Press Launch Porsche Cayman P: Snapp

No one is too much, but when I went to two dozen laps around the course at Palma in Majorca from the Caymann R, I had weak knees. Not that he had given me on the narrow and twisty circuit problems. Quite the contrary: He ate the curves faster than it would in my experience may be. Even before that, on the tight bends in the north of the island was clear.

The habitat of the Porsche Cayman is the R curve. Although no one will complain about the straight, but that's just this for him but no more than the content ziwschen two curves, preferably switchbacks. From which he draws with its 370 Nm of torque quickly and without any noticeable body roll up to the next bend.

With the following in the north of Majorca so quickly to each other, you can not even in second gear, the maximum speed of 7200 revolutions per minute achieved what would be the optimal point to switch to full power in third gear. Lower center of gravity, stiffer springs had against the Cayman S has again been tightened suspension with thicker stabilizers pay off on those occasions.

Also, the light has an effect. The R is 55 kilograms lighter than the S. For this, you find yourself in a Porsche purist ratios cockpit again, was at the even dispensed with the radio (three kilograms). The air conditioning is lacking in the basic version (15 kilograms). Who else wants to save more weight, the lithium ion battery starter (1904 €) to buy.

Will take again 13 to 15 kilograms. The bucket seats save considerably in weight, which does not lead to an unpleasant feeling when sitting. You glide between the high cheeks, the seats welded to the body of the car. No question - the amazing duck transverse momentum comes as the right side guide on board.

Those who save as much weight, accelerated the advance more than the 10 additional horsepower, the R has over the Cayman S on board. His flat-six makes 243 kW / 330 PS. Consumption is still (on average, according to EU norm) less than ten liters of premium plus. The sound acoustically but provides more than ten horsepower.

The six cylinder tubes vigorously, just as you would like to have a Porsche. The Porsche engineers also give because they have made efforts in R is a plus in acoustics. In general, one gets the impression that they love their smallest coupe. I can feel good. Not even with the fast-accelerating version of the Porsche double-clutch gearbox (3147.55 €) in the sport mode and the Sports Chrono Package (1225 euros) and the Sport Plus button with Launch Control (1030 €), I had have the impression that the limits of the Cayman experienced it to or even exceeded.

Do I have to yes maybe not. Even if the boundary is not reached, you can understand those who will choose a Cayman for at least satisfy at least R 69 830 € with the six-speed manual switch. This coupe has to be classified under the category "Toys for the Boys." He is a toy for all boys and girls who like to drive slow routes quickly.

Its top speed of 280 km / h changes nothing in the fun for curves. Interestingly therefore the value for the acceleration: 5.0 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and 17.2 seconds to 200 km / h (with PDK and Launch Control a bit faster). Incidentally, the adrenaline, as I experienced it, is not in the base price.

It is up to themselves what he expects himself and the car. Because the margin for the toy is great. He can even slide. The seats lean and hard suspension are also not killjoys. With its two trunks (front 150 liters, 260 liters rear) it is even suitable for the holiday. He gets the front and the rear trunk.

Then it fits, if you know how much the passenger to withstand lateral acceleration - certainly less than the Cayman R.
