Porsche Cayman S Manual: what you need to know

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

Where does the Cayman S Manual rank in its segment?

Among the 29 S 2008–2012, the Cayman S Manual ranks 23th of 29 in 0–100 km/h (4.7 s, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 27th of 29 in Top speed (277 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 22th of 29 in Power-to-weight (240 hp/t, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700).

How much does the Cayman S Manual cost to run?

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

Why not a Lamborghini Aventador LP700 instead?

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700 leads in 0–100 km/h (2.9 s vs 4.7 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Cayman S Manual vs Lamborghini Aventador LP700 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

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.
