brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. This results in
better roadholding and increased comfort,
particularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agility and a further improvement
in handling.
PCCB features six-piston monobloc
aluminium fixed brake calipers on the front
axle and four-piston units at the rear –
all painted in yellow – to provide braking
forces that are considerably more powerful
and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking
distances in even the toughest road
and race conditions. Safety under
high-speed braking is also improved
thanks to its excellent fading stability.
Another advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
The pedal travel is short and the biting
point precise. The brake discs are cross-
drilled and internally vented, which helps
to provide improved wet braking and
optimum cooling.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
Proven in motorsport, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB) is
available as an option. On the new
718 models, the cross-drilled ceramic
brake discs of PCCB have a diameter of
350 mm at the front and rear – for even
more formidable braking performance.
In sport, performance counts. It applies
to the engine and it also applies to the
brakes. The new 718 models are therefore
equipped with four-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed calipers.
On the new 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman,
the brake calipers come with a black
finish – red on the S models. Brake disc
diameters are 330 mm at the front and
299 mm at the rear.
To make them tougher yet lighter and
enable a more rapid response – even
under extreme loads – the brake calipers
have an enclosed monobloc construction.
You’ve got no time to lose either.

Safety and environment
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the
718 models – are designed to operate on
fuels with an ethanol content of up to
10 %, e.g. ‘E10’. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO
2 balance because it is
derived from plants that absorb CO
2 from
the atmosphere.
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is
integral to the Porsche identit y. This

identity is expressed in the form of a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super-high-strength sheet

steels. All materials have been strategically
selected, and the paints used are
predominantly environmentally friendly
water-based paints. Each light weight

material is easily recyclable and all plastic
components are labelled to facilitate
future separation for recycling. In all, the
new 718 Boxster and the new 718 Cayman
are around 95 % recoverable.
comparison with the previous models,

fuel consumption and emissions have
been reduced by approximately 14 %. And
that’s despite a hefty increase in power.
Of course, the efficient use of fuel by means
of efficiency-enhancing technologies such
as auto start/stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, VarioCam
Plus and, in conjunction with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), coasting mode,

has also played a part. Cataly tic converters
with stereo Lambda control circuits provide
efficient emission control.
In an era of intensifying debate about
global climate change and CO
2 emissions,
every automotive manufacturer is asking
what it has to offer right now. Our answer?
Excellent performance together with
excellent efficiency.
Emission control.
The new 718 models demonstrate
that even high-performance sports cars
can achieve moderate fuel consumption
and exhaust emission values in their
respective category. This is where the
new turbocharged engines have made
a not inconsiderable contribution. By
A sporting essential:
fair play.
