Both two-seaters boast slipstream styling, hip-hugging seats and quick acceleration. An optional Porsche Active Suspension Management system allows continuously variable damping based on road conditions, as well as driver-selectable modes. There are no significant changes to the Cayman S for the 2007 model year. The Cayman S has a 295-horsepower flat six, while the Cayman uses a smaller 245-hp engine.

Riding on 17-inch wheels, the base Cayman looks unmistakably Porsche. Large brake discs have black calipers. Bulging rear fenders emphasize the fixed roof's teardrop shape, while the nose looks much like the Boxster's. In back, a trapezoidal tailpipe sits dead center.


The Cayman S has 18-inch wheels and dual exhaust pipes, also grouped in the center. Brake calipers are painted red, and 19-inch wheels are optional. For better high-speed downforce, a rear spoiler automatically extends when the car reaches 75 mph.

Both Caymans have interiors modeled after their respective Boxster siblings. In the base Cayman, the instrument portals have black faces; they're white in the Cayman S. Otherwise, the layout is similar, with a steep dashboard, three-spoke steering wheel and well-bolstered seats. Due to the mid-engine design, the Cayman has two trunks — one under the hood, one under the rear hatch. Combined space equals 14.5 cubic feet in the Cayman and 14.1 cubic feet in the Cayman S.
