Porsche Boxster 2021-2023
The Porsche Boxster is known for how exciting it is to drive with the top down, and the 2021–2023 models continue to please. The Boxster is a symbol of driving happiness and pure automotive enjoyment because it is sporty, elegant, and fast. The Boxster stays true to its famous mid-engine layout, which gives it great balance and handling. The outside has smooth lines, curved edges, and a soft-top roof that can be retracted with the touch of a button. This makes it easy for drivers to switch between open-air driving and closed-top comfort. Different engines give the Boxster types their power. The base Boxster has a supercharged 2.0-liter flat-four engine that makes about 300 horsepower. This engine has enough power for moving quickly and with a lot of gusto. For people who want even more power, the Boxster S comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine that makes about 350 horsepower. With its faster acceleration and more excitement on the open road, this improved engine takes driving to the next level.
Cayman concept
There is a place where driving pleasure reaches its pinnacle. Where the laws of physics are set in asphalt, and where gravity insists on finding its center. It’s a point so precisely located, a single degree can be the difference between a perfect moment and profound disappointment. Welcome to the apex of the curve, where the new Porsche Cayman lives.
Cayman is a sports car concept that pursues performance unconventionally. With its mid-engine design, the Cayman centers weight low in the chassis, so the car’s center of gravity is directly beneath the driver seat. The connection between car and driver is pure and undiluted.
And now, the Cayman concept enters its second generation. New chassis developments, new engine developments, and a front-to-tail redesign of its coupe shape create an entirely new Cayman, with enhanced levels of power, efficiency, and handling agility. Enter a corner and roll on the throttle: Whether you choose the Cayman model with its new 2.7-liter, 275-hp sixcylinder engine or the Cayman S with its 3.4-liter, 325-hp six, pressing the accelerator creates forward propulsion combined with formidable lateral grip.
The new Cayman and Cayman S. There’s an apex just waiting for you to arrive.
Six cylinders. Four heart chambers. Just 12 inches apart.
Engineering
The new Cayman adheres to Porsche’s long-held principle of intelligent lightweight construction. The doors, luggage compartment lid, and rear hatch are made entirely of aluminum, with the lightweight material accounting for approximately 44 percent of the entire structure. The chassis has been completely revised and its wheelbase lengthened, helping the new Cayman achieve two of automotive engineering’s most coveted aims: an ideal front/rear weight balance, and an optimal power-to-weight ratio.
For enhanced dynamic performance and increased driving stability when the car is pushed to the limit, both
Cayman models are equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM). Enhanced Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is available as an option and includes a ride-height reduction of 10 mm. Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with rear differential lock for increased agility and traction in corners is also available on request.
The optional Sport Chrono Package makes the highly responsive handling characteristics of the new Cayman even sportier. For the first time, the package now also includes dynamic gearbox mounts, which make a perceptible contribution to handling stability in fast corners while ensuring a high degree of ride comfort.
The Cayman model’s new 2.7-liter engine and the Cayman S model’s 3.4-liter engine are “boxer” designs. Unlike a conventional “V” configuration, in our boxer engines the pistons are horizontally opposed, forming a “flat six.” It’s a compact yet potent engine that keeps the core weight mass positioned low within the engine—and engine low within the car. It’s the ideal design for a mid-engine sports car.
Both engines feature Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. Power is transmitted to the wheels by a smooth sixspeed manual transmission or the optional 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Fuel efficiency is achieved by a suite of engineering innovations. The Auto Start Stop function, electromechanical power steering, electrical system recuperation, and intelligent thermal management all help reduce the demand for fuel and the level of emissions.
The new Cayman design is unmistakably that of a pure-bred Porsche sports car, with every line and every edge energized in one direction: forward.
The purposeful, now made even more beautiful.
Design
Exterior
Study the sculpted lines and edges, narrow wheel arches, short overhangs, taut proportions, and sleek silhouette of the new Cayman. What you will observe is a design aesthetic that is unique to Porsche.
The family values encoded into the Cayman genes since the very beginning are evident. No matter where your eye falls, it sees the Porsche character, the Porsche profile, and the unwavering Porsche belief in form following function.
The new front is dominated by the prominent fenders. With its large and dynamic air intakes, the front end signals the powerful persona of the Cayman. Restyled headlights—-inspired by the Porsche racing heritage of the 1960s and 1970s—are the windows to the soul of the Cayman. The circular front light units integrated in the air intakes are a signature of Cayman styling and incorporate LED daytime running lights and position lights.
Precise edges stretch backward along the roof to the rear. In conjunction with the wide track, the effect is a sculpted and honed physique. Imposing fenders lend prominence to the wheels. The wide brake light is an integral feature of the large rear window.
The rear spoiler is more than a stunning eye-catcher. It deploys automatically at 75 mph to effectively enlarge the aerodynamic surface area and increase downforce. The firm contact with the road heightens driving pleasure at the limits of performance.
Retracted, the separation edge of the rear spoiler makes a seamless transition to the LED taillights. The integrated turn signals are narrow and in line with the fender. The rear fascia with centrally framed stainless steel tailpipe (dual-tube on the Cayman S) adds the powerful finishing touch.
Compared with that of the previous model, the wheelbase of the new Cayman has been extended by 2.4 inches, the wheels are larger, and the silhouette is sleeker. The effect on the eye is more dynamic. The effect on the road? It’s more dynamic too. The side windows are narrow and, if you wish, you can highlight their contours with optional trim strips in a high-gloss finish. The taut energy of the exteriordesign is accentuated by a forwardshifted windshield, aggressive air-intake channels, large wheel arches, and a roofline that extends far into the rear.
