Porsche Cayman

Introduction

The Porsche Cayman is a back mid-motor, back wheel drive 2-seat extravagance sports auto created by Porsche AG of Germany. Initially dispatched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a car got from Porsche's second and third era Boxster roadster. Audits of the original Cayman were just about consistently positive, however all things considered, the 2009-'12 bunch is the place it’s at for grip unwilling customers. The present, second-era Cayman characteristics crisper outer surface styling and an extensively wealthier inside than the first, however its execution is just incrementally better; it is difficult to enhance close flawlessness. Electric-support force controlling makes a big appearance on this Cayman, giving up a bit of street feel, yet staying a standout amongst the most satisfying tillers in the business. The auto is somewhat more and lower now, with an extended wheelbase underneath and more extensive tracks front and back. Commendably, Porsche claims a weight diminishment of 55 pounds for the Cayman S.

The all-new 2014 Cayman weighs less and is more productive than its antecedent, and force is up marginally. It additionally gets a wealthier inner part. To see the 2014 model's specs contrasted and the 2012 (the Cayman skirted the 2013 model year). The overhauled 2014 Porsche Cayman is a bigger number of extravagant than its ancestor, yet execution auto idealists will regret its weakened guiding feel. The Cayman is Porsche's entrance level roadster, on the off chance that you can call an auto that begins at $53,550 (counting a $950 end charge) section level.

Models and Features

There are three trim levels for the current Cayman: base, S and GTS. The base Cayman accompanies a 2.7-liter evenly restricted six-chamber motor ("level 6") that is useful for 275 strength, crossing the propitious 100 drive/L limit. The Cayman S packs a 3.4-liter level 6 evaluated at 325 pull, while the GTS's 3.4-liter level 6 makes 340 hp. A six-velocity manual transmission is standard over the lineup, with Porsche's seven-pace double grip mechanized manual (known as PDK) offered as a choice. All models are equipped for 30 mpg or all the more on the expressway. A base Cayman with no choices means you're screwed over thanks to a faltering four-speaker stereo, yet other standard gimmicks are all the more engaging, including 18-inch wheels with summer tires, a naturally developing back spoiler and a 7-inch touchscreen.

The Cayman S includes advantages like greater wheels, bi-xenon headlights, and nine-speaker stereo and improved entertainment capacities. The GTS is recognized by remarkable styling components, a sportier inner part, dynamic transmission mounts and some overall discretionary electronic driving supports. It goes without saying that the choices rundown is long, beautiful and brimming with eye-popping stickers.

Options and Packages

A side profit of the Cayman's mid-motor format is its front and back load regions. The cargo space under the back hatch measures 9.7 cubic feet. The consolidated payload volume is more than some minimized vehicles offer. The front trunk is around 1.5-feet profound, and delicate sided baggage, in the same way as duffel sacks, would capitalize on the space. The two-seat lodge's styling is like the Boxster's, emphasizing the same move through focus support and dashboard. The gages incorporate a 4.6-inch screen in the rightmost gage with outing machine capacities and an optional presentation for the discretionary route framework. The standard stereo has a dashboard touch-screen, with Burmester sound discretionary. The standard game seats have power chairs, with full-control conformities discretionary. Different alternatives incorporate calfskin wrapped dashboard and keyless access. The 2014 Cayman's new sheet metal comprises of steel and aluminum pieces, and the auto's general control weight is down 44 to 66 pounds, contingent upon the trim level. Like the Boxster, the new Cayman's outer surface outline expands upon recognizable styling, instead of striking out in an alternate configuration heading. The auto's wheelbase is up 2.4 inches, and both axles have a more extensive track. Eighteen, 19- and 20-inch wheels are accessible.

The Cayman's mid-motor design enhances weight circulation and improves reasonableness, as the auto has front and back gear compartments that measure 5.3 and 9.7 cubic feet, separately. The last figure is up about a large portion of a cubic foot in the course of the last Cayman's trunk.

Under the Hood

The base Cayman is controlled by a 275-pull, 2.7-liter level six motor while the S adaptation gets a 325-hp, 3.4-liter level six; force is up 10 drive and 5 torque, separately. Both motors utilize immediate infusion and auto-stop frameworks out of gear. As some time recently, the motor is mounted behind the seats, and force is encouraged to the back wheels through a six-pace manual or a seven-velocity double grip programmed transmission. The Cayman's standard Sport mode revives drive train reaction, while a discretionary Sport Chrono bundle incorporates much speedier moving in addition to dispatch control. Porsche says it can shave 0.2 second off the Cayman's 0-to-60 time.

The Cayman can quicken from zero to 60 mph in 5.1 to 5.4 seconds, contingent upon transmission and other gear, while the S can sprint to 60 mph in 4.4 to 4.7 seconds, as indicated by Porsche.

Fuel Economy

For a games auto, the Caymans' gas mileage evaluations have dependably been great, and they're stunningly better for 2014. It gets an EPA-assessed 21/30/24 mpg city/interstate/joined with the seven-pace double grip programmed transmission and 20/28/23 mpg with the manual. The joined rating for both is 1 mpg higher than some time recently. I got around 20 mpg in our manual-transmission test auto in blended suburban and roadway driving. Manual-transmission renditions of contenders like the 2014 BMW M235i and 2014 Lotus Evora are evaluated 19/28/23 mpg and 18/26/21 mpg, separately, and the programmed just 2015 Jaguar F-Type car gets 20/28/23 mpg.

Safety Ratings and Technology

All-plate non-freezing stopping devices and an electronic dependability framework are standard. The Cayman S gets bigger plates, the same as those on the 911 Carrera. A forward crash cautioning framework with programmed braking is discretionary. The 2014 Cayman hadn't been accident tried by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as of production. As it is a low-volume sports auto, its unrealistic to be tried at whatever time soon.

The discretionary reinforcement cam costs $1,515 and incorporates front and back stopping sensors. A forward crash cautioning framework that can independently brake the auto to keep away from an impact is piece of the $2,170 versatile voyage control framework, which is just accessible on programmed transmission models.
