Braking system.
The acceleration of the Cayman
models is impressive. Even
more impressive, perhaps, is the
vehicle's maximum braking power,
which comfortably tames the
power of the engine.
Four-piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers are fitted front and
rear. Offering excellent rigidity,
they are compact and save on
weight. Their superior responsive-
ness, for fast and sensitive
braking, sets them apart. A brake
booster provides assistance,
reducing pedal effort whilst main-
taining a powerful braking effect.
A special ventilation system,
whereby the entire wheel brake
is supplied with cooling air
by openings in the front end and
special channelling systems,
increases the stability of
the brakes during heavy use.
The front axle of the Cayman
and Cayman S features internally
vented brake discs with a diameter
of 318 mm. 299 mm brake
discs are fitted to the rear axle.
The result is outstanding braking
performance. The rear brake discs
of the Cayman S are 4 mm thicker
than those of the Cayman, which
increases stability under load
even further. To distinguish them
visually, the brake calipers on the
Cayman have a black anodised
finish while those on the Cayman S
are painted red.
For reduced weight, optimum
braking in the wet and improved
cooling, the brake discs on
both models are cross-drilled.
For the Cayman S, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
is available as an option.
