Few modern Porsches have achieved cult status quite as quickly as the Cayman R. Lighter, sharper and more focused than the standard Cayman S, it represents one of the purest driver’s cars to emerge from Stuttgart in the modern era. With its reduced weight, lowered suspension and enthusiast-focused specification, the Cayman R has become firmly established as a future classic — and examples as well-preserved and well-specified as this are increasingly difficult to find. Finished in the wonderfully rare and eye-catching Peridot Green, this 2012 Cayman R is a car that perfectly captures the spirit of Porsche’s lightweight philosophy. The colour alone sets it apart, but the specification only improves from there. Equipped with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, lightweight bucket seats and factory Spyder alloys, it possesses all the ingredients that enthusiasts seek when searching for the definitive Cayman R experience. Perhaps most remarkably, this example has covered just 13,929 miles from new. Its condition and provenance reflect that exceptionally low mileage, presenting today as an extraordinarily well-kept and highly original example. The accompanying service history is equally reassuring, with maintenance carried out by both Porsche main dealers and respected marque specialists throughout its life: * 07/08/2014 – Porsche Centre Bristol – Service – 8,752 miles * 09/09/2015 – Porsche Specialist – Service and brake fluid change – 12,080 miles * 29/06/2017 – Porsche Specialist – Service – 13,636 miles * 23/03/2026 – Philip Raby Specialist Cars – 13,820 miles The most recent visit included significant preventative maintenance and preparation, comprising: * Major service for the 987.2 platform * Front brake discs and pads * Rear brake discs and pads * Brake fluid change In addition, the car has recently been fitted with a new set of tyres and benefits from a fresh MOT, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed immediately. The Cayman R occupies a unique place within Porsche’s back catalogue. Offering a level of engagement that many regard as absent from newer performance cars, it combines hydraulic steering, a naturally aspirated flat-six and a manual gearbox in a package that feels perfectly judged for road use. As values continue to strengthen and the best examples become ever more sought after, finding a low-mileage, manual, bucket-seat Cayman R in Peridot Green is becoming an increasingly rare opportunity. As ever, we have a full digital file available on request, including additional images, walkaround videos, and service history scans. The car is available to view by appointment at our West London showroom.
