Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
R Manual (987.2, 2011–2012)
The thesis
The 987.2 Cayman R is the lightweight, naturally aspirated swan song of the analogue mid-engine Porsche, with 325 hp, a proper six-speed manual, and no IMS or bore-scoring issues. Only 1,621 built globally and values have held remarkably firm; the market has favoured the stripped-out special over the S. Offers near-GT3 dynamics at a fraction of the price and strong Porsche liquidity.
