The previous generation Porsche Cayman was known for its handling prowess and the new 7. Cayman takes it to another level with firmer springs and sway bars, retuned shock absorbers, and wider rear tires to improve lateral grip and tracking stability. The steering rack has a 1. Turbo, enhancing agility as well as driving pleasure. For additional driving pleasure, the Sport Chrono package and Porsche Torque Vectoring PTV are also available. Significantly larger cooling air intakes and HID headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights complete the new front fascia. The redesigned rear fascia appears wider than before due to the high gloss black accent strip with an integrated Porsche logo. Inside, Google Street View graphics and Apple Car. Play are both available. Safety The 2. 01. Cayman standard safety features include antilock brakes, traction and stability control, driver and passenger front, side, head, and knee airbags, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. Porsches Side Impact Protection System is comprised of side impact protection elements in the doors, including the side and head airbags previously mentioned. The Porsche Car Connect option adds emergency telephone assistance when paired to a smartphone. What We Think. Our first driving impressions of the 7. Boxster and 7. 18 Cayman were very positive. In the First Drive review of the 7. Cayman, we missed the signature sound of Porsches flat six engine but was impressed with the power and speed the new and more efficient powertrains deliver. Unlike its competitors, the 7. Cayman offers a deep front luggage compartment. Porsches pricing on the 7. Cayman and 7. 18 Boxster is finally a bit more conventional, with the Cayman coupe priced below the Boxster roadster. Look for at least one lower volume, high performance model above the 3. Cayman before long. Cool Fact. Due to the cars increased performance, the 7. Cayman uses brakes from the previous Cayman S, andthe 7. Cayman S is equipped with the four piston calipers of the 9. Carrera. Key Competitors Show Full Review.
