The most performance-focused variant of the Porsche 987, the Cayman R features an exterior Aerokit, 19” lightweight forged wheels, a special lightweight interior, a lowered sport-tuned suspension, a limited-slip differential, and a 330-horsepower 3.4-liter flat-six engine. This 2012 example is finished in Black over a matching leather and Alcantara interior. It comes equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, carbon fiber sport bucket seats, red seatbelts and door pulls, silver exterior contrasts, optional automatic air conditioning, and Sound Package Plus. Showing approximately 7k miles on the odometer, this rare 6-speed Cayman R is now being offered for auction out of Connecticut.
Compared to a standard 987.2 Cayman S, the R version features lightweight aluminum doors, front splitters, black rear badging, darkened headlamp housings, black dual center-mounted exhaust tips, and a fixed rear spoiler. This example is finished in Black (041) with silver Porsche logo side stripes and contrast on the mirrors, side air intakes, and rear spoiler. Equipment includes LED taillights and daytime running lights, integrated fog lights, clear side marker lenses, red brake calipers, and silver 19” lightweight forged wheels dressed in Pirelli P Zero tires. The seller indicates the right rear quarter panel has been refinished, and clear paint protection film is applied over the full front end. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report showing “moderate damage” to the rear and right-rear sides of the car in 2015.
The Black interior features carbon fiber-backed sport bucket seats in leather and Alcantara upholstery, complemented by red seatbelts, lightweight cloth door pulls, and body-colored trim pieces. Other accessories include a three-spoke leather SportDesign steering wheel, a unique hoodless instrument cluster, model logos on the door sills, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, a central locking system, and Sound Package Plus with Bluetooth and a Porsche CDR-30 audio system.
Rated at 330 HP, the Cayman R’s mid-mounted 3.4-liter flat-six engine offers an increase of 10 HP over a contemporary Cayman S. Power is distributed to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Standard equipment includes a 20mm lowered suspension with stiffer springs and sway bars, Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), and fixed 4-piston calipers with cross-drilled brake discs at each corner.
This sale will include a window sticker, owner’s manuals, and a clean title.

@gf2020 thank you for sharing and we hope in a few days someone here will be the lucky owner this 7000 mile gem
This car was sold on BaT in April for $65K. And was previously listed here on Pcarmarket in late 2022.
These are great cars, and this one has the desirable LWBS, which is found in fewer than half of the cars.

According to the Cayman R database, this car is in the bottom decile of MSRPs, which range from $68k - $124k. For me, the key option it's missing is PSE.
GLWA!
@Patrick3000 Yes so the prior owner is a Pcar enthisuast who owns a 996 GT2 as well as a 996 GT3, was desperately seeking to add a drop top to his collection. He purchased a 2011 Spyder from is in PDK. After purchasing it he did not PDK and came across this Cayman R in Manual although not his top choice because he really wanted convertible he traded the spyder for the Cayman R.
A week later a spyder which is what he really wanted, in manual with a/c and radio delete came up for sale in California which was his dream spec and we helped him faciltate the purchase of that.
@seller you said that you know the previous owner personally, why did owner #5 sell after only three months? TY
Hi everyone, tons of more pictures being uploaded the shortly as well as paint meter readings. The only panel that meters high, which the meter shows 7.88 an is the right rear quarter panel which was repainted in 2015. PPF adds around 6 mills to the reading. Working on DME report
@jh986s Shelton CT, you are welcome to get a pre purchase inspection. We are close to Porsche of Fairfield.
@pm2207 I will work on getting DME report and post it.
Hi everyone, my name is Duane and I am the owner of the dealership. Thank you, everyone, for bidding. The tow hook cover is there, not sure why it was not present in the pictures. The car is located at our dealership in Shelton, CT, and anyone who wants can view it in person or schedule a test drive.
I cannot confirm whether the car has been tracked, except to say the prior owner, whom I knew, never tracked it. Based on the pristine condition of the car it does not seem like a car that has been tracked. The entire front has PPF, and there are no signs of wear on it. As mentioned, this car is pristine; the interior smells new and does not show any signs of wear.
Tow hook cover looks like it is missing in the front. Did the car get tracked? Would it be possible to post a DME report? Thanks
Bid in the amount of $25,000
Is the car in Chicago? Where can it be seen?
