"The Cayman S remains a delight to drive and is one of the few cars
that really can deliver complete driving bliss. Those who think mid
engine Porsches are not real Porsches clearly have never driven a
Cayman S. The car delivers 90 percent, (if not more), of the joy
one gets in a 911. The ride and handling balance has always been
near perfect, and it's even better now, thanks to a retuned
suspension." Car and Driver, July 2010
For consignment, a 2010 Porsche Cayman 987.2 coupe with a title
verified 57,665 actual miles. This second generation Cayman
benefits from things such as direct injection, LED lights, improved
interior features and an overall facelift.
Exterior
Feasting our eyes on the profile of the car, it's clear that this
car would slip through the wind with very little resistance while
its shark like intake ducts on the side scoop in what they need for
the engine. The Black paint shines with very few incursions and all
the gloss of late model two stages. Up front, the gaping mouth
gives way to straked grilles and headlights that are both set back
and flush with the fenders. If you're a molecule of air flowing
over the car, you'll ride the raked windshield, over the top, and
follow the gentle slope down until a modest spoiler sends you on
your way. Flush tail lights add color to the black palette and a
single, center exit exhaust tip falls between the integrated
diffusers. 18-inch wheels carry staggered tires with an early 2020
date code. A scratched ding on the hood is the only exterior
imperfection we find.
Interior
The quality is evident as you swing the door open to reveal Sand
Beige leather door panels, smartly designed with contoured
actuators and carpeted lowers and integrated, almost invisible
speakers. The leather adorns the bucket seats with the driver's
side showing a wisp of usage but otherwise spotless, while the
monochromatic tan interior continues on the steering wheel with
contrasting nickel colored spokes and Stuttgart's finest coat of
arms. Black faced gauges fit in a contoured cover and the center
stack has a screen displaying the functions of the AM/FM/Multi-CD
player followed by push button climate controls and a storage
cubby. In the center console is the coveted shifter and of the
1,300 Cayman's sold in the U.S., only a fraction of them were
manuals as globally, only 779 base Caymans received the joystick.
The leather boot matches the surrounding plastic and the plush,
quality carpet below. This same carpet cleanly lines the storage
area under the hatch and the hatch itself has a handsome coverage
of materials.
Drivetrain
The mid-mounted engine is a 2.9 liter flat 6 cylinder pumping out
265 horsepower and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that
sends power to the rear axle and 3.875 gears.
Undercarriage
With all of the components towards the back, the front is occupied
by aerodynamic belly pans and all present cleanly. The dual exhaust
travels through original mufflers and then comes together to exit
through a single pipe. Four wheel power disc brakes are on board
and MacPherson struts make up the suspension front and rear.
Drive-Ability
We know there's another German manufacturer who coined the adage
"the ultimate driving machine" but that's only because Porsche
didn't trademark it first. The cozy cabin is a fantastic place from
which to pilot this car which is responsive, quick, and nimble on
the test loop and as a quality built machine, all functions operate
as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
As you read this, the Boxster and Cayman models are in their final
days at Porsche. This is your opportunity to get what's regarded as
one of the best driver's cars ever produced because after 2025,
there will be no more produced by Porsche. What is already an
uncommon car will soon be even more coveted and rare and we're
thrilled to represent this fine example.
