Great info! Thanks.
You wouldn't have a similar document for the 718 GTS by any chance?

718 Boxster Introduction Training Manual
If you own or plan to purchase a 718 Boxster, I think the linked manual at the bottom of this post will interest you. Open it and scroll through some of the pages. Good stuff.
The following is the “FORWARD” of the linked training manual at the bottom of my post...
The new 718 Boxster. The future: Open as always.
“Roadster dreams have always borne the name Porsche.” With its new name
“718 Boxster”, the Boxster therefore continues the tradition of successful, fast and lightweight 2-seater roadsters.
Its renowned ancestors, the 550 Spyder and 718, already enjoyed great motor sports successes and produced corresponding headlines with the concept of an agile cornering specialist powered by a legendary flat-four engine. The lightweight engine in particular resulted in an ideal weight distribution with a central and low center of gravity, therefore making it possible to realize the driving dynamics that allowed the 718 to achieve numerous successes in the 50s and 60s.
The new generation of the Boxster now follows in these footsteps, loosely based on the maxim “Less is more”.
The heart of the roadster, which has been uncompromisingly designed for maximum agility and driving dynamics, is the completely newly developed turbo flat-four engine generation.
Offering compact design together with optimum efficiency, the new engines with a displacement of 2.0 and 2.5 l represent a quantum leap in performance for the Boxster also in combination with the introduction of turbocharging.
The fundamental performance capability of the four-cylinder technology was also confirmed in 2015 by the victory of the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans – with a state-of-the art turbocharged 4-cylinder engine concept.
The Boxster adopts this successful concept and transfers it to series production with the 718 Boxster models. The new flat-four turbo engine combines a high-revving layout with enormous torque, while at the same time offering a highly emotional engine sound with typical flat engine characteristics.
However, most important of all: 35 hp extra engine power and up to 74 ft lbs (100 Nm) more torque combined with significantly reduced emissions are clear proof of the performance capability of this drive concept.

It is rare to find these manuals posted on line. I’ve searched for others with no luck. The 718 is the current generation, and most dealer employees that were issued this manual and/or attended classes for the newest generation release tend to keep their copies until a newly printed manual for a newer generation is available. You “may” be able to snag a hard binder copy from a “friendly” dealership that you have a relationship with. That is how I obtained the hard copy edition for my 2016 Boxster. I saw a copy one day while speaking with the service manager at a dealer I would visit almost everyday way before I bought my 981. We had a pretty close relationship and we’re both car guys and asked how I could obtain one. He related that most attendees keep these New Model Introduction Training manuals, but he took me back to the service area and asked if any techs had one they were willing to part with. I actually got more than one manual that day but all have been given away to family members & friends. I believe the only way I got them is because the new generation was already announced and some 718’s were starting to arrive at the dealership. Just ask. The worse that could happen is for them to say NO. In that case I would ask to be thought of if ever they’re willing to give one away or sell it. The 981 Boxster one I’ve have supposedly sells for around $35 in hard copy via a company called autoatlanta.com. I actually didnt buy my Boxster unti April 2018 ...
Got the manual in Nov. 2017. Had an owners manual as well, so I was pretty familiar with the car before I even drove one.
Good luck.
I DID find one for the latest generation 911, but nothing on the Cayman or Cayman GTS. https://www.ebsracing.com/files/2017 911 sit 2.pdf
