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.

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.

Comfort
Example loading configuration with luggage items from
Porsche Driver’s Selection
under the armrest – when combined with
the optional Connect or Connect Plus
module and the included reception-
optimising smartphone storage tray –
becomes the ideal interface between
your smartphone and your 718 model.
Further convenience is provided, for
example, in the form of t wo compartments
in the doors, clothes hooks on the seat
backrests and two practical cupholders
above the glove compartment.
space for 130 litres – hood up or hood
down. The new 718 Cayman boasts a

rear luggage compartment capacity of
275 litres. Thanks to the shelf above the
engine cover, there is even enough room
to accommodate the longer items of your
belongings.
In the interior, too, clever storage solutions
offer plenty of space. The compartment
A lot can be expected of a genuine

sports car. The mid- engine concept of
the 718 models impresses not only by
delivering superbly agile driving dynamics,
but also by affording two luggage
compartments.
On both models, the front luggage
compartment holds 150 litres. At the
rear of the new 718 Boxster, there is

Summary
We’ll let the 718 legend be just that for
now. And we’ll turn our attention instead
to what awaits us in the great outdoors.
To all the cities of this world, and to all
the world beyond those cities. To the
more than 35 million kilometres of road,
with their countless twists and turns. And
to being right in the centre of it all. In a
mid-engined sports car that conveys with
every fibre exactly what it is: insatiable.
The legend lives on. In the new
718 Boxster and 718 Cayman.
For the sport of it.
Life is now open 24 hours.
Sum mar y.
