The 987 Cayman (2006–2012) introduced the Cayman coupe as a standalone model alongside the Boxster. Powered by a naturally aspirated flat-six — 2.7L base, 3.4L S — it offered sharper handling than the contemporary 911 at a significantly lower price of entry.
The 987.2 (2009–2012) added direct injection and optional PDK. Both sub-generations are budget-friendly, well-supported by independent shops, and genuinely rewarding to drive. IMS bearing concern on early 987.1 cars — verify bearing status before buying.
