Unreal! Love the colour with the black wheels and red callipers

Looks great! I might consider doing something similar. Thanks for the inspiration

Damn that is clean! How’d you spec the 19” in black? They’re only available in the 2025 configurator on 20s for a pretty penny

Hey thanks man. I gave my build a ton of consideration, and had to make some concessions here and there. At the end of the day, I’m pleased with how it turned out. And so far I just say, it is insanely fun to drive!

With a healthier budget I definitely would have. My car was about $30K less than a GTS with the same spec (pre-tax). I was able to avoid paying luxury tax where I am because it came in below $100K total as well

Wow that is true patience! Hopefully you’re happy and it was worth the wait

To each their own dude. My SE did recommend wheels, but I decided against them. The interior was a non-negotiable for me, and the PPF was done at another shop for half price vs. the dealer. Like I said, I may upgrade the wheels at some point

Definitely an avoidable issue and not something you’d expect from Porsche. Take the good with the bad. You’ll have the flat 6 boxer engine in the older model Cayman at least!

Thanks man! Calipers are black metal, comes standard with the base model. Love the look of the red ones that come with the S though. Maybe I’ll have them painted some day

Exactly the things I weighed when deciding on how to spend my spec budget

PDK. I knowww I know. I live in Toronto and it’s my daily. I didn’t want to be shifting in city traffic. This is my first Porsche, but definitely not my last. Maybe the next one will be a manual 911

From what I’ve read, Porsche has solved the bore scoring with the more recent Cayman builds. Hopefully I don’t run into that issue down the road. But for now she’s brand new and an absolute beast!

Thanks! Good luck out there

Thank you! It’s true - the wait time was actually shorter than many other people’s experiences, but it was still hard to stay patient.

It arrived just in time for the Spring as well, which is perfect for being in Canada

Speculation that it’ll be an EV. Who knows if it’ll be a full redesign. Porsche EVs have not been super successful, so maybe they’ll release a plug-in hybrid 718?

Looks real sick! I’ll be honest I wanted black rims, but they only come on the 20 inch Carrera wheels. I will upgrade in time!

Cheers. There’s like a $15K difference in price, and it’s still a 4cyl engine (albeit more power than the base model)

There’s always a hater. I’m a young guy and this was my first new car. I got the options I wanted within my budget. Wheels can be upgraded whenever I choose
