2012 Porsche Cayman R - Car is mint - Garaged, Never Tracked - Brakes, Tires, Oil, Plugs - May 2015 (4k miles since service) - Horn & Shift Cable replaced Under Warranty June 2015Excerpt from Popular Mechanic Article;What's New: The passion for Porsches comes from a deep connection between man and machine. The more hard-edged, stripped-down and pure that Porsche model is–the tighter the bond. The Porsche Cayman R is so involving it practically welds itself to the driver, and to create this minimalist masterpiece, Porsche engineers carved away as much weight as possible. They trimmed 121 pounds from the Cayman S by using aluminum door skins, carbon-fiber racing-style seats and new wheels. The company also dropped what some might consider necessary luxuries, such as air conditioning and a stereo system. Even the interior door handles are gone, replaced by fabric pull loops just like the Porsche 911 GT3. It's hardcore.Under the hood, the Cayman's 3.4-liter flat six remains largely the same for 2012, but gets a 10-hp boost from a new exhaust and engine-management tweaks, bringing the total to 330 hp. A six-speed manual comes standard and provides the best power-to-weight ratio. To increase the Cayman's already deft handling, the R version is lowered by 20 mm, has a wider track, wears modified sway bars and is fitted with a standard limited-slip differential. You're the king of the road in the Cayman R. There is simply endless grip that feels so accessible that you will push this car harder than you would a Porsche 911. The feedback from the fat Alcantara steering wheel might be the most direct and natural of any car we've driven. The suspension tune is equally brilliant on any surface. Typically, any car with an "R" in its name would have an uncomfortable ride. But in this case, the R doesn't stand for -rough. The one drawback is that the supportive and comfortable seats do tend to hold in the heat that hovers in the cabin because of the car's lack of a/c. Our advice? Wear shorts.Favorite Detail: In a car that drives so well, it's odd that our favorite details would be largely visual. But the combination of the retro green paint, Porsche door-side graphics, blacked-out trim and that discreet fixed-wing spoiler makes the Cayman R one tough-looking machine.The Bottom Line: The Cayman R is perhaps the best Porsche we've ever driven. It takes everything that's important about a sports car and amplifies it. Unfortunately, though, this is a Porsche, so the price keeps it out of most hands.
