About

The Porsche Cayman R (2011) is a finely tuned version of the Cayman S, designed to enhance its already impressive performance credentials. With a 3.4-litre flat-six engine producing 326bhp and 273lb ft of torque, it offers a significant boost in power.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Porsche Cayman R (2011) is a masterpiece of engineering and driving dynamics. This car excels in every aspect that a sports car enthusiast would crave. With its 3.4-litre flat-six engine producing 326bhp, it offers a thrilling drive that is both powerful and refined. The lowered suspension and revised settings make it incredibly agile and poised, especially on twisty roads. The manual gearbox, with its well-judged ratios and mechanical feel, is a joy to use, although the PDK option is also seamless. However, the ride can be choppy on rough roads, and the stripped-out spec might not appeal to everyone. Despite these minor flaws, the Cayman R is a brilliant package that combines practicality with visceral driving pleasure, making it a standout choice for those seeking a pure driving experience.

Price

In India, the Porsche Cayman R (2011) would be a rare and expensive find, given its import status and limited availability. The ex-showroom price for such a model, if it were to be imported, could range from approximately 1.5 crore to 2 crore, depending on the condition, mileage, and any customizations. On-road prices would add another layer of costs including taxes, registration, and insurance, potentially pushing the total to around 2.5 crore to 3 crore. This makes the Cayman R a luxury item for serious collectors and enthusiasts who are willing to invest in a high-performance vehicle that offers unparalleled driving satisfaction.

Latest Updates

Friday, 01 June 2012 12:30 PM Porsche recalled certain 2011-12 models, including the Cayman, to repair a potentially defective seat belt anchor plate. This recall underscores the importance of safety even in high-performance vehicles like the Cayman R. I think its reassuring to see manufacturers taking proactive steps to ensure safety.

Sunday, 15 May 2011 07:36 AM The pricing of the Cayman R was a topic of discussion, with the base model starting at around £51,728. While some might find the pricing strategy and optioning a bit complex, the overall package of the Cayman R justifies the cost. I believe that for those who can afford it, the Cayman R is a worthwhile investment.

Sunday, 01 May 2011 04:18 PM In terms of driving experience, the Cayman R is praised for its brilliant handling and responsiveness. The stiffer suspension and recalibrated anti-roll bars improve body control, and the steering accuracy is enhanced. However, the fixed-rate suspension can be too firm for rough roads, particularly in the UK. I think this makes it essential to test drive the car on various road conditions before purchasing.

Wednesday, 20 April 2011 09:21 AM In comparison to other cars in its class, the Cayman R stands out for its balanced mid-engined layout, making it more accessible and less risky to drive. It is often compared to the Lotus Evora S and BMW M3, but its unique blend of performance and handling sets it apart. I think the Cayman R offers a unique driving experience that is hard to match.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 02:53 PM When it comes to mileage, the Porsche Cayman R (2011) is not designed for fuel efficiency but for performance. In normal driving conditions, you can expect around 8-10 kmpl, which can drop to around 6-7 kmpl during spirited driving. Given its sports car nature, running costs will be higher due to the premium fuel it requires and the potential for higher maintenance costs. However, for those who prioritize the driving experience over economy, the Cayman Rs mileage is a minor trade-off for the exhilaration it provides.
