About this car
The Porsche Cayman 987.2, the second generation of the mid-engine sports car, was produced from 2009 to 2012 as part of Porsche's 987 platform. Approximately 25,000 units were manufactured during this period, making it relatively rare compared to other Porsche models like the 911. It features two flat-six engine options: a 2.9-liter producing 265 horsepower and a 3.4-liter in the Cayman S, delivering 320 horsepower. Both engines are paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, with the Cayman S achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds.
For exotic car collectors, the 987.2 holds appeal due to its refined design, improved handling over the 987.1, and direct-injected engines, which addressed earlier oil consumption issues. Special editions like the Cayman S Black Edition, limited to 500 units, add to its allure with unique styling and performance tweaks. Values have remained stable, with well-maintained examples often appreciating due to their balanced performance and relative scarcity. Its historical significance lies in solidifying the Cayman as a serious contender in Porsche’s lineup, offering 911-like dynamics at a more accessible price point.

Factory color
Agate Grey Metallic
Agate Grey Metallic is a dark gray metallic paint that Porsche describes as a modern Porsche color. Its metallic finish carries warm undertones: it reads grayer than Anthracite Brown Metallic and warmer and brighter than Volcano Grey Metallic. Porsche introduced it as a standard color in early 2010 under factory code M7S, and it was part of the launch color range when the 991-generation 911 Targa went on sale in 2014. It has since appeared across the Porsche lineup, including the 911, Macan and other models.

The Porsche 718 Cayman, introduced in 2016 as a successor to the original Cayman, is a mid-engine sports car within Porsche's lineup, named after the historic 718 race car. Production of the 718 Cayman continues to the present, with over 100,000 units produced across its variants by 2023, though specific annual figures vary. It is built in Stuttgart, Germany, alongside the 718 Boxster, sharing much of its platform and engineering.
Initially equipped with turbocharged flat-four engines (2.0L and 2.5L), the 718 Cayman later reintroduced the naturally aspirated flat-six in the GT4 and GTS 4.0 models, offering up to 414 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of under 4 seconds in top trims like the GT4 RS, with a top speed exceeding 180 mph. For exotic car collectors, the limited-edition GT4 RS and Spyder RS variants stand out due to their track-focused engineering and rarity, with production often limited to a few thousand units per special model. Value trends show strong appreciation for early GT4 models and low-mileage examples, reflecting the car's appeal in the collector market for its balance of performance and relative accessibility compared to the 911.
