The Cayman S fastback coupé (987c) was first unveiled and went on sale in late 2005. The base Cayman followed in July 2006. Both the Cayman and second generation Boxster roadster share their mid-engine platform and many components, including the front wings and boot lid, doors, headlights, taillights, and forward portion of the interior.
The Cayman GTS was introduced in 2014, and is based on the 981 platform. It featured a marginally more powerful engine, a new body kit, new 20-inch Carrera S wheels, new Bi-Xenon headlights, and a new sports exhaust system. The Cayman GTS is longer than the Cayman and the Cayman S by 30.5 mm (1.2 in) due to its bumpers.
A carbon rear spoiler was added as well as more aggressive front fascia spoilers. Suspension: With all new passive sports suspension, the Cayman R was 10 mm (0.4 in) lower than a Cayman S equipped with PASM, or a full 20 mm (0.8 in) lower than a Cayman S equipped with standard passive suspension.
Front spoilers: A front spoiler (air dam) is positioned under or integrated with the front bumper. In racing, this spoiler controls the dynamics of handling related to the air in front of the vehicle. This can be to improve the drag coefficient of the vehicle's body at speed or generate downforce.
Buick added Dagmars on its 1954 and 1955 models, in 1954 as part of the bumper assembly, and moved into the grille in 1955. Packard included large Dagmars on the bumper in 1955 and 1956 models. Full-sized Chevys in 1961 and 1963 also had small rubber Dagmars on the front bumper, and 1962 Ford Galaxie had small rubber Dagmars as an option.
The front bumper lost its full-width vinyl rub strip but gained two rubber-faced bumper guards. A larger energy-absorbing rear bumper was added to meet new 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h) front and rear safety standards requiring the license plate to be moved up to a position between the taillights.
