Japan Used Porsche Cayman for Sale

The Porsche Cayman is a rear mid-engined, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany launched in the 2006 model year. The Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster. Cayman is an alternative spelling of caiman, a reptile in the same family as the alligator.

After two years of development, the first model of the fastback coupé to be released was the Cayman S. The S suffix indicated that this was a higher performance version of a then unreleased normal model. The Cayman fastback coupé and the second generation Boxster roadster shared the same mid-engined platform and many components, including the front fenders and trunk lid, side doors, headlights, taillights, and the forward portion of the interior.

A 5-speed manual transaxle is standard on the Cayman, while a 6-speed manual is a default for the S and an option on the base. An electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transaxle was also available on the S and the non-S version. The 3.4-litre flat-6 boxer engine in the first generation Cayman S was derived from the 3.2-litre that was used in the Boxster S, with cylinder heads from the Porsche 997 S's 3.8-litre motor.
