The Cayman S Black Edition is powered by a 3.4 litre six-cylinder
boxer engine with power output increased by 10 hp (7 kW) to 330 hp (243 kW)
at 7,400 rpm (an additional 200 rpm). The maximum torque remains unchanged
at 370 Newton metres at 4,750 rpm. The extra power feeds directly through
into the performance of the all black two-seater. The acceleration times
from nought to 100 km/h (62 mph) are improved by a tenth of a second to 5.1
seconds with the six-gear manual transmission and to 5.0 seconds with the
optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) respectively. A mere 4.8 seconds
are required if the Launch Control is activated on the Sport Chrono package,
available as an option. The Cayman S Black Edition's top speed is two kilometres
per hour (1.24 mph) faster than that of the Cayman S - 279 km/h (173 mph)
with the manual transmission and 277 km/h (172 mph) with the PDK respectively.
The Cayman S Black Edition is not just more sportily agile in terms of its
longitudinal dynamics but laterally as well. Among other factors, this is
attributable to the Boxster Spyder wheels in black, which with a diameter
of 19 inches are not just one inch bigger than the standard Cayman S wheels
but are also half an inch wider than the optional 19 inch wheels on the Cayman
S. The tyre sizes fitted are 235/35 ZR 19s on the front axle and 265/35 ZR
19s on the rear axle. With its comprehensive and particularly high-quality
equipment, the Cayman S Black Edition also caters for exceedingly exacting
demands.
For example, Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering
lights and LED daytime running lights are just as much part of the basic
specification as are automatic anti-dazzle interior and exterior mirrors
with integrated rain sensor. Driver and front seat passenger sit on black
partial leather seats with Porsche crest on the headrests; climate control
ensures a comfortable temperature. The driver pilots the Cayman Black Edition
by means of a Sport Design steering wheel, the cruise control makes driving
at constant speed a more comfortable and economical experience. The colour
scheme of the limited edition sports coupé is consistent to the smallest
detail: the dashboard trim is black as are the gear lever/selector trim and
the instrument dials in the instrument cluster. The door entry guards emblazoned
with the lettering "Black Edition" are made of stainless steel; the glove
compartment lid bears the badge proclaiming the limited edition status. Equipped
with Sound Package Plus, the Cayman S Black Edition's infotainment systems
are controlled via Porsche Communication Management (PCM). This also includes,
for example, the navigation module and universal audio interface (AUX, USB,
iPod). Mobile phone integration is already enabled. In all, the Cayman S
Black Edition features the Porsche Comfort, Infotainment and Design packages,
offering a price reduction into the bargain. With country-specific equipment,
the Cayman S Black Edition costs 67,807 euro in Germany including VAT.
