The Porsche Design Edition 1 is a Cayman S model designed by Porsche Design, commemorating the 35th anniversary of Porsche Design.
The all black car has a black leather interior on the seats, dashboard, and door trim, as well as black Alcantara steering wheel, gear lever, handbrake grip, and headliner.
The DE1 also is fitted standard with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), 19-inch 911 (997) Turbo wheels with 235/35 ZR 19 front and 265/35 ZR 19 rear tyres, Porsche Design script on the instrument dials, stainless steel entry plate engraved with "Porsche Design Edition 1", all-red rear taillights, custom vinyl exterior black-on-black graphics, and a numbered plaque on the glovebox cover.
As with all PASM-equipped cars, the body is lowered by 10 mm (0.4 in).
Standard equipment includes a briefcase containing the Flat Six Chronograph, a pocket knife, a pair of sunglasses, a pen, and a key ring – all in black, even the knife blade.
A total of 777 vehicles were produced as 2008 models.
It went on sale on November 2007 in Germany, followed by the U.S. in January 2008
Porsche also announced the production of a limited edition Cayman S Sport, which was available in October 2008 as a 2009 model.
This version of the Cayman S includes PSE (Porsche Sports Exhaust), PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), and Sport Chrono.
The power is raised from 217 kW (291 hp) at 6,250 rpm to 223 kW (299 hp) at 6250 rpm.

The Cayman S Sport comes in Bright Orange and Signal Green (from the 911 GT3 RS), as well as Carrera White, Speed Yellow, Guards Red, Black, and Arctic Silver [special order at an extra cost].
The Cayman S Sport also features short shifter, sports seats, deviated color seatbelts, "Cayman S" striping on the door sides, black Porsche Design 19-inch wheels, various gloss black interior trims, gloss black side mirrors, stainless steel door sills with "Cayman S Sport" script, 5 mm wheel spacers, and Alcantara steering wheel and shift knob from the 997 911 GT3 RS.
The instrumentation does not include a hood.
The body is lowered by 1 cm due to its PASM feature.
A total of 700 were made, with only 100 coming to the US.

The Cayman R was introduced in 2011, and is based on the 2009 Cayman S. It features the Porsche OEM aerokit that was first introduced in 2007 as a factory option, 19 inch lightweight wheels shared with the Boxster Spyder, lighter aluminium doors from 997 911 GT3, lighter fiberglass bucket seats with carbon fibre backing from the 997 911 GT2, and with the removal of the radio, storage compartments, air-conditioning, and door handles, the Cayman R weighs in at 54.8 kg (121 lb) less than a Cayman S. The Cayman R also received various cosmetic changes similar to ones seen on the earlier Cayman S Sport, such as decals on the doors, instrument cover delete, gloss black painted mirrors, black model designation emblem on the trunk, as well as black painted wheels.

With the new passive sports suspensions, the Cayman R was 10 mm (0.4 in) lower than a Cayman S equipped with PASM, or 20 mm (0.8 in) lower than one equipped with standard passive suspension.
The powertrain was a 3,436 cc (3.4 L; 209.7 cu in) direct injection flat-six engine that was rated at 243 kW (326 hp) at 7,400 rpm and 370 N⋅m (273 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.
The standard Cayman R can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 5 seconds, and with the optional 7-speed PDK dual clutch transmission and the Sport Chrono package, it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds.
The Cayman R with the manual transmission can reach a top speed of 282 km/h (175 mph) and 280 km/h (174 mph) with the PDK.
The Cayman R made its debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show on 17 November 2010.

Based on the Cayman R, Porsche also produced the Porsche Cayman S Black Edition with sales starting in July, 2011.
The Black Edition is the rarest limited edition Cayman with only 500 built.
