. The driver can choose between
the “normal” and “sport” programs by pressing a button on
the center console
