FLASH SALE 50% off buyers' premium for this vehicle: Finished in Carrara White over a Black and Stone Grey interior, this 6-speed 2006 Porsche Cayman S was treated approximately $165k in modifications under the care of its original owner. It features a turbocharged 3.4-liter flat-six engine by TPC Racing, an upgraded intake plenum, a GT3 radiator and cooling system, a custom tune by Gulf Performance, a Fabspeed exhaust, a Quaife limited-slip differential, a new South Bend racing clutch, a Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel, and H&R suspension. The car has also been modified with a full carbon GT4 rear wing, GT4-style side air intake scoops, a factory GT3 Cup front splitter, 19” ADV.1 forged wheels, Carrara White interior trim, Ultrasuede headliner, and an integrated Valentine One radar detector system. It was purchased by the seller, an automotive engineer and former SCCA racer, from the original owner in 2016 and is now being offered for auction once again on PCARMARKET out of Florida with under 36k miles showing on the odometer.
This Cayman S is finished in Carrara White and modified with a full carbon fiber GT4 rear wing, GT4-style side air intake scoops, 991-style front grilles with LED lights, an OEM GT3 front smile grille, an OEM GT3 Cup front splitter, and Fabspeed chrome exhaust tips. Optional bi-xenon headlamps, auto-dimming mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers came equipped from the factory. The car rides on white-painted 19” ADV.1 forged wheels with new Michelin Pilot Sport tires mounted approximately 3,200 miles ago. The seller states the car has been kept in a climate-controlled garage during their ownership and the exterior remains in excellent overall condition. Some minor touched-up chips are present on the front bumper and hood. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black and Stone Grey interior has been customized with a Carrara White painted center console, door handle surrounds, window triangles, ignition lock surround, and dashboard trim. Other modifications include a carbon fiber gear knob and handbrake lever, carbon fiber door handles and inner door sills, a three-spoke GT3 steering wheel, a thickened leather steering wheel, an integrated Valentine One radar detector, and a grey Ultrasuede headliner that extends to the rear hatch. The car also came factory-equipped with optional heated power seats, automatic climate control, the Bose Surround Sound System, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Stone Grey floor mats, and Carrara White instrument dials. The seller notes the passenger seat sensor needs to be replaced as the passenger airbag light appears on the dashboard intermittently.
The 3.4-liter flat-six engine was turbocharged by TPC Racing and features a full-flow intake plenum, upgraded fuel rails, a GT3 radiator and cooling system, a Fabspeed exhaust, a Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel, and a custom tune by Gulf Performance. A documented output of 470 HP is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission with a new South Bend racing clutch and a Quaife limited-slip differential. The car has been lowered with an adjustable H&R suspension including competition toe links and sway bars. The seller notes a new air/oil separator has been installed, the turbocharged was replaced within the last 3k miles, and new cross-drilled disc brakes are fitted at each corner. The seller adds that the car has been locally maintained by Foreign Affairs and Gulf Performance, and saw track use on only one occasion.
This sale will include a clean title. Additionally, this example is part of a FLASH SALE, offering a 50% discount on the buyer's premium for this vehicle. This offer is valid until the auction closes and will not extend into Dealtank.

Many states do not have emissions testing. Florida is one of them.
Bidding as a Track Only toy. Cannot pass State Motor Vehicle inspection here.

I would love to post that video for you but with only a few hours left I do not think I can get that done this quickly. Instead I will offer that the successful bidder can do a PPI and drive test if desired. I have no concerns and I know this car inside and out and she is in absolutely amazing condition and runs and drives fantastically. I am only selling because I need some garage space. Too many toys, too many Porsches...5 cars for 2 drivers.
Hi, can you please post an interior-viewed driving video?
Good question. The car will not pass an emissions test since the Fabspeed exhaust does not have any cats. They could be added and I believe that it would pass if they were added.
So on the blacked out dash- Is this covering CEL and other errors? Would an OBD2 scan show clean or no? Curious if this could pass emissions of not here in TX, but not sure how it was tuned, or if it’s running a standalone ECU or something?
The right side small gauge cluster was blacked out by TPC at the time of the Turbo installation. This was necessary because the reprogramming of the engine controls to control the turbos is inherently different and causes a fault in the factory system. I previously owned a RUF 993 BTR and when I acquired the car I took it to Gulf Performance, the Ruf certified mechanic located in Pompano Beach to have the whole vehicle inspected and gone through. They reprogrammed the control system put in a new AOS, and lowered the boost to 6 lbs. The car has run reliably its whole lifetime because it has regular oil changes, superior cooling, a GT3 radiator and intake plenum and enhanced fuel rails. This car is absolutely reliable and fast. It is the GT4 that Porsche should of built back in 2006.
Wow let me try to answer these questions. Yes I applied the 15% to the HP as the Dyno read 409 at the rear wheels. Yes the work was done at TPC in Jessup MD. While that invoice does not have the mileage on it there is one close to it that shows 5506 miles on the car. I have not done a bore scoring review because I did not feel it was necessary as I did a documented compression check and leak down test at 32,604 miles at Foreign Affairs with no issues. The current Boost is at 6 LBS and I understand the boost was around 7 lbs when the car was on the Dyno. I am unsure if the exhaust tips are Fabspeed but the exhaust system itself is by Fabspeed and is its catless header system.
Do check the picture/video of the dash, the display has been "blacked out" through editing/tape/marker?. I'm guessing it's throwing codes that seller isn't disclosing. Right pod below the gas gauge.
Do you have more information/documentation on the Fabspeed exhaust tips, and any other exhaust modifications? I'm asking because the tips shown appear to be the standard units supplied with the TPC turbo kit. Thank you!
Has the engine been inspected for bore scoring?
Sorry, I let my typing get ahead of my photo review. Looks like the turbo was installed in 2008 or so, but would still like to see the mileage at the time. I see a wheel hp of just over 400, so I'm guessing we're applying the 15% standard here? Do you know what the boost was at the time of the dyno, and what lbs of boost you run on the daily drives? Thanks again and apologies for lengthy requests...
Beautiful car with the perfect mods! Can you detail when the TPC turbo was first installed (date/mileage)? I see the turbo was recently replaced/rebuilt, but would like to know the miles that the motor has been exposed to the forced air system. From what I see, the internals of the motor are stock. Do you have the dyno printout for the 460hp? Seems like a bit much without massive boost. Also, was the original TPC turbo build done at TPC in Maryland, or another indy shop? Keeping a close eye on this... Thanks!
Love the car but perhaps your videos could be a bit more revealing than just a 20 mph pass by. It's a turbo Cayman, perhaps show us what she can do.
You show us things like the sun visors, but where are the really important parts like the Turbo system?
Can't you put this up on a lift?
