Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
GT4 (981) – Manual coupe (2015–2016)
The thesis
The 981 Cayman GT4 was the first mid-engined GT4 and the last with a naturally aspirated 3.8L flat-six manual before the 4.0L 718. Limited one-year production run (model years 2015–2016). Recent data shows average sales at $107,290 (£84k), with values appreciating from £77k in 2024 to projected £96k+ now. The GT team's first Cayman, it shares suspension DNA with the 997 GT3—strong collector validation, still mid-cycle with upside as the 718 GT4 4.0 remains in production but electric Cayman looms.
