Default How many 2014-2016 Cayman sold were S models?

Porsche sold approx 10,500 - 981 Caymans in the US.

does anyone have any idea how many could be S model only?

s - 4,641
gts - 1,388

total - 9,775

I guess in the world of relativity today,,, that is fairly exclusive. Nice. I think my 83 928 is at about 2-3 thousand, plus the years taking it's toll with wrecks and neglect. Eventually I hope that will translate into more value! Regardless - I love it.....

Sorry I'm late to the party by a couple of months on this thread.

Total production numbers equal 11,163 (not the 9775 mentioned above) + the 265 Black Edition models also mentioned above for a total of 11,428.

Still a pretty low number.

where are you getting your numbers from? from all the websites I was able to find that had sales numbers, all had it between 10,500 - 10,600 sales total for 2014-2016.

The numbers are from the “VINANALYTICS total produced” number quoted above. The actual sum of all the numbers equals well over 11400, not the 10500ish quoted above. Add the numbers above and you’ll see

The 11425ish number is also similar to the Edmunds/NADA total 981 (cayman only) sales figures— I’ll need to see if I can find the spreadsheet pull that was done by another rennlist member a couple of years ago.

I have a Vinanalytics subscription but don't know how to do the 'total produced' search you mention...do you mind explaining?
I'm curious about 981 Boxster GTS #'s.
Thanks.

Interesting and somewhat surprising that my FD RX-7, at a bit under 14K for the US, is less rare than my 981 CS.

Yes, they are very cool and gorgeous to boot, if you can find a clean one. I'm an original owner

In reply to fuhrius above---I wish I knew the methodology but the numbers above were pulled by someone else in this thread; perhaps if you tag them they would be able to explain the process.

In reply to tomeks above---The spreadsheet below was compiled by another member years ago, I would give them the proper credit but I don't remember their username. It was pulled either from an NADA site or Edmunds I think, but I'm not sure.

It represents Caymans only; no Boxster numbers included. Ignore the GT4 number of zero; if I remember correctly, the pull was intended for non GT4 models so that is why those fields are blank.

Kind of nuts, only 265 Black Editions, lol. That’s ridiculously low. And only just the one year of production too. It was obviously a marketing grab, but so was the GTS for this 981 generation in comparison with how the new 4.0L sits within the current lineup.

Other than the boring color (black), I’m super happy with mine. And now I’ll just tell myself and everyone I meet at cars & coffee that it’s a super rare breed of Cayman…only 264 other examples exist, ha!

I really dig the 981 Cayman though. Only 3 years of production here in the US. Super distinguishable front end too (ugly, I mean classic round fog/daytime running lights & the stacked headlamps). Terrible gas mileage, probably a big carbon footprint, obnoxious exhaust note especially with the factory equipped PSE. And no peeling buttons like my OG 987.1.

I think the chart explains the appeal of the GTS in my mind. In 2016 there were 48 less S sold then GTS but the appeal of the GTS is that most cars have all the options you need, while trying to find a S with the options you would want (adaptive seats, PSE, PTV, PSAM or Sport Suspension) was much harder. Hence I believe the GTS has done well to keep its value relative to the market. I think some 2018/2019 GTS (flat 4) are around the same price for comparative 2015/2016 GTS. All I know is that the more I drive my GTS, I plan to keep her for a long time. They got everything right in those years.

Everyday Driver feels the same -
