Description

Porsche Cayman S 3.4 - 295 PS Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six For sale is my Porsche Cayman S 3.4, finished in a fantastic blue and presented in the classic first-generation Cayman shape. Importantly, this is the 3.4-litre Cayman S, rather than the standard 2.7-litre Cayman. The S combines the excellent mid-engined Cayman chassis with Porsche's larger naturally aspirated flat-six, producing 295 PS (approximately 291 bhp) and 340 Nm of torque. Performance The 3.4-litre Cayman S delivers the sort of performance that still feels genuinely quick today: - 3.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six - 295 PS / approximately 291 bhp - 340 Nm of torque - 0-62 mph in approximately 5.4 seconds - Top speed of approximately 171 mph - Rear-wheel drive - Mid-engined layout While the performance figures are impressive, the real appeal of the Cayman S is the way it delivers them. Driver Experience The Cayman has long been regarded as one of Porsche's best-balanced driver's cars, and the 3.4 S is particularly special. With the flat-six positioned immediately behind the cabin and ahead of the rear axle, the car has excellent balance and remarkably predictable handling. The steering is direct and communicative, giving the driver a genuine sense of what the front tyres are doing. The chassis is one of the highlights. It feels composed and confidence-inspiring on a quick road, with very little unnecessary weight or movement. The mid-engine layout means the car changes direction exceptionally well and feels planted through faster corners. The naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six is equally important to the experience. Power builds progressively with engine speed, encouraging you to use the rev range rather than relying on turbocharged torque. As the revs rise, so does the character of the engine, accompanied by the distinctive Porsche flat-six soundtrack directly behind the cabin. It's a very analogue driving experience compared with many modern performance cars. The combination of hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated engine, compact dimensions and mid-engined chassis gives the driver a level of involvement that is increasingly difficult to find. The car also features the deployable rear spoiler, which sits neatly within the bodywork when lowered and raises automatically at speed. Selling because I have 2 children and it isnt practical or cost effective for me to keep this car. I have just changed the oil and filters on this car.
