• 2.7L engine (noted for avoiding bore scoring issues common in 3.4L S models)
• Factory 19” 997 Turbo-style wheels
• Rare Carrera Red full leather interior
• Tasteful upgrades: DesignTek exhaust, short shifter, wheel spacers
• Extensive preventative maintenance
• Two keys, original books and manuals

Mechanical & Maintenance
The following preventative maintenance and upgrades were carried out during the current ownership:
• Air/Oil Separator (AOS) replaced
• Oil Cooler replaced
• Front Right Shock Absorber replaced
• All fluids changed (engine oil, gearbox, brake, coolant)
• Suspension bushings replaced
• Maintained exclusively on 10W60 synthetic oil
These updates address several known wear areas on the 987 platform and ensure reliable, turn-key ownership for the next enthusiast.
Modifications
• DesignTek performance exhaust delivers a throatier tone with added character while remaining daily-drivable
• Short-throw shifter sharpens engagement and improves feedback
• Hub-centric wheel spacers with extended lug bolts enhance the stance and handling feel
Interior
The cabin is finished in the striking Carrera Red full leather, a rare and highly sought-after option. It features:
• Leather-wrapped dash, door panels, seats, and steering wheel
• 5-speed gear lever trimmed in matching red
• Porsche-branded sill plates
• Factory sound system
Overall, the interior presents with light wear consistent with age and mileage but remains an elegant and driver-focused space.
Exterior
The car’s Basalt Black Metallic paint shows well, with strong gloss and even finish. It rides on factory 19-inch 997 Turbo-style wheels, which were a premium factory option and elevate the visual presence of the car over standard 17- or 18-inch offerings.
Wheel arches are filled out nicely by the spacers, lending the car a more aggressive stance without affecting drivability.
Driving Experience
The 2.7L flat-six produces 245 horsepower and revs willingly to its 7,200 rpm redline. Unlike its larger 3.4L sibling, this engine is not plagued by cylinder bore scoring issues and is known for its long-term durability. Paired with a short-throw shifter and a responsive chassis, this Cayman offers one of the most rewarding analog driving experiences of the modern era.
The DesignTek exhaust adds an engaging soundtrack, while the suspension refresh keeps the handling tight and predictable.
