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 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.
Sport doesn’t stop with the clock.

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.

switch (Sport Chrono Package)
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle, or
your hand nears the Porsche Crest on the
front luggage compartment lid or the logos
on the rear, the system automatically
checks the encrypted access code on the
key. Once the key is validated, the door or
the luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.
Climate control.
An optional alternative to the air
conditioning
system, two-zone automatic
climate control has separate temperature
controls for the driver and front passenger
and offers a choice of three climate
setting profiles.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in various
parts of the interior.
GT sports steering wheel.
The new, optional GT sports steering
wheel has a smaller diameter. The spokes
are finished in black, while the spoke
trims are in Galvano Silver and are screw-
fastened. For a motorsport-derived look?
Definitely. Above all, though, to emulate a
motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are
optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
4.6-inch colour display and therefore the
on-board computer as well as many audio,
telephone and navigation functions.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel with three-
spoke design is lightweight and functional.
The small centre pad and the chrome ring
encircling the Porsche Crest – both
derived from the steering wheel of the
918 Spyder – reinforce its sport y
character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles offering particularly
short shift throws.

1 Smartphone storage tray in the centre console
2 PCM with online navigation in conjunction with
Connect Plus
Online navigation.
A particular highlight of the Connect Plus
module is the real-time traffic information
feature. Depending on volume of traffic,
the roads are coloured green, yellow,
orange or red. Now you can find out even
before you set off which routes are best
avoided if you wish to arrive at your
destination sooner. Throughout the
journey, the optimum route is dynamically
recalculated based on regular updating of
traffic data.
The online navigation package also
includes the
GOOGLE® Street View and
GOOGLE
® Earth services. Their 360°
views and satellite imagery help you
to identify your surroundings at your
destination and along the way.
Apple® CarPlay.
With Apple® CarPlay – included in the
Connect module – you can access the
apps of your iPhone
® via PCM even when
you’re on the move. Using Siri
®, the
Apple
® voice control system, you can
therefore compose text messages, have
incoming SMS read out and send your
replies – or you can listen to music and
podcasts, all the while keeping your full
concentration on the road.

Connect Plus module.
In addition to all the functions of the
Connect module, the optional Connect
Plus module comes with a telephone
module, wireless Internet access and
online navigation.
Carfinder displays, for example, the
shortest route from your current position
to your car’s parked location. Thanks to
Remote Vehicle Status, you always have
fingertip access to important information
about your car, such as odometer
reading, fuel level or remaining range.
Particularly practical: using Porsche Car
Connect, you can make a breakdown call
at any time from any location.
Another feature is the Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System (PV TS), enabling remote
location of a stolen vehicle.
Connect module.
The optional Connect module makes the
optimum connection between your
smartphone and your Porsche. The centre
console contains a special smartphone
storage tray, which forwards the signal of
your mobile phone to the external aerial
of the car, sparing the mobile phone
bat tery and providing optimum reception.
At the same time, you can connect your
smartphone by USB cable for recharging
or to play its audio content.
Porsche Car Connect.
Porsche Car Connect is a feature included
with the Connect module. Using the
associated app, you can control certain
functions of your Porsche remotely via
your smartphone or Apple Watch
