Product Overview

Porsche Cayman 987c.2 is the facelift version of 987c Cayman compact sports car in production from 2005 to 2012. It was available with a range of flat-6 engines that displaced 2.9 to 3.4 liters.
Compared to the original 987c, the facelift models introduced PDK. This makes for a significant improvement over the lethargic (and unreliable) 5-speed automatic transmission.
Porsche has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 260L (9cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
