Model History

The Porsche Cayman R represents the pinnacle of the first Cayman generation (Type 987.2) and was introduced as a special model with exceptional driving dynamics and a sporty design. Porsche unveiled the Cayman R at its premiere on November 17, 2010, at the LA Auto Show and began offering it on the European market in February 2011. Compared to the standard Cayman S, the Cayman R featured a weight reduction of approximately 55 kg, a slight increase in power to 330 hp, and a sport suspension lowered by 20 mm. The weight-reduction measures included aluminum doors, sportier seats, the optional omission of comfort features such as the radio or air conditioning, and a specifically sportier design. With these features, Porsche clearly positioned the Cayman R as a purist sports car for enthusiasts—more uncompromising in its handling than the standard Cayman model, yet still roadworthy.
