FOR SALE: 2006 Porsche Cayman S (987)

Porsche waited until the second generation of its Boxster model to introduce a compact coupe version. Dubbed the Cayman, it quickly became a hugely desirable, reasonably affordable sportscar that did its revered badge justice.

Based on the Boxster of the same generation, the Cayman is a compact, mid-engined sportscar that made Porsche thrills accessible to a far wider audience. Any concern that it was a "poseur's" car were quickly dispelled when the first reviews came out - this was a proper Porsche, delivering sizzling performance and engagement.

The 987-generation Cayman S is powered by a 3.4L flat-6 engine that delivers 217kW and 340Nm of torque. Power goes to the rear wheels via a slick 6-speed manual transmission. The Cayman S accelerates to 100kph in 5.4 seconds and has a 275kph top speed. It's also worth noting that the 987 Cayman generation was the last to feature hydraulically-assisted steering.

This particular example dates from 2006 and is finished in a stunning Seal Grey exterior paint, with a black leather interior. It has covered only 53 000km from new and boasts a full service history at Porsche SA and Porsche specialists. It is in immaculate condition.
