Porsche Cayman

Porsche Cayman features the boxer engines guaranteed to deliver more power on less fuel. The 2,9 litre engine develops 265 bph and the 3,4 litre engine with direct fuel injection delivers 320 bph.
Porsche Cayman has an engine displacing 2,9 litres which develops 265 bhp, an increase by twenty horsepower over the prior 2,7 litre model.
The 3,4 litre power unit in the Porsche Cayman S now features Direct Fuel Injection, and delivers 320 bhp (235 kW), up by 25 bhp. These developments see the engines fitted to the Porsche Cayman and "S" coupes offering more horsepower than those in the Boxster roadster.

 


The new 2,9 litre engine of the Porsche Cayman clearly breaks through the 30 mpg fuel consumption boundary. 31.0 mpg (9.1 litres/100km) is approximately 10 % better than the previous model with the Tiptronic S automatic transmission.

Increasing fuel economy by an even more significant 15 % to 30.1 mpg (9.4 litres/100km), the 3,4 litre Cayman S with PDK offers an even greater saving over its predecessor with Tiptronic S.
In parallel with the improvement in fuel economy so emissions of the engines have decreased also. Depending on model emissions have been reduced by up to 16 %.
 

Porsche Cayman has 6 speed manual gearbox emits 221g/km CO2 and 214g/km CO2 when fitted with PDK. Porsche Cayman emits 223g/km CO2 and 221g/km CO2 with PDK.


These developments move every Porsche Cayman whether manual or PDK into Band F for Vehicle Excise Duty and company car taxation purposes.

The driver benefits from a further advantage of direct injection every time they touch the throttle pedal. The fuel being injected fractions of a sec prior to combustion. The engine responds more directly and spontaneously to even the slightest movement of the right foot of the driver.

The fuel of the Porsche Cayman is injected into the combustion chamber at a pressure of 120 bar. The big advantage is that unlike conventional intake manifold injection, direct fuel injection serves to form the fuel/air mixture directly in the combustion chamber.

This better mixes the air and fuel in the cylinder, establishing an important prerequisite for clean and complete combustion. This ensures the homogeneous operation of the power unit with a consistent balance of the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber at all times and under all running conditions. Such smooth operation guarantees optimum combustion and maintains low emissions.
