The 2.5-litre turbocharged horizontally
opposed engine.
The S models draw their power from
a capacit y of 2.5 litres. The result is
257 kW (350 hp) at 6,500 rpm. The
maximum torque of 420 Nm is available
across an impressively wide range from
1,900 to 4,500 rpm. This engine – like
the unit in the 911 Turbo – also comes
equipped with variable turbine geometry
(V TG). V TG provides an even more
consistent delivery of power and, in turn,
significantly greater driving pleasure.
Propulsive potential? Top speed is
285 km/h. The S models with PDK and
Launch Control complete the 0 to
100 km/ h sprint in just 4.2 seconds.
The 2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally
opposed engine.
The base models are equipped with a
2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally opposed
engine with direct fuel injection (DFI),
VarioCam Plus and integrated dry-sump
lubrication. The unit develops 220 kW
(300 hp) at 6,500 rpm. Maximum torque
is 380 Nm. Thanks to turbocharged

induction, it is available as low as 1,950 rpm
and prevails until 4,500 rpm. With
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the new
718 Boxster and 718 Cayman accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h in only 4.9 seconds,
reaching a top speed of 275 km/ h.
This qualit y is supplemented by an engine
map configured to offer the top rev limits
t ypical of a sports car. This means high
compression and a high engine speed
combined with good modulation of power
output. Every drive becomes a sporting
event – no mat ter how fast you go.
What hasn’t changed is the vehicle’s
characteristically low and central centre
of gravity – the very reason why Porsche
mid- engined models have always been

so agile. The t ypically resonant Porsche
sound is also an intrinsic feature of the
new 718 models, providing the fitting
soundtrack on the way to ever new heights
of performance.
Creating more power is still no challenge.
Not unless it ’s done the Porsche way –

by seeking to achieve a noticeable
reduction in fuel consumption at the same
time. The result is an increase of up
to 25 kW (35 hp) and 100 Nm – together
with a decrease of up to 14 % in fuel

consumption and emissions. And the fun
is only just beginning.
The newly developed four-cylinder
turbocharged engines with the customary
Porsche horizontally opposed arrangement
demonstrate responsibility not only for the
environment, but also for the adrenaline
level of the driver. Acceleration is
tremendous – even in the low rpm range.
At Le Mans 2015 we proved:
you can celebrate great victories with four cylinders and an intelligent concept.
The new engines.
