About this car
The Porsche Cayman S 987.1, part of the first generation of the Cayman lineup, was produced from 2005 to 2008 as a mid-engine sports coupe based on the Porsche Boxster platform. Approximately 24,800 units of the Cayman S were manufactured during this period, making it relatively rare compared to other Porsche models of the era. It is powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six engine, delivering 295 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 5.1 seconds with the manual transmission and a top speed of 171 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 987.1 Cayman S holds appeal due to its balanced handling, thanks to the mid-engine layout, and its status as the inaugural model of the Cayman series. While not as scarce as limited-edition Porsches, its value has been appreciating in recent years, particularly for well-maintained, low-mileage examples with manual transmissions. No factory special editions were released for this generation, but its historical significance lies in establishing the Cayman as a distinct, performance-focused model in Porsche’s lineup.

The Porsche Cayman S 718, part of the 718 Cayman lineup, was introduced in 2016 as a mid-engine sports car, replacing the previous Cayman generation. Production of the 718 Cayman S continues as of 2023, with Porsche producing approximately 30,000 units annually across all 718 variants (Cayman and Boxster combined), though exact figures for the S model alone are not publicly specified. The car features a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine, delivering 350 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. It achieves 0-60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds with the PDK and Sport Chrono package, with a top speed of around 177 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 718 Cayman S holds interest due to its relative affordability among Porsche models, with used examples (2016-2020) often ranging from $50,000 to $70,000, though prices vary based on condition and mileage. While not as rare as limited-edition Porsches, special configurations like the GTS 4.0 (introduced later with a naturally aspirated flat-six) add appeal. Its historical significance lies in Porsche’s shift to turbocharged four-cylinder engines, a controversial yet performance-driven evolution, marking a distinct era in the Cayman lineage.
