How about this for a bit of summer fun?! This is a 2006 Porsche Cayman S, Finished in Metallic Black with Black Leather interior, Tiptronic Gearbox, she has covered 87k Miles with a comprehensive service history. She drives great and is ready for her new home!
Following the success of the Porsche Boxster in the late 1990s, the Stuttgart-based marque expanded the range for those that weren’t so fond of that ‘wind in your hair’ feeling. Dubbed the Cayman (model code 987. 1), it’s essentially a fixed roof version of the Boxster, and whilst is shares the same lights, front wings, bonnet, and doors, it’s not exactly the same. For starters, the suspension had to revised to take into account there is a fixed roof instead of the convertible found in the Boxster and there were some changes to the interior. There was also the addition of a hatched back, which of course the Boxster could not offer for obvious reasons.
More importantly, though, the Cayman had more power thanks to a larger engine. Whilst the Boxster S was able to offer a 3. 2 litre flat-six, the Cayman S offered 3. 4 litres, although the Boxster S did catch up a year later. Launched in 2006, the Cayman S offered 295hp along with 340Nm torque. 0-62 is achieved in 5. 4 seconds, which even today is a respectable time, and it would continue to a top speed of 171mph. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, although a 5-speed automatic was also available until it was replaced by the highly regarded 7-speed PDK in 2009.
The 3. 4 litre engine, which takes pride of place behind the occupants, is derived from the 3. 2 litre engine used in the Boxster S but the cylinder heads are the same as those used in the 997 911, which has the VarioCam valve timing system. In fact, speaking of the 911, with Walter Rörhl at the wheel it was actually slower than the Cayman S around the Nurburgring, proving that power isn’t everything.
This car was suppleid new on the 19th April 2006 by Porsche Centre Belfast to its first owner, a Mr. Halliday of Belfast.
