Why stop at defying convention

when you can completely redefine it?

A striking design. Uncompromising

driving dynamics. Close to the

road, yet far from conventional.

The Porsche Cayman is a mid-

engine coupe with a personality all

its own. Few vehicles can match

its pure sports-car experience.

After all, it’s a Porsche—an

authentic, race-bred sports car for

which there is no substitute.

The Porsche Tequipment range of

accessories is developed with as

much dedication as the car itself.

Tequipment parts are not just

individual accessories—they are

part of a harmonious overall

design. Your Cayman.

Each component not only has to

be visually appealing—it also has

to be tech nically compatible.

This is why all model-specific

products in the Tequipment range

have been developed, tested and

formulated with the complete

vehicle in mind, by the same

Porsche engineers and designers

who built your car.

All of this takes place primarily at

the Porsche Development Center in

Weissach, Germany—from design

through to launch. Every product

undergoes exhaustive testing

throughout its development to

ensure optimal performance and

durability. Not to mention satisfying

the world’s most stringent quality

guidelines and standards.

Among the highlights of this

range of accessories is the

Cayman Aerokit. It emphasizes

the car’s stylish coupe silhouette

perfectly. The Cayman is even

more assertive, and even more

dynamic. Its aerodynamic

efficiency has been enhanced

even further without affecting the

impressive drag coefficient. After

extensive wind-tunnel testing, the

result is the perfect balancing of

the Cayman by fine adjustment of

the aerodynamic wheel loads.

Driving stability and agility have

been further increased, as has

driving pleasure.

There is no substitute for a

Porsche. But, with Tequipment,

there are substitutions to account

for individual tastes that veer from

the norm. Just like a Cayman.

Whichever Tequipment products

you ask your authorized Porsche

dealer to fit, one thing remains

unchanged: your original

vehicle warranty.

You can find out more about the

Porsche Tequipment range at

Cayman Aerokit

Cayman Aerokit

Porsche engineers are obsessed

with finding dynamic solutions

for improving track performance.

One example is the Cayman

Aerokit. Optimized in the

Porsche wind tunnel, it improves

aerodynamics and reduces lift

coefficients on both axles. Newly

styled front spoiler lips and a

fixed rear spoiler deliver a more

stable driving experience—while

giving your Cayman a more

aggressive appearance.

Part no. 987 044 802 09

Please note that the ground clearance is
reduced. Front spoiler lips and rear spoiler
may not be fitted separately.

Wheels

Information Provided by:

Do you find these wheels a bit

uncon ventional? How fitting.

From one of the most common

metals on earth, Porsche

engineers have forged uncommon

combinations of fashion and

function. Tequipment aluminum

alloy wheels offer looks that turn

heads—and performance that

astounds at every turn, thanks to

a race-inspired combination of

light weight for added agility and

aerodynamic spoke designs that

aid in brake cooling.
