  • Paint-To-Sample RS Orange, as used on the 997 GT3 RS

  • 68,346 miles on the odometer and 4 former keepers

The Porsche 987 Cayman S was a two-seater sports car produced by Porsche AG from 2005 to 2012. It featured a sleek and aerodynamic design with distinctive Porsche styling cues. Powered by a 3.4-litre flat-six engine, it delivered impressive performance with a maximum power output of 295 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. The 987 Cayman S was available with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Known for its exceptional handling, the mid-engine layout provided superb balance and agility on the road. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit offered high-quality materials and advanced features. The Porsche 987 Cayman S was celebrated for its outstanding performance and engaging driving dynamics.

Now most 987 Caymans available are in Silvers, Greys, Blacks and Blues. Seldom does one become available in other colours and on offer today is a very rare opportunity to acquire one in a factory PTS colour. This particular Cayman S was ordered new in Paint-to-Sample 8C6 Orange, also known as RS Orange due to its introduction with the 997.1 GT3 RS. The interior, special order Cocoa leather benefited from the extended leather pack, heated seats and Porsche Communications Management system with satellite navigation. With optional 19’’ Carrera Classic wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Tyres, the vehicle features the popular Tiptronic S gearbox and benefits from Cayman R exhaust tips; giving a much-improved tone over standard. The odometer currently displays 68,346 on the odometer at the time of consignment and in the hands of just 4 former keepers.

Now owned by a race engineer who looks after historic F1 cars, Historic GP cars and more, this rare example has been well looked after and is offered for sale due to the recent purchase of a Porsche Cayenne as a more comfortable everyday car. With an MOT valid until 30 August 2023, accompanied with the vehicle are a collection of previous invoices for works undertaken. Included in these is one from January 2022 with EMC Engines Motorsport Engineers for NGK Platinum plugs and replacement coil pack. Also included with the vehicle are a small collection of previous MOTs, as well as the V5C document which displays 4 former keepers.
