MOT: July 2026
Launched at the September 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Cayman S was a brave move for Porsche on the basis that it delivered nigh-on 911 performance but in a more dynamically balanced / driver friendly package. Autocar magazine judged it Britain's Best Driver’s Car of 2006 (beating a 911 Turbo into third place) and the mid-engined two-seater drew rave reviews worldwide. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster convertible with which it shared a platform, the coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 3.4-litre ‘Flat Six’ allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman S had some 291bhp/251lbft at its disposal and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and 171mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated.
This particular Cayman S was ordered new in special order 8C6 Orange, also known as RS Orange due to its introduction with the 997.1 GT3 RS. The interior, special order Cocoa leather benefits from extended leather pack, heated seats and PCCM upgrade. The car features the popular Tiptronic S gearbox and benefits from Cayman R exhaust tips; giving a much-improved tone over standard. The odometer displays 75,100 miles at the time of consignment in the hands of the vendor and just 5 former keepers.
Having owned the vehicle since August 2023, our vendor purchased it as a 'bucket list' car and what a car to choose. The striking paint scheme presents beautifully and unmarked optional 19 inch Carrera Classic wheels are shod with recently purchased Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. With an MOT valid until July 2026, it is accompanied by a collection of invoices for works undertaken. Included within this, and proving it to be a 'no expense spared' vehicle, is a recent bill totalling just over £5,000 for works including a major service including spark plugs, replacement drive belts, 4 wheel alignment, brake pads and discs all round as well as other minor improvements. Also included are a small collection of previous MOTs, two keys, previous service invoices and V5C.
