These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Hi Vin WP0AA2A85GK171892 I am looking at a Black Edition, but things seem a bit dubious. First, it is advertised with a 2.7 engine ........ and, has the wrong wheels for sure. I talked to the dealer and he is positive the thing came with that engine. (2.7) I was positive the Black Edtion came with the 3.4 He is adamant about it i would think of anything it would be a 2.9 if not a 3.4 Ok folks, how do I solve the engine question? help! Thanx in advance!

POST 2Original post

2016 Porsche Cayman Black Edition and New special edition: Cayman Black Edition both confirm it's a 2.7L.. I would have expected the 2.9L as well, but the dealer seems correct (I'm amazed, honestly)

POST 3Original post

That would make it RARE in a really weird way! ALL the hype about it being just like the R model, except having AC and radios just went flying out the window.

POST 4Original post

Could it be the old-style 2.7 ? or a A1 style ? This weird option makes no sense to me at all.

POST 5Original post

The 981 BE were Base models with a few upgrades, a nameplate and a lot of black paint. It would have the Base's 2.7 L engine. The 2.9 engine and Cayman R edition were of 987 vintage, not 981 . I know because I was offered a slot for a Boxster BE back in 2015, as it was the only aloocation left for the 981 series (I would up with an already built CS).

POST 7Original post

The 2012 Cayman S Black Edition is theoretically the touring version of the 2012 Cayman R. Doesn't apply in 2016 my. They have the same engine (330HP) and stock exhaust. I don't the 2016 has an R equivalent. I wouldn't discount the 2016 if it has some decent options. It has pretty good power form the 2.7 liter engine with 275HP and the default options are $6K vs $11K if purchased outright.

POST 8Original post

I am leaning toward the 2012. It seems to be more what i really want as you said ,an R with some comfort options .

POST 9Original post

I could part with mine for $60K not really. The wheels are made of black powder coated golden shrew teeth and cost over $3K and will bend on a windy day, but they look good. I bent one on a Gas company road repair and they stepped up and covered the cost of replacement.

POST 10Original post

Argh argh argh on the shrew teeth! Good to know!

POST 11Original post

But they are forged and one of the lightest wheels made by Porsche

POST 13Original post

I also ran the VIN you shared in Before You Buy a Used Porsche, Run a VIN History Check at VinNumber.net .Yes it's really has 2,7l engine, looks like a base model.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
