Up for auction is perhaps the finest Cayman R for sale in the United States today!  I am the second owner of this awesome machine which is destined to become a mid-engine classic.  This is a 2012 Porsche Cayman R 987 6-speed in brilliant Basalt Black Metallic over Sand Beige full leather interior.  I purchased this vehicle through a business lease from Gaudin Porsche Las Vegas in January 2013 with 4331 miles on it.  The previous and original owner was an older gentleman who purchased the vehicle from this same dealership in 2012.  The vehicle has spent its entire life in Las Vegas and has been meticulously maintained with the renowned certified Porsche mechanics at Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas.  Last maintenance was in October of 2013 in which it passed the Porsche world class inspection and received oil and filter change with the bi-annual hydraulic brake system flush at 8495 miles.

Please see below for equipment, options, detailed pictures, and YouTube walkaround video as well as Roadfly.com Cayman R test drive and car review.  Briefly this Cayman R is completely stock and unmodified, as it should be, just as it was when shipped to the USA from the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, Germany.  It has 15005 miles on it at present and has been my daily driver for the past 1.5 years under a business lease through my occupation as a physician.  It has never been tracked and comes heavily optioned with full sand beige leather interior, PCM with Navigation, heated seats, 19” Turbo II wheels, sound package plus, air conditioning, and Sport Chrono package.  I have the original window sticker from 2012 with the full list of standard equipment and options including the total purchase price with options at $84,690.  It is currently under factory warranty through 2016 or 50K miles.

In my 1.5 years of ownership I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of driving what I consider the best pure 2-seat sports car in existence today.  The connection to the road and the absolute control of the mid-engine platform with the 6-speed manual transmission is stunning and effortless.  From the moment I first drove this Cayman R through a mountain pass outside Las Vegas I knew how special this car really was.  I have owned a 1997 Acura NSX and a 2010 Mustang Shelby GT500 and neither vehicle approaches the refinement, balance, and power of this incredibly engineered machine.  Average mpg is rated 19-27, and I have averaged 25.1mpg over my ownership tenure.  My only reason for selling at this time is that I am looking to purchase a home in Las Vegas and need to free up the funds to make this purchase and my favorite toy has to go.  I am more than willing to discuss any questions you may have about the vehicle and all service records are available at Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas if requested.  Please message me through ebay and we can discuss over email or by phone any questions or concerns.  The vehicle is also for sale locally and I may end the auction early if a buyer is found before the auction closes.  Current mileage is a little over 15K miles and that number may rise by 100 or so miles during this 10 day auction, however once a buyer is found it will be kept in my garage until arrangements are made to either pick up the vehicle in person or have it shipped at the new owner's expense.  In terms of payment, I will accept payment of cash in person or wire transfer.  Once the funds have cleared, I will overnight payment to Porsche Financial Services in New York and once the lien is cleared and title released I will release it to the buyer along with the vehicle.  Good luck with bidding!

Porsche 918 Spyder recalled over bad wiring harness

Fri, May 22 2015

An investigation of customer concerns has led to a global recall of the Porsche 918 Spyder, including 223 units in North America. The carmaker said that a carbon fiber component can damage a radiator fan wiring harness, so it is contacting owners directly to have their cars brought in for a service inspection. The issue affects cars built through the end of April 2015; cars built after that use a revised design. Dealers will remount the wiring harness, a process that should take half a day. You'll find more information in the press release below. Related Video: Porsche recalling 918 Spyder models for service inspection Precautionary recall: affected customers will be contacted directly Atlanta. Porsche has issued a global recall for 918 Spyder models that have already been delivered. This precautionary recall for a service inspection affects 223 vehicles in the United States. This is because the electric wiring harness for a radiator fan in vehicles manufactured up until the end of April 2015 could be damaged by a carbon-fiber component. The wiring harness will be examined and optimally remounted in the work shop. The cause was identified following a detailed examination of inquiries. Corrective measures have subsequently been taken in manufacturing. The owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by Porsche Cars North America. The service visit, which will be free of charge, will be arranged as quickly as possible and the inspection will likely require the vehicle to be left in the shop for half a day.

Porsche, Hyundai invest in WayRay augmented reality for road and track

Wed, Sep 19 2018

A number of incipient future technologies such as solid state batteries, Level 5 autonomy, and augmented reality simply await the breakthrough moments that will enable mass-market scalability. The last one of those took another step closer to its breakthrough with news of Porsche leading an $80 million Series C investment round for six-year-old Switzerland-based AR startup WayRay. The German carmaker was joined in the augmented reality play by Hyundai, JVCKENWOOD, China Merchants Capital, a group of sovereign wealth funds, and Alibaba Group, a previous investor. Porsche tied up with WayRay earlier this year on an AR project during Startup Autobahn, a European initiative devoted to automotive innovation. Sounds like the cooperation proved fruitful, with Porsche saying, "Their innovative ideas and products have great potential. We are convinced that on this basis we'll be able to offer our clients customized Porsche solutions," and putting its money where its windshield is. Blue chips have apparently backed the company because its AR solution is better than others out there, being smaller than competitor units, adaptable to any make and model, and usable over a much wider field of view, easing the strain on a driver's eyes. Hyundai said it wants to use the technology in its cars, and for applications beyond vehicles like an entire AR ecosystem incorporating smart buildings and smart cities. On the mundane safety side, the AR system could highlight crosswalks, warning signs, parking spots, construction zones, and provide more precise navigation directions all within the driver's natural line-of-sight. Porsche, unsurprisingly, is thinking about the performance aspects and widening the suite of digital services it can offer to customers. A short video and a series of graphics showed how a potential WayRay system could enhance the driving experience, especially on track. The Porsche driver not only gets an image of the ideal driving line laid down ahead of him, he could get prompts for braking and turning, a "ghost" car acting as rabbit to show him where he gains and loses time, lap times, track position, and more. As much as this kind of feature makes sense for the Porsche brand and the new Cayman GT4 owner working to hook up his personal best at his local track, WayRay's possibilities seem like an even better boon for hypercar buyers.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.
