Porsche Cayman Comparison | 987.1 vs 987.2

In this video we compare the external differences between a Porsche Cayman 987.1 Base against a Porsche Cayman 987.2 Sport.

During the making of this video a number of differences were noted, that I didn't know existed beforehand.

Enjoying Life & Cars To The MAX!!

Maybe next time, park them a bit further apart? Hahah

[suncheeyan]

Amazing! Thanks @Maxrevs for another wonderful video. Wow and I thought the changes were engine/transmission related but those subtle difference really stand out.
Dials - the S have the white dials and the base are usually black but can be optioned to a colour of your choice I believe

I'd take the gen 1 exterior with gen 2 interior. Rounder lights the better

[kacperc]

IMO gen 1 is better looking on every aspect (both interior and extreior). Gen 2 looks more dated, whitle Gen 1 is more... timeless?

[pacrat]

Wow this is crazy! Never even noticed most of these. I must admit, I think the gen1 is the more cohesive design. The colour of the rear badge is silver on S models, and grey on base models hence why you have a silver one. White dials also 'exclusive' to the S but it was possible to spec.

Interesting and subtle differences I had never noticed before. But I was surprised that they didn't mention the obvious and very visible difference in the rear bumper, where a plastic vertical strut was added to the vents on either side of the exhaust. The 987.1 has no struts.

3.4 S have white dials 2.7 and 2.9 have black dials, the black edition 3.4 have black dials and so do the cayman R ... all exciting stuff :-)

[MasterOfNone]

Why not just park them closer to each other, side by side????

[patrykwolinski]

Brilliant video, so I guess you cannot use the wing of 987.1 on the 987.2 model then?

[GEMfanatica]

Gen 1 looks better. More authentic and true to Porsche

[NGT]

Fact. The 911 was the first car ever with a rear wiper! That being said I don’t have one on my 997.2 nor on my 987.2. To bad.

[julianr]

Love the rear wiper. Even on 718 I’d spec a rear wiper. Way cooler with the wiper. This video makes me start to think that the 987 might actually be the best looking model, bit like the early 911’s before they have now got too fat

[josephlim]

The centre stack PCM and Climate control is black in .2 and silver in .1

[uweheinrich]

and you do not need the rear window wiper....even in looks better without...

[slucky]

Interesting video Max. Brave in that weather😂. My 981 doesn’t have a wiper and I think if I had the choice I would spec one. They do clutter the look of the rear more but in this weather I can never see anything out of the rear window.

[tomingrassiaimages]

like the lights on 1 better mine is a 2. rear light gen 2 better like brighter badging

[tobiassavage]

How adults play spot the difference 😂. Nice cars...im looking for a cayman now

[FliesFLL]

Items such as name color and gauge color are Porsche options.

[jptak]

Cool!

I knew some of these. What I didn’t know was the headlight differences. That means different front fenders and bumper cover too.

[deepthisdeepthis]

those aftermarket foglamp-to-LEDS (LED spars) enhances the look, IMO, of the gen1 to as good or better than the gen.2. the throttle booster and a numeric shifter fill out the aftermarket products that i highly recommend.

overall the differences are slight, but with the LED spars the gen1 gets the nod for me.
