Generations

Power is the PS range stored on the published engines. Dates use the precision recorded for that generation.

Cars recorded for each generation in the VehicleScore dataset. This is not UK sales or production.

Performance

Highest engine power

Each row is an engine family. Power can differ between the trims and gearboxes listed on that engine page.

Bar length is the highest stored PS for that engine. Brake horsepower is a different unit and is not plotted.

Economy

These are the highest official combined mpg ranges stored on each engine. The test cycle is recorded on the variant, so ranges from different cycles are not ranked as one list of winners.

Questions

How many Porsche Cayman cars are in the VehicleScore dataset?

1,503 cars in our dataset. That is the catalogue sample, not UK sales or production.

Which Cayman generations are covered?

Porsche Cayman 987.1, 987.2, Cayman 981

How these figures are produced

Specifications and counts come from the VehicleScore UK vehicle catalogue. A count of cars is the number of records in that dataset. It is not UK production, not sales, and not the number of cars currently on the road.

Power is shown in PS where the catalogue stores PS, and in bhp only where bhp is stored separately. Official fuel economy is labelled NEDC or WLTP when the test cycle is known. Figures from different cycles are not ranked together. Empty values are left blank.

The catalogue does not store a revision date, so these pages do not show a last-updated day.
