Dealer-maintained in California up until 2020, this Cayman R is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Illinois showing approximately 27k miles on the odometer.

The mid-mounted 3.4L flat-six engine is derived from the Cayman S and features a factory sports exhaust system and revised tuning for an output of up to 330 HP. The rear wheels are driven through a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission which provides acceleration from 0-60 MPH in under 4.5 seconds paired with the optional Sport Chrono Package. The Cayman R also sits lower than a standard Cayman S with its passive sports suspension providing a firmer and more responsive ride. The car had been regularly maintained through Beverly Hills Porsche, Porsche Downtown Los Angeles, and Porsche Fresno up until 2015 with subsequent services completed by Arlington Acura of Illinois. The seller notes an oil and filter change has been carried out recently in preparation for sale.

@THEITCH please see my comment to myself and the new photo.
@suha_rohrmanauto new photo added. It was a superficial scratch and came right out.
@SSTwin The Cayman R came standard with a freer-flowing sport exhaust system which contributes towards its power gain over the standard Cayman S. You may find the article below useful:

PSE? Your description says that the R comes with a "sport exhaust", yet the build sheet does not show PSE option code XLF. What is special or different from this compared to a standard Cayman S? Do you have an aftermarket muffler on it? Thanks.

@THEITCH getting it buffed. I’ll send new pictures
Is that a deep scratch you are showing on picture 16?
@jbaumann83 new pictures added. There was what looked like coon hair. No damage or blood as you can see with the added pictures.

Great! Thank you.
@jbaumann83 it looks like grass to me but I can lift tomorrow and take better pictures to confirm. I will get back to you.
Hello, great looking Cayman! In photo #57 it appears that there is hair of some kind in the plastic cover underneath the car, did you run over some type of animal that you know of? Please advise. Thanks.
