Porsche Cayman R 3.4

When Porsche launched the Cayman and Cayman S in 2005, the brand deliberately kept the performance below that of the legendary 911. Apart from a few special models, the first generation remained at a reasonable distance, possibly to maintain the exclusive status of the 911.

This changed in 2010 with the Cayman R. For the first time, Porsche moved the Cayman closer to the 911 and reintroduced the legendary "R" designation, a nod to the rare and racing-oriented 911 R from 1967. Like its distant ancestor, the Cayman R followed a simple but effective formula: more power, less weight and a firmer set-up.

The vehicle in detail

The Cayman R may not have been a pure racing car, but it became a great driver's car that surprised many a 911 driver. Thanks to the aluminum doors of the GT3, the extremely sporty bucket seats and the lightweight 19-inch wheels, it was slimmed down by 55 kg. Purists could even do without the air conditioning and audio system. Furthermore, a lower ride height and firmer anti-roll bars improved the handling, while additional horsepower and a limited slip differential took the driving experience to a higher level. The result? A perfectly balanced machine with an ideal blend of performance and driving pleasure.

This example is a Cayman R, which was delivered in the Netherlands and is available in elegant basalt black metallic with Alcantara interior. Although the R could be described as minimalist, it has options that maximize driving comfort, such as air conditioning, a hi-fi package, parking sensors and cruise control. Of course, important options such as the sports chrono package, optional rotating bi-xenon headlights and silver contrasts are not missing either.

What really makes this Cayman R special is the delicious 6-speed manual gearbox, which is equipped with a short-shift option for extra precision ex works. A real addition to the driving pleasure, if you ask us.

Furthermore, this Cayman naturally has an extensive maintenance history and was serviced shortly before sale. It has also been fitted with new Michelin tires all around, so it's ready for the new driving season.

Last year, our friends at Elferspot wondered if this could be the last "R" to remain under the radar. Considering how few examples appear on the market these days, we're pretty sure it is. Will we see you in Doorn for a viewing soon?
