Porsche Cayman S: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 21 S 2012–2016, the Cayman S ranks 19th of 21 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s, behind the Lamborghini Aventador S), 21th of 21 in Top speed (282 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador S), 19th of 21 in Power-to-weight (250 hp/t, behind the Lamborghini Aventador S).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Lamborghini Aventador S leads in 0–100 km/h (2.9 s vs 4.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Cayman S vs Lamborghini Aventador S duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
