Due to the New Year Holiday, this auction has been rescheduled to end on Thursday, January 2nd.
Up for auction is this rare 2012 Cayman R finished in Basalt Black Metallic over a black and Alcantara upholstered interior. Representing one of only 61 reported examples delivered to Canada, this Cayman R showcases several unique design features and performance enhancements that set it apart from its more pragmatic siblings. Having spent its entire life between two meticulous owners in and around Quebec City, this Cayman R is now being offered for auction showing approximately 27k kilometers (17k miles) on the odometer by a seller in Saint-Laurent, QC, Canada.
The Basalt Black Metallic Paint on this Cayman R is said to be in exceptional condition. Detailed images of the exterior are provided in the photo gallery. Contrasting Porsche graphics along the sides pay homage to historic racing cars while helping to distinguish this from a standard Cayman. With lightweight track-oriented performance being the name of the game, this Cayman R features a distinctive aerokit, aluminum doors, fixed rear wing and lightweight 19” wheels that come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
Inside, the driver is greeted by a lightweight black interior with Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching throughout. The seller has noted the interior to be in excellent original condition with all gauges, electrical components and accessories fully functional. Interior highlights include lightweight RS style door pulls, red contrasting seatbelts and GT2 derived fiberglass bucket seats with carbon fiber backing. Touting an original sticker price of over $85k, this Cayman R comes outfitted with the following additional factory options:
Weighing in at nearly 120lbs less than the Cayman S, the R is equipped with a 3.4L 6-cylinder boxer engine that has been bumped up to 330 HP. Power is sent to the rear wheels by way of a traditional 6-speed manual transmission making for a 0-60 time of approximately 4.9 seconds. The Sport Exhaust system makes for a phenomenal soundtrack while Sport Chrono gives the driver the ability to change performance characteristics while underway. Service records dating back to delivery indicate that this Cayman has always been regularly serviced at an authorized Porsche dealership. The seller states that this car remains in perfect driving condition, just waiting to be enjoyed by its next owner.
The sale of this Cayman R will include all original books and documentation, two sets of keys, complete service records and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. This vehicle is accompanied by a clean Carfax report as well as a clear title. The seller notes that the vehicle will be available for pickup out of Champlain, NY on a valid US title if applicable. Do not miss your chance to own of the most sought-after and collectible Porsches in recent years.

Drove my semi-garage queen Cayman R this morning, and these cars really make some great sounds and are so connected to the road. I think this one would look great with powder coated black wheels for that full-on Darth Vader look.

@zanglemyer10 Hello. Canada/US sales are very common on PCARMARKET. Please reference the last paragraph in the description. Best of luck.
Is there any additional cost and or processing that is required to bring this car into the US?
Would you entertain a cross boarder sale?

I am lucky enough to own one of these (PDK version) and I can honestly same that it is one of the funnest cars you will ever drive. In the last two years I have put over 15,000 miles on mine, tracked it at Road American and driven to so many mountain bike trail heads. This car is simply put one of the best all around cars you can own. The Porsche roof rack truly makes my car usable for my life style.
Manual with buckets? Delicious!
