Launched at the September 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Cayman S was a brave move for Porsche on the basis that it delivered nigh-on 911 performance but in a more dynamically balanced / driver friendly package. Autocar magazine judged it Britain's Best Driver’s Car of 2006 (beating a 911 Turbo into third place) and the mid-engined two-seater drew rave reviews worldwide. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster convertible with which it shared a platform, the Fixed Head Coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 3.4 litre ‘Flat Six’ engine allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman S had some 291bhp/251lbft at its disposal and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and 171mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated.
Finished in Basalt Black Metallic with Black leather upholstery, chassis 772650 was supplied new via the Porsche Centre Guildford on 21st February 2006. Featuring the more desirable six-speed manual gearbox, its impressive specification also encompassed DVD navigation package for Europe, air-conditioning, powerful Litronic headlights and heated seats. The accompanying maintenance booklet records services at 5.088, 16,392, 30,575, 42,675, 49,293, 58,914, 65,398 and 65,813 miles (the most recent being completed on 22nd February 2023). Previously retailed by marque specialist RPM Technik complete with a warranty, the two-seater was treated to new front coil springs, top mounts and bearings circa 10,000 miles ago and has also had its crossover coolant pipes replaced. Starting readily upon inspection, the Porsche is warranted to have covered some 66,000 miles from new. The appropriate ‘C8 AYM’ number plate is included along with the original book pack, sundry invoices and a fresh MOT certificate.
