During development, before it was given its name, the Cayman was referred to by Porsche as the C7S. Here's a link to an "Autocar" article from back then. Apart from the C7S references, it's interesting to compare pre-production rumor with current reality.

I read in an issue of Excellence or Pano that both 987-120 and C7S (Base Cayman will be C7) were used.
I forgot what issue though but it had to have been in the last 6 months. sorry.

When my Girlfriend picked up her Cayman S, I noticed that there was a sticker somewhere on one of the pamphlets that had '987' on it. When I asked the dealer if the internal model designation for the Cayman was 987, he said yes. He could be wrong of course, just reporting what I know.

However, the numerical internal designation is correct when the cars are referred to as a 993, 996, 955, etc.
They are used in the enthusiast community to differentiate models (usually in the same line...ie, 964,993,996). FYI....A Cayenne is a 955 and the Cayman is referred to interally as reported (C7S and 987-120).
