2008 Porsche Cayman S Sport

The 987 Cayman S occupies an interesting middle ground right now. It’s newer than the 996-generation 911s for around the same price, but mostly flies under the radar in terms of profile as a modern classic. Much like the 944 Turbo was a few generations ago, that means you get the most for your dollar – at least, in many cases. Today’s car is number 460 of the 700 limited-edition Sport models. Was the “S” not enough sport for you already? No problem, the S Sport upped the ante with a remap of the DME to 303 horsepower, some GT3-esque exterior details, and you could get them in GT3 Green, as we see here. Of course, being eye-searing green and a limited model, this one isn’t cheap.

As these go, this is about as desirable as a first-generation Cayman S gets. Is it $53k desirable? Well, that scratch gets you into a newer model, or at least one with far fewer miles. However, as mentioned before the break, this is a limited-edition Porsche in a special color, and it’ll likely retain its value far better than most. Viewed in that light, it might not be a horrible longer-term keeper.
