The Porsche Cayman S with a 3.4 litre engine is raced in the V6 Class of the VLN Endurance Championship and the RCN and is the slightly stronger brother of the Cayman V5. The V stands for production cars. This means that certain components such as powertrain, bodywork, a large part of the electronics and a part of the braking system may not be altered compared to the series vehicles. The car is equipped with safety features such as a welded safety cell made of special steel, as well as the latest racing bucket seat P1300GT by Black Falcon partner Recaro. Brakes and suspension have been equipped with components by our partners Pagid Racing and Bilstein in order to ensure the maximum performance of the vehicle. Ex works the 981 Cayman S has a 7-speed PDK transmission and a race grade ESP system (Porsche PSM).
The Cayman S is raced in the strongest V6 class of production cars in the VLN. The winner is thus given the possibility of spraying champagne on the large winner podium after the race.
The Cayman is not slower than the 991 Carrera, but it is currently favoured by the rules, since it is allowed to weigh a whole 105 kg less and is thus much more agile.