It’s as if the Cayman is moving swiftly, even when it’s standing perfectly still.
To help improve aerodynamics and reduce wind buffeting, the exterior mirrors are mounted directly on the doors. Their dynamic contouring not only gives emphasis to the Cayman profile—it improves airflow to the side air intakes. The rush of cooling air supplies oxygen to this athlete’s beating heart: the boxer engine.
Where the new Cayman wants to go is clear. Every line and every technical detail is focused in one direction: forward.
Interior
Creating an uncompromising sports car takes conviction. Giving it an unmistakable design takes creativity. Combine both conviction and creativity and apply it to the interior design. What results? An environment where the driver is central in the driving experience.
In the new Cayman, this has been made possible by a new interior architecture that gives a feeling of open space and offers plenty of freedom of movement around the low-positioned standard sport seats.
The central feature of the interior is the redesigned ascending center console. We believe that the gear lever should be positioned close to the steering wheel to enable fast, efficient, and ergonomic gearshifts. It’s just one of many principles that we’ve transferred from the racetrack to the road. As you would expect, the ignition lock is on the left.
The three-spoke sport steering wheel fits the hand perfectly. Behind it are the three central circular instruments, which give you all the important information you need. The new and generously proportioned luggage compartment is located underneath the wide rear window. The large rear hatch above the exquisitely styled luggage compartment has a wide opening angle. The luggage protection bar is finished in Brushed Aluminum just like the inlay between the upper and rear luggage spaces. Storage compartments on both sides offer additional storage room.
To further enhance the interior, we offer a comprehensive range of personalization options and a wide selection of colors and materials.
All to create your unique vision.
A sports car that does more with less. How very Porsche.
The new Cayman.
At Porsche, it’s never our aim to pursue efficiency purely for its own sake. Our rationale is always to use any savings in size or weight to help make a better sports car. A more agile sports car. A quicker sports car, whether accelerating or braking. A safer sports car, able to use its razor-sharp reflexes to avoid accidents in the first place. It’s an approach to engineering we call Intelligent Performance. And in the new Cayman model, it results in a sports car that simply does more with less.
The Cayman model’s new 2.7-liter boxer engine is actually smaller in terms of displacement than the engine it
replaces. The six-cylinder boxer engine is as compact as possible. After all, the less weight an engine carries, the more the car it propels is able then to translate that weight savings into brisk acceleration and responsive handling.
The secret to the engine’s less-is-more ethos is a suite of engineering innovations that optimize power. This six-cylinder engine uses Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus to help it produce 275 horsepower, with a top track speed of 165 mph. With its precisely geared six-speed manual transmission, the Cayman accelerates from 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Add the optional 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) combined with the Sport Chrono Package, and the Cayman model’s 0–60-mph acceleration time is cut to a mere 5.1 seconds.
The 18-inch Cayman wheels, a new front end, brake calipers finished in black, and, of course, the central tailpipe in brushed stainless steel are unmistakable ways to identify the Cayman model. Come to think of it, so is the sound coming from that singular exhaust.
We’re not the first company to put the letter “S” on our high-performance models.
Just the most qualified.
The new Cayman S.
When you start at an already-high level, where do you go next? At Porsche, we go to the 19th letter of the alphabet. With the new Cayman S, this is exactly what we did—in every respect. Its 3.4-liter flat-six engine with DFI and VarioCam Plus generates 325 horsepower. It accelerates from 0–60 mph in 4.7 seconds and achieves a top track speed of 175 mph. With PDK and the Sport Chrono Package, both of which are optional, it reaches 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Improved performance demands capable components. The chassis of the new Cayman S is matched specifically to the high power output of the engine. Even greater levels of agility, traction, and control in corners can be achieved with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with rear differential lock, and the dynamic gearbox mounts of the Sport Chrono Package, all of which are available from our list of options. For added safety, the front axle is equipped with larger brake discs to cope with the increased engine power. The brake calipers are finished in red. Imposing 19-inch Cayman S light-alloy wheels with a classic fivespoke design are fitted as standard.On the new Cayman S, Bi-Xenon™ headlights are also standard. The precisely styled LED front light units accentuate the front air intakes finished in black. At the rear, the twin tailpipe in brushed stainless steel is located in the center and produces the typically resonant Porsche sound.
The new Cayman S. Because Porsche engineers gave it their all, we’re able to give it the letter S.
Boxer engines
The new Cayman models are powered by compact, mid-mounted boxer engines positioned no further than 12 inches behind the driver. This unorthodox approach yields unique attributes. A substantial amount of the weight of the Cayman is concentrated close to the middle of the vehicle. The center of gravity is low and central, and weight is distributed uniformly between the front and rear axles. The tangible effect—a truly stunning level of agility, with well-balanced handling, particularly in corners. The new engine concept is defined by high power plus reduced fuel consumption and emissions figures compared with the previous model. We call it Intelligent Performance, a philosophy that applies the engineering principles of the racetrack to the road.
Both engines are equipped as standard with VarioCam Plus and Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) as well as efficiency-enhancing technologies such as Auto Start Stop, electrical system recuperation, and advanced thermal management.
What can you expect from the Cayman driving experience? Direct responses to every burst of acceleration. Dynamic handling in every corner. Oh yes, and one more thing: the inevitable pain of separation at the end of every drive.
