Sports Car Confiscated For NOT Having Valid Road Tax And Insurance
SPECIAL JPJ OPERATIONS ON LUXURY VEHICLES
This week in IPOH on the 16th of October 2025, the Road Transport Department Enforcement Unit has apprehended and confiscated a Porsche 718 Cayman S sports car (once voted Sports Car Of The Year) in their Special Operation of Luxury Vehicle ‘Ops Luxury’.
The investigation found that there was one offence detected. Expired Motor Vehicle License (without insurance).
The driver of the vehicle in question admitted to committing offence and enforcement members issued one (1) P22 fine against the owner and one (1) P22 penalty against the driver.
The offender was also issued one (1) Sita Notice under Section 64(1) and the vehicle was later confiscated and taken to the Perak JPJ Depoh Sita for further action.
By the way, if you do not know much about the Porsche Cayman, here below is some information on the Cayman.
This breathtaking mid-engined sports coupe is designed to do the impossible. It marries an ultra-efficiency with unbridled power. Its 4-cylinder 2.5-litre boxer engine is a technical marvel that puts out 350 horses while returning 7.3L/100km.
What’s more, it only produces 167g of CO2 per kilometre. Even without a hybrid system, it’s still both eco-friendly, and capable of a 0-100km/h speed of 4.2 seconds (with the Sports Chrono package).
To achieve these two opposing extremes, Porsche’s engineers used a very special type of turbocharger. Most manufacturers have to choose between a smaller turbo that restricts high end power or a large turbo that delivers power a little too late. Some manufacturers get around this problem by using both.
Both Porsche’s solution is a lot more elegant. They’ve engineered a turbo with a variable geometry turbine. Meaning airflow is optimised for whatever speed the engine is turning at. That means you get peak torque from as low as 1900 rpm and all the way to 4500 rpm. This power gets sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed PDK. With the weight of the low-slung boxer engine in the middle of the car, the balance is perfect. When compared to the previous model, the steering is not only more direct, but the steering wheel itself is derived from the 918 Spyder. It’s no wonder the 718 Cayman S is regarded as one of the best handling cars ever made.
