Finished in Guards Red over a Luxor Beige interior, this 2016 Porsche 981 Cayman S features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a mid-mounted flat-six engine. It was ordered with an optional SportDesign steering wheel and delivered new in Arizona before spending its first four years with its original owner in California. The car was later moved to New Mexico and Colorado before it was purchased by the current owner in 2024. A lifelong West Coast car with under 24k miles showing on the odometer, this Cayman S is now being offered for auction out of California.

The “S” version of the Cayman is identifiable from the base model by its red brake calipers and dual-tipped center exhaust outlet. This example is finished in Guards Red with 19” Cayman S wheels and colored Porsche crest center caps. Other equipment includes automatic projector headlamps, integrated fog lights, LED taillights, dual power heated mirrors, side air intakes, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. The seller describes the exterior as in excellent condition apart from some very minor swirl marks and minimal curb rash on one wheel. The front bumper and forward hood portion are covered in clear paint protection film. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The Luxor Beige interior includes aluminum-look trim, power-adjustable seats, an optional three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel, automatic climate control, cruise control, Porshe-branded floor mats, a sound system, and a touchscreen Porshe Communication Management (PCM) head unit. Some minor creases are noted on the driver’s seat.

A naturally aspirated 3.4-iter flat-six engine delivers up to 325 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle. The seller indicates all routine service has been kept up to date as shown on the CARAFX report. 

This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.

 

The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for your interest in my auction. This 2016 Cayman S is incredible. It is the last of the naturally aspired flat-six engines in the S model before they became turbo-charged flat fours. It is a dream and is spectacularly fun to drive. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances I regrettably have to sell. However, I will be happy to see it in the hands of its new owner who will enjoy it thoroughly.”

    Seems about right to me. 6-speeds are rare. If it were a PDK, I'd agree with you.

    @sclinch1 Yes I bought it from Turismo. I've had it since May. Registered it in June. Not sure if you saw the previous comments, only reason I'm selling is lack of time having two little kids...

    @NTP @NTP; I'm also wondering about the recent ownership history with this vehicle. It sat at a Toyota dealership in NM for quite a bit (I remember following it online) before going to auction as it didn't sell. Turismo Auto Group in Denver purchased it at auction and then relisted it for quite a bit more than the Toyota dealership tried to sell it for. Did you purchase from Turismo? You've had it only a month and you are selling already? Thanks!

  • NTP (seller) 6 months, 3 weeksago

    @fdawg4l I have not done any HPDE's, track days, etc. Canyon/mountain road driving only.

  • fdawg4l (registered bidder) 6 months, 3 weeksago

    Being a PCA member, have you done any HPDEs with this car? If so, how many?

  • NTP (seller) 6 months, 3 weeksago

    @wadds1971 Good morning and thanks for your interest in the 981. It is beautiful overall, honestly looks practically brand new.

    I believe I am the forth owner. The first person had the car in AZ and CA, second in New Mexico, third in Colorado, and now me in CA again.

    I can't give you a good answer regarding the tires. Previous owner installed the Continentals on the front only for some reason. I believe these cars had P Zeros from the factory though.

    I love the tan interior as well. I've only ever driven it on bright sunny days and never noticed any strange reflections.

    The car runs perfectly and feels extremely tight. Zero noises, rattles, squeaks etc. Underside is very clean as well. I'm fanatical about letting the oil and coolant come up to temperature before enjoying any "spirited" driving. I've loved Porsches since I was a child and am currently a PCA member. I'd keep the 981 but I have a toddler and an infant who take up most of my time. Maybe I should have kept my old 911 with rear seats for the kids haha!

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    @NTP - Sorry for the late comment in your auction, but a friend just clued me into this car this AM. Looks like a beautiful car overall, with pretty low miles. CarFax provides a somewhat confusing picture of ownership history, but I guess that's due to swapping the car between dealers recently? I count five different owners, but it's not really clear. The PPI you posted did not identify any noticeable flaws, but it sounds like a fairly simple visual exam was done a few months ago, and yes, a DME is always good to see on these cars.

    That visual inspection was fascinating re: the tires. 100mm tread depth on the front tires? Wow, that's quite a bit of mileage left! :-) And, do you have a comment on the choice of Pirelli P Zeroes for the rear tires, while using Continental Ext. Contact tires on the front? Couldn't find a matching pair when the rears wore out? Oh well, tires are easy to replace.

    I love the tan interior on these cars, but I'm always concerned about possible reflections interfering with the view through the windshield on a bright, sunny day. Is this effect very noticeable on this car? I see it has spent most of its life in southern, sunny areas.

    Thanks for any responses you can provide. Looks like a nice car, but wish we had just a bit more technical info to rule out any hidden issues. Seems like it has changed hands often lately, and one wonders why.

    Can you share a recent multi point inspection report? Usually dealerships provide it for free during service.

  • NTP (seller) 6 months, 4 weeksago

    @srb1194 No I do not have one.

  • srb1194 (registered bidder) 6 months, 4 weeksago

    Is a DME report available?
