The first Porsche Cayman

The Porsche Cayman 987 was born in 2005 and was known internally at Porsche as the 987c. At the Boxster was already a success for Porsche as a mid-engined roadster. No wonder, then, that the Cayman 987 used largely the same technical basis. the same technical basis. One immediately striking difference to the Boxster is the fixed roof. In this respect, this model was also sporty positioning, this model was intended for all fans of the Porsche brand for whom dynamic driving pleasure is more important than open cruising. To the sporty character, the Cayman 987 was offered in a first S version with 295 hp. From 2006 there was to be a "weaker" version with 245 hp, a "weaker" version for beginners. The first major model update dates back to 2009, with an increase in engine power. an increase in power was also implemented. The Cayman 987 was produced between 2005 and 2013. 2012 saw the launch of the 981C, the successor model. successor model was launched in 2012.

The Porsche Cayman 987 has everything a sports car needs

Two sporty seats, compact dimensions, a dynamic six-cylinder in the middle of the car and appealing handling are the essential characteristics that have made the Cayman 987 a sales success. Thanks to the stiffer body, the Cayman 987 impresses in comparison to the Boxster with very precise and agile handling. A glance at the technical details makes it clear that the Cayman 987 is only inferior to its big brother the 911 in only a few aspects. That is why it was and is an attractive alternative for many car lovers as a used car, especially since the prices are significantly lower than those of the Porsche 911. prices are considerably more moderate than those of the Porsche 911. For orientation: At the market launch in 2005, a base price of just under 59,000 euros.

Cayman 987: Models and development

Until 2012, this successful model was built mainly in Urusikaupunki, Finland, by Valmet Automotive on behalf of Porsche. At the end of 2012 production was transferred to the Volkswagen plant near Osnabrück. The Cayman S differed from the basic version by the following features:

Series 18-inch tyres
Double tailpipe
6-speed gearbox
Red-painted brake callipers (black anodised on the base version)
318 mm diameter front brake discs (298 mm on the base version)

The Cayman S achieved international success in 2007 when it won the "World Performance Car" award. In that year, the Cayman 987 was thus able to relegate competitor models such as the BMW M5 or the Audi RS4 to the rear places. From 2007, an aero kit was available for the exterior of the Cayman 987 was available for the exterior, which was subjected to extensive tests in the wind tunnel. This allowed the drag coefficient to be lowered, which also required a reduction in lift. An aerodynamically optimised rear end provided new, characterful accents in terms of design. A fixed rear breakaway edge was intended to contribute to improved driving stability. As far as engine power was concerned, customers could choose between 295 hp and 245 hp (later also 265 hp with a displacement of 2.9 litres) for the basic version. For newer models in this range, 320 hp was also available. were also available. The following special models appeared:

2007: Cayman S Design Edition
2008: Cayman S Sport
2011: Cayman S Black Edition
2011: Cayman R

Porsche Cayman 987 Design Edition 1

Under the name Design Edition 1, Porsche is presenting a limited special model of the Cayman in November 2007. The Boxster equivalent appears under the name Design Edition 2. In keeping with the name, the special features are essentially found in the design area. Both the exterior and the interior of this special model have special design features. The occasion for the Porsche Design Editions is the anniversary of the Porsche Design Chronograph, which appeared 35 years before the model. Porsche Design produced the legendary automatic chronograph with its iconic dial design together with Orfina in 1972. The round instruments of the Cayman special model are reminiscent of the chronograph dial in their orientation, colour scheme and design. The classic sporty elegance of the watch is also reflected in these design parameters in the Cayman Design Edition 1. In general, the colour design lives from the interplay of black and cleverly used red elements. In terms of materials, Porsche relies on leather and non-slip Alcantara for the interior. Furthermore, the Cayman Design Edition 1 is equipped with a wide range of special technical features. The special model is equipped ex works with Porsche's Suspension Management System (PASM), with which the hardness of the dampers can be regulated. A Sport mode enables a more dynamic driving style. The sporty claim is complemented by the standard 19-inch wheels. Furthermore, Porsche has lowered the body of the Design Edition 1 by about 10 millimetres compared to the conventional Cayman of the year of manufacture (2007).

