In a delightful turn of events for speed enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike, a 2006 987.1 Porsche Cayman S has zoomed into the Indian market, priced at a mere INR 28 lakh. Nestled in the vibrant locale of Nungambakkam Mahalinga Puram, Chennai, this sleek ride offers a tantalizing opportunity for those craving the Porsche experience without breaking the bank.
Owned by its second custodian, this automotive gem boasts a 3.2-liter petrol engine roaring with 276 horsepower, propelling it to a top speed of 260 km/h. Coupled with its Tiptronic S automatic transmission and having clocked a modest 12,000 km, this Cayman promises both power and pedigree at an unbeatable price.
However, as the listing gained traction, curious onlookers couldn’t resist chiming in with their musings. User life_of__san quipped, “Is it flooded or engine seized, why it’s lower priced?” Meanwhile, j0shisanjay offered reassurance, highlighting the Cayman’s prowess: “First-gen Caymans are actually great cars as essentially, they’re just Boxsters with a solid roof. Price is great but looks tired, I hope she runs well…”
Notably, phenomenalarora couldn’t help but draw parallels to virtual thrill rides, commenting, “NFS Most Wanted blacklist no. 10 vibes.”
For automotive aficionados, the Porsche 987 holds a special place in history as the second generation Boxster model. Sharing its mid-engine platform with the iconic 911 (997) series, it made waves upon its debut at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. Its fastback coupé counterpart, the Cayman, quickly gained acclaim for its performance and handling, capturing the hearts of driving enthusiasts worldwide.
While the 987 generation bid farewell in 2012, its legacy lives on in the hearts of speed demons and nostalgia-seekers. With its unmistakable styling and formidable performance, this budget-friendly Cayman promises to deliver thrills reminiscent of its glory days on the open road.
