The 981 generation Cayman, produced from 2013 to 2016, holds a special place for Porsche enthusiasts. It's the last Cayman series to feature naturally aspirated flat-6 engines outside of the GT models, offering a sound and throttle response that its turbocharged 718 successor doesn't replicate. With a lighter and stiffer chassis than the preceding 987, the 981 provides an exceptional balance of daily usability and back-road performance, powered by either a 2.7L or a 3.4L engine.
Collectors and drivers value the 981 for its analog feel combined with modern amenities. The GTS model, with its 340 hp engine and standard performance options, is a sweet spot, while the limited-production GT4 with its 3.8L engine from the 911 Carrera S is the top of the range. The market is stable, with an average sale price around $43,712 over the last few years. Base models offer an accessible entry point, but the S and GTS variants are the most sought after for their extra power and features.
Prices range from around $35,000 for higher-mileage base models to over $100,000 for low-mileage GT4s.
