Okay, I am merely the messenger here so keep the ropes to yourself.
I just got back from the dealership on the same day they were having a delivery of vehicles, all of which were 2008s. Most of them were Cayennes, but there was one 911 Targa and one Cayman S. I asked if I could see the sticker of the Cayman and they wouldn't let me back to the prep area since these were sold cars, but the salesman told me that there is NO mechanical differences between the 2007 and 2008.
Now, again I didn't get to see any of this myself, so I am taking the guy at his word, but he has never told me anything that was false. I asked him repeatedly if there were any differences including DFI and he told me there were no differences.
On a positive note, if you're expecting a MY2008 Cayman S and were expecting delivery at Momentum Porsche for late July/early August, your car could be at the dealer. Call your salesguy to check in.
DFI
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), is a new technology that Porsche states can cut fuel consumption by up to 15 percent, while increasing power by up to 13 percent. DFI cuts emissions by warming up the catalytic converter more quickly, and ensures a sharper throttle response. Better for your right foot - and the planet, then.
DFI allows much more precise measurement of fuel supply and injection at pressures up to 120 bar; it has numerous combustion modes, with different cycles for cold-starting, low-speed driving and performance driving.
As the name suggests, DFI injects fuel directly into the individual combustion chambers, instead of the intake manifold. The injector valves have an electromagnetic mechanism that controls each injection with astonishing precision, while a high-pressure pump provides the necessary pressure—up to 1,740 psi—to accompany the rapid fire of the fuel injection.
Precise geometry of the injector’s position and its spray pattern is a key factor in helping to improve power, torque and emissions of the engines. The specific placement of the fuel as it enters each chamber creates a swirl that improves the air/fuel mixture, and therefore the overall combustion process.
At engine speeds up to 3500 rpm, a double-injection process is used. In this mode, the required fuel volume is delivered in two successive injections per working stroke. The resulting benefits include faster catalyst warm-up and increased torque in the upper load range.
By forming the air/fuel mix directly in the combustion chamber, DFI contributes to engine cooling. As a result, it is possible to increase the compression ratio and with it the power and efficiency of the engine.
The direct injection process is continuously adjusted. The engine management system reads changes to throttle inputs and performance requirements and, as you drive, the air/fuel mix is monitored and adapted as required. Oxygen sensor circuits within the exhaust system provide accurate emissions control.
your saleman was correct in the 2008 model line up. Also as a side note 2008 production at the plants will last till at least next summer, so DFI if in "09" is still at least 12 months away

I'm expecting my car in October and would only be upset if the change was made shortly thereafter. No problem if it's next year, that's a long time away. I wonder if there is a facelift though, if he only mentioned mechanical changes.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that as well. No facelift for 2008. Only changes are in the interior and exterior colors.
noob here, but what are the benefits of the change to DFI engine??
thanks

Welcome to the CaymanClub tim0s002! Please feel free to make yourself at home during your stay. Simply stated, Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) adds to the vehicle’s fuel efficiency and horse power. Also, our search feature is top notch. K-Man S wouldn’t have it any other way. There are quite a few threads out there that may peak your interest. Enjoy!

There was speculation that since this was added to the 2008 Cayenne that all 2008 models were going to get it. Now it would seem it will wait until possibly the 2009 model when the Cayman gets a facelift.
