Description

This is far from your standard Porsche Cayman. The Rolex Daytona 24 Hours has been among the few pinnacles of motorsport racing events since 1962. Drivers such as Dan Gurney, Mark Donohue, Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg, and Ken Miles have been among this legendary race's long list of competitors. For over 60 years, the 24 Hours of Daytona has been among the “Big Three” in endurance racing alongside the 24 Hours du Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. In 2013, the GX class was introduced due to the merger of the American Le Mans Series and the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series. The GX class was deemed close enough in performance to the GT Daytona class but was focused on sustainability in racing.

This 2009 Porsche Cayman GX.R was built by Bullet Racing specifically for the GX Class. Fitted with a built 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine, Bullet Racing aimed to take the GX class by storm. Bullet Racing used many 997 GT3R chassis components and an engine from the Cayman’s big brother, the 911. The #22 Bullet Racing Cayman finished 2nd in the GX class, piloted by Darryl O’Young, James Clay, Dan Rogers, Seth Thomas, and Karl Thomson. The car has been driven at one track day for photography but is otherwise in as-raced condition from the 24 Hours race.

The sale includes the 2nd place trophy, vehicle history, and other media from the race.
