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.

Design
And yet it’s anything but conformist. The
taillights are slimline, their inner workings
fashioned three-dimensionally. Four LED
brake spot lights are incorporated into
each of the horizontal rear light units.
Between the two taillights, an accent trim
makes the rear end look even wider.
The wing above extends automatically
at a speed of 120 km/ h, reducing lift
to provide even bet ter roadholding
performance.When closed, the fabric hood of the
718 Boxster completes the sleek
silhouet te t ypical of a sports car. At

the push of a but ton, it opens and closes
fully automatically in 9 seconds – even
on the move, up to a speed of 50 km/h.
The rear of the new 718 models is
an expression of superlative sport y
performance – and of the superlative
performance of our designers. It is

more cleanly defined, more pared back.
How do you recognise a genuine athlete?
By the amount of time spent admiring from the rear.

Drive
At low and medium vehicle speeds,
PTV significantly increases agility and
steering precision. At high speeds and
under acceleration out of corners, the
mechanically controlled rear differential
lock also acts to provide greater driving
stability and traction.
For the driver, this means strong
resistance to destabilising side forces,
outstanding traction and great agility at
every speed – with precise turn-in and
well-balanced load transfer characteristics.
What else? Tremendous fun in the corners.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
PT V is an optional system for enhancing
driving dynamics and stability. Operating
in conjunction with a mechanical rear
differential lock, it works by varying the
amount of torque transmitted to the rear
wheels.
When the car is driven assertively into a
corner, moderate brake pressure is applied
to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, a
greater amount of drive force is distributed
to the outside rear wheel, inducing an
additional rotational pulse (yaw movement)
around the vehicle’s vertical axis. This
results in a direct and sport y steering action
from the turn-in point.

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

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.

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

Rain. Fog. Darkness. Nothing that would

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

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.
Option: ParkAssist upgrade to include
monitoring of the front end with four
additional sensors. The audible alert is
supplemented by a visual warning in the
central display screen, which shows a

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
system does not actively intervene to

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
