Porsche Cayman 2012 (61) R Manual

About this Porsche Cayman

Archer Sportscars are delighted to offer this superb 2012 Porsche Cayman R, presented in timeless GT Silver Metallic and equipped with the highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox.

With just three owners from new, a comprehensive service history comprising both Porsche Main Dealers and respected independent specialists, and an excellent selection of factory options, this is a particularly appealing example of one of Porsche's most celebrated modern driver's cars. Developed as the ultimate evolution of the 987 Cayman, the Cayman R was conceived with one clear objective – to deliver the purest and most engaging driving experience possible.

At its heart sits Porsche's naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six engine, producing 330 bhp and delivering its power through a wonderfully precise 6-speed manual transmission. The combination of instant throttle response, hydraulic steering and exceptional mid-engined balance makes the Cayman R an extraordinarily rewarding car to drive. Weight reduction was central to the Cayman R's development, with Porsche removing approximately 55 kg compared with an equivalently equipped Cayman S. Combined with a 20 mm lower sports suspension, lightweight 19-inch Boxster Spyder wheels, aluminium doors and distinctive fixed rear spoiler, the result is a car with outstanding agility, precision and driver involvement.

An Exceptional Driver's Porsche

What makes the Cayman R so special is not simply its performance figures, but the remarkable connection it creates between car and driver. Its naturally aspirated engine, beautifully weighted hydraulic steering, compact dimensions and exceptional chassis balance combine to deliver an analogue driving experience that has become increasingly rare in modern performance cars. The addition of Porsche Sports Exhaust makes this example particularly appealing, allowing the glorious flat-six soundtrack to take centre stage, while the manual gearbox ensures every journey is an occasion. Finished in GT Silver Metallic, the Cayman R's distinctive styling is both purposeful and understated, with its fixed rear spoiler, lightweight wheels and lowered stance giving it a presence that remains every bit as special today as when it was first introduced.

A Desirable Modern Classic

Produced for only a short period, the Cayman R has developed an enviable reputation among Porsche enthusiasts and is widely regarded as one of the finest driver's cars of its generation. As naturally aspirated, manual Porsches become increasingly sought after, the Cayman R occupies a particularly appealing position in Porsche's modern-classic line-up. With its desirable manual transmission, Porsche Sports Exhaust, Sport Chrono Package Plus, excellent ownership history and comprehensive servicing record, this GT Silver Metallic example represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a very special Porsche.

A car to be enjoyed, cherished and appreciated for everything that makes Porsche's finest driver's cars so rewarding.
