19-inch wheels help to ensure excellent
traction – and display new st yling for an
ultra sporty appearance. Unleashed from
the centrally positioned twin tailpipe, the
powerful sound of the boxer engine also
leaves a strong impression.
The ‘S’ makes itself felt in the interior, too.
The leather detailing featured in the base
models has been extended. In addition to
the steering wheel rim, gear lever/selector
and inlay on the door handles, leather also
lines the door armrests and the lid of the
centre console storage compartment.
The 718 Boxster S and the
718 Cayman S.
Sporty performance can be enhanced.
With plenty of training. Or with the letter
‘S’. To be more precise: with 257 kW
(350 hp), produced in the 2.5-litre
turbocharged boxer engine. This unit –
like the one in the 911 Turbo – also
comes equipped with variable turbine
geometr y (V TG).
The new power unit is matched by the
brakes: the front brake discs on the new
718 Boxster and 718 Cayman have been
upsized to 330 mm, while 299 mm
equivalents are fitted at the rear. Four-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers
in black are fit ted as standard.
Both 718 base models are equipped with
18-inch alloy wheels. The centrally
positioned tailpipe in brushed stainless
steel is an imposing statement.
The 718 Boxster and the 718 Cayman.
With the new 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman,
we are entering two pure-bred athletes
into the race: thanks to turbocharged
induction, their four-cylinder horizontally
opposed engine develops a remarkable
220 kW (300 hp) from a capacit y of just
2.0 litres. And that’s accompanied by a
considerable reduction in fuel consumption
by comparison with the previous models.
There’s more where that came from.

Power steering Plus.
The comfort- oriented Power steering Plus
is available as an option. At high speeds,
the steering is as firm as you would
expect. At low speeds, the steering ratio
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and
parking.
Electromechanical power steering.
The direct steering system of the new
718 models has a perceptibly more
immediate ratio than that of the previous
models. The results are agile turn-in and
an even sportier driving experience – with
a customarily high level of comfort.

2 Sport Chrono stopwatch
PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented by
a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM
remaining active in the background. For
a further enhancement to your driving
experience.
PASM sports suspension.
The body sits 20 mm lower. The springs
are harder and shorter, and the anti-roll
bars on the front and rear axles are
stiffer.
Dynamic transmission mounts are also
part of the Sport Chrono Package. The
electronically controlled system minimises
the perceptible oscillations and vibrations
of the entire drivetrain and combines the
benefits of a hard or soft transmission
mounting arrangement to offer a sport y
yet comfortable cornering experience. In
short, it enhances both driving stability
and driving comfort.
the engine and transmission for the
fastest possible unleashing of power. In
other words, maximum responsiveness –
for a period of approximately 20 seconds.
A timer graphic in the instrument cluster
tells you how long is left.
Another component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch on the dashboard.
PCM is upgraded to include a performance
display, enabling you to view, store and
evaluate laps or other driving times.
The second function is the motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy. In this mode,
PDK is geared up for extremely short shift
times and optimum shift points for the
maximum acceleration available. This
combination of uncompromising and
involving performance is ideal for the
racetrack.
The third function – SPORT Response – is
an absolute first in the new 718 Boxster
and the 718 Cayman. Pressing the button

Safety and environment1 LED taillight with four-spot brake light
2 LED main headlight with four-spot daytime running light
One special feature of PDLS Plus is
the dynamic main beam function.
A camera detects the lights of vehicles
ahead as well as those of oncoming
traffic. Based on the data from the
camera, the dynamic main beam

function then adapts the headlight range
accordingly. This continuous, seamless
control means that you are able to see
the course of the road, pedestrians and
potential hazards earlier without hindering
other road users.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
Superior safety meets sporty design in
the form of optional LED main headlights
including PDLS Plus. In addition to being
efficient and long-lasting, LED technology
also creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.
Optimum visibility is assured by integrated
four-spot daytime running lights, the
headlight cleaning system and dynamic
range control.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS),
which includes expressive four-spot
daytime running lights, headlight cleaning
system and dynamic range control, is
available as an option. The dynamic

cornering light function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
so as to light up more of the road at tight
bends and turns. Put simply, the road
ahead is illuminated the moment you start
t o c o r n e r.
Rain. Fog. Darkness. Nothing that would
faze a genuine athlete. That’s why all
718 models are equipped with Bi-Xenon
headlights with integrated LED daytime
running lights.
At the rear, the three-dimensional design
of the taillights incorporating four-spot
brake lights leaves a lasting impression.
For powerful illumination, all functions are
implemented by LED technology.
