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

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

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
Roll-over protection.
In the open-top 718 Boxster models, dual
roll-over protection creates survival space
in the event of a roll-over or side impact.
The front roll- over protection element is
made from super-high-strength steel. The
rear roll-over bars located behind the seats
are made from an aluminium and steel
composite. These come fully trimmed and
provide a high degree of safet y.
Airbags and Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The new 718 models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending on
the severity and type of accident.
All 718 models are also equipped with
the Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP). It comprises side impact
protection elements in the doors and t wo
airbags on each side. An integral thorax
airbag is located in each seat side bolster,
while the door panels each contain an
upwards-inflating head airbag.

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

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.

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.

ParkAssist and reversing camera.
Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, optional ParkAssist audibly
alerts the driver to the presence of
obstacles detected behind the vehicle. An
intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidity as the obstacle is approached.

braking by the driver is boosted to achieve
the maximum braking force that the system
is able to provide.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor the
areas to the rear of the vehicle and the
blind spots on either side. Above a speed
of 15 km/h, the system issues a visual
warning signal in the door mirror panel
whenever a vehicle rapidly approaches
your vehicle from behind or enters one of
your blind spots. In this way, Lane Change
Assist improves comfort and safet y,
particularly on motorways. However, the

Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), this
enhanced version of cruise control actively
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line
with the speed of the vehicle in front. A
radar sensor scans the road ahead up to
a distance of 200 m. In addition, coasting
is now possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle
in front too quickly, the system issues
an audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by a
brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation of
