Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
987.2 Cayman R manual (2011–2012)
The thesis
The Cayman R—325hp 3.4L flat-six, 1,265kg, lightweight wheels, carbon buckets—is the purest mid-engined Porsche before turbocharging. Only 1,621 built globally; UK market shows Rs at £40k–£50k+, well above the standard S. 987.2 eliminated IMS/bore-scoring issues. Limited production, last naturally aspirated Cayman special, and strong collector interest underpin value.
