It would cost over £55000 to spec the normal Cayman S to the LTD edition.

Makes the Porsche Design Edition 1 a very good buy indeed at £49890.

Only 777 made of which 100 are right hookers.

I reckon you would be able to run one of these for 12 months and get your money back.

What are anyone else's thoughts?

No, you will not get your money back. Expect depreciation to be in line with normal (well specc'd) models.

Nice car, but buy it because you want it!

laugh You've evidently never tried to sell a Cayman back to an OPC. Be prepared for a very large shock if you do.

Ever heard of pre facelift run our models ?

I think Porsche got hold of the Rover Cars special edition plan !

Is it correct that 2008 facelift models should have direct injection and twin clutch DSG option ?

Direct injection gives 10% more economy and 10% more power ? !!

Facelift could cost you 5k extra depn. So 12 months would be 35-37k px with no facelift and 30-32k if there is a facelift. OPC's want 6-8k, sometimes more in a car.

I am the voice of bitter experience. All the low depn stats that you see are based on trade value v base price without extra's.

Also things are a bit in the toilet with confidence in the economy so a slow down will make it worse. I am braced for 8-9k depn per year on my new S.

Well you'll get some of your money back. No way you'll break even. Be very hard to sell too at a premium above a normal S.

An example known to me....well spec'd 987CS (list @ £52k), 12months/12k later best dealer bid is £36k.

Best way to make a small fortune. Out of a big one.

Been looking at the Porsche website and can't find much about the actual spec of this thing, just a load of marketing bullcrap aimed at airheads. I've managed to work out that it doesn't go any faster, weigh any less or stop any better. But it has got some matt black stripes and an alcantara covered gear lever party
