The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are mid-engine two-seater sports cars manufactured and marketed by German automobile manufacturer Porsche across four generations—as a two-door, two-seater roadster (Boxster) and a three-door, two-seater fastback coupé (Cayman).
The Cayman 2-door fastback coupé is derived from the 987. For the 2007 model year, the base Boxster received a revised engine featuring VarioCam Plus to provide a 3.7 kW (5.0 hp) power increase (183 kW (245 hp) the same as the Cayman).

For a while at least, it seemed like I wasn’t missing much. And forgoing hobbies and interests frees up a lot of time. My checking account remained balanced, the grass was mowed every week, and the grocery list was maintained to just a few items. I was generally content, if not a bit bored. And then one summer day she appeared from nowhere; a stunn...
Deliberately positioned between the Boxster and the legendary 911 Carrera, the Cayman filled much more than just a hole in the marketplace. It allowed mere mortals to dream; a possibility of something exclusive but tangible. Though familiar, the Cayman had lines and curves that were uniquely compelling. And it spoke to an undiscovered market of whi...
Some could argue that Porsche dropped the ball with the Cayman; they should have increased the horsepower to complement its extraordinary design. Conspiracy theorists alleged that this might have challenged her older sibling, the 911 Carrera. And Porsche would never threaten its corporate flagship. The Cayman is first and foremost a mid-engine, rea...
In a marketing move bordering on genius, Porsche introduced the “S” version prior to releasing the base Cayman almost a year later. This was somewhat unusual but became a standard for future releases from Porsche (witness the recent Macan debut). The entry level Cayman was marginally cheaper with reasonably comparable performance. By offering this ...
Things cruised along smoothly with brisk sales and continued positive press. You would think Porsche might have left well enough alone (at least for a few more years when original owners might look to upgrade). But in 2009, the second generation Cayman was unveiled. It was available in the base and S models, and often referred to as more of an impr...
Earlier in 2013, Porsche released what they referred to as the third generation Cayman. This is somewhat a controversial description in that the two versions described above as Generation 1 and 2 are often portrayed as the same production line since the designs are virtually identical. I will take sides with Porsche in that there was such an enormo...
Controversial electro-mechanical power steering now replaces the old hydraulics. Many have criticized this move, and the jury is still out on that upgrade with two camps of opinion; those that love the new feel, and those that loathe it. Other technical features like PTV brake-induced vectoring and active transmission mounts stiffen in cornering wi...
So where does this put the Cayman in Porsche’s grand strategy? While there will forever be comparisons between the Cayman and the Carrera, there is little doubt the 911 will remain the corporate cornerstone; the product that eternally and undeniably defines the Porsche vision. But you have to at least consider that the top of the line Cayman is sti...
The Cayman could be considered responsible for a whole new class of devotees; those with an obsession for purpose, an insistence on quality and an appreciation for value, all without alienating existing customers. How so? As a Cayman owner, I am not the first to have said I would think about owning a Boxster (although I don’t care for convertibles)...
The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engined two-seater sports car produced by the German manufacturer Porsche. The name “Cayman” is derived from the Caiman lizard, which is native to the Caribbean and Central America.
