The optional PDLS Porsche Dynamic Cornering Bi-Xenon headlights offer exceptional brightness, even in challenging conditions. The light beam pattern actually adjusts from side to side depending on speed and steering wheel movement to light up round a corner increasing your line of sight at night.

“On the road, the new Porsche Cayman S is brilliant; smooth, responsive, fast, precise and always so absorbing. Guiding the Cayman from corner to corner is an immersive pleasure. There’s a little roll, but only at high effort levels, where it serves to remind you gently that you’re approaching the limits, exactly as a road car should. The car’s cornering balance is near-perfect: neutral but unerringly predictable on a balanced throttle, and biased ever so slightly towards understeer if you throttle up before you begin easing the lateral load out of the front tyres. The new Cayman S is a cutting-edge concoction of aluminium and hot-formed, high-strength steel and should be 30kg lighter than its predecessor, model for model. Crucially, it’s stiffer than the previous generation of Porsche Cayman, too, to the remarkable tune of 40 per cent.”
Autocar, 2013

Background
The Porsche 981 is the internal designation given to the third-generation Porsche Cayman models built by Porsche, released in summer 2012. The 981 reflects the new design language from the 918 Spyder and 991 series 911, and features new and revised engine and transmission specifications. Together with a new body, the type 981 features a new chassis; 40 per cent more torsionally rigid, the front track is 40mm wider, the rear 18mm wider and the wheelbase extended by 60mm, but with a small weight reduction of 30kg. The 981 Cayman is the last to feature a boxer six-cylinder engine. The engine does away with the Intermediate Shaft, which proved to be a weak link in pre-2009 Cayman engines.

Exterior
Our hand selected Cayman S looks stunning in its glossy coat of Guards Red, an iconic Porsche colour. The striking 20-inch Carrera S lightweight alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black with coloured Porsche crests are the perfect contrast to the Guards Red paintwork. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and rear lights. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should.

Interior
The optional extended black leather interior covers the dashboard, centre console and door cards. The Cayman S comes with hard back sports seats that have 3-stage seat heating and electric backs. All of the interior leathers are in excellent condition and provide a perfect contrast to the Guards Red bodywork. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the optional Guards Red trim parts, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout. The sleek aesthetic is topped-off with features like the PCM 3.1 touchscreen system that controls many optional features of the car (Navigation, BOSE Digital Surround System, DAB, DVD DOLBY 5.1 playback, Jukebox music storage of 10,000 tracks, Phone connectivity, Bluetooth® music streaming, music interface).

Engine and Transmission
Our Cayman S is equipped with the 3.4 litre DFI flat six engine. The Cayman S engine produces 320bhp and 273ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 45:55 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running.

The 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. It has four selectable modes, Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Full Manual Shifting. The combination of Sport Chrono Package Plus, Sport Design Steering Wheel with PDK shift paddles and the PCM 3.1 system, unlock additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes only available on the Cayman S with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the Cayman S to accelerate faster, 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds instead of 4.6 seconds.

Our Cayman S is equipped with the highly desired Porsche Switchable Exhaust (PSE) system, which unleashes a more sporty sound both on acceleration and lift off. With SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode enabled, the sound increases further, with pops and crackles when you lift off the throttle.

This Cayman S has the PADM dynamic engine/transmission mounts, which electronically control the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine. By adapting stiffness and damping characteristics to changes in driving style and road surface conditions, the dynamic gearbox mounts combine the benefits that otherwise distinguish hard and soft gearbox mounting arrangements. For the driver, the results are tangible. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load-change conditions and in fast corners. Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic gearbox mounts automatically soften to enhance comfort. You experience the best of the best worlds—uncompromisingly sporty performance in corners, yet with a high degree of comfort. The Sport or Sport Plus button enables you to switch the dynamic gearbox mounts from Normal to Sport or Performance mode. In conjunction with the optional PCM, the TFT screen in the right-hand circular instrument enables you to view the lateral and longitudinal forces as they act on the vehicle.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our Cayman comes fitted with the 20-inch Carrera S lightweight alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black, which are unmarked, free of kerbing damage and corrosion. The brakes are phenomenal, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear. The front and rear brake pads have just been replaced. The tyres are matching Porsche N rated high performance tyres with lots of tread remaining.
