2012 Porsche Cayman R Coupe 2-door 3.4l Basalt Black Metallic 6-speed Manual on 2040-cars

Year:2012 Mileage:15005
Location:

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

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!

Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market

Wed, Oct 30 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