As a special gimmick, Porsche includes a briefcase with the Design Edition 1, which is filled with other noble accessories. These include a Porsche Design chronograph (Flat Six model), sunglasses, a key ring and a pocket knife. All these accessories are in the colour black, including the blade of the pocket knife. Porsche was only to produce 777 examples of the Cayman Design Edition 1. The badge on the glove compartment lid shows the respective run number of the copy.

Porsche Cayman 987 S Sport

As the Porsche Cayman S Sport, Porsche introduces a special model in 2008 in August, limited to 700 units. It belongs to the first Cayman model series, type 987c. Its basis is the Cayman S of the same year of manufacture. However, the special variant has an engine output increased by 8 hp (6 kW). This means that the Cayman S Sport offers 303 hp (223 kW), which is available at 6,250 rpm. Porsche realises the additional power in this special model through a modified sports exhaust system. Visually, the 2008 Cayman S Sport is based on the Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RS. The car comes with numerous equipment extras as standard, including the Porsche Sport Chrono Package. The Cayman S Sport also comes with the option of a ceramic brake system taken from the 997 GT2.

Porsche Cayman 987 Black Edition

As a limited special edition of the Cayman S, Porsche offers the Black Edition. This edition continues a tradition that also exists with special equipment variants of the 911 Carrera and the Porsche Boxster. What the Black Edition models have in common is increased engine power and more extensive equipment. The colour black dominates as a special design feature. This is consistent throughout the exterior and interior. Typical features are black-painted alloy wheels, black air intakes and black exhaust system tailpipes. The black scheme is also continued in the interior. The door sills, trim panels and dials of the round instruments are consistently kept in black. What Black Edition models have in common is their limited edition. The 2011 Cayman Black Edition, for example, has a 10 hp performance upgrade and is limited to 500 units. A glove compartment badge indicates the respective copy.

For the Black Edition special series, Porsche also offers extended technical and comfort equipment. There are different equipment packages that either emphasise comfort or design or infotainment more strongly. Porsche Communication Management (PCM), for example, includes a navigation system, parking assistant (front and rear) and cruise control. A dual-zone air conditioning system provides cooling. Furthermore, bi-xenon headlights are always part of the standard equipment of the Black Edition (including cornering lights).

Porsche Cayman 987 R

Under the designation Cayman R, Porsche is presenting a performance-enhanced and weight-reduced special model at the LA Auto Show in 2010. The Cayman R is based on the Cayman S, but with 330 hp (243 kW) it offers a power increase of 10 hp (8 kW) compared to the S. Similarly, the R is 55 kilograms lighter than the Cayman S. This results in a significantly improved power-to-weight ratio, giving the Cayman R powerful acceleration and high driving dynamics. With optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK), the Cayman R accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in just 4.7 seconds (in 5 seconds with regular 6-speed manual transmission). Its top speed of 282 kilometres per hour is higher than that of the standard model (277 kilometres per hour). To make the power-to-weight ratio drivable, the Cayman R still has a specially tuned sports suspension. The Cayman R is thus 20 millimetres lower than a Cayman S. The suspension is complemented by generously dimensioned tyres (235x35 ZR19 on the front axle and 265x35 ZR19 on the rear axle).

Optically, the Cayman R is distinguished from the Cayman S by a number of modifications compared to the standard model. It has a fixed rear spoiler, larger front spoiler lips and a black surround on the front headlights. The Cayman R's doors are borrowed from the Porsche 911 Turbo. They are made of aluminium. Likewise, the front bonnet of the car is made of aluminium. This contributes to weight reduction. The deliberately reduced equipment also contributes to this goal. In the Cayman R, for example, Porsche does without some insulation material, door shelves and cup holders. Furthermore, lightweight sports bucket seats are fitted as standard. Instead of classic door openers, the Cayman R has textile loops. These are also used in the Porsche GT3 RS. Porsche also omits features such as air conditioning, radio and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) from the standard Cayman R model. However, these extras are available on request.
