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.

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
remaining active in the background. For
a further enhancement to your driving
experience.
PASM sports suspension.
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
an absolute first in the new 718 Boxster
and the 718 Cayman. Pressing the button

selected decorative stitching in a
contrasting colour, adds another sporty
detail.

New Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with 7-inch multi-
touchscreen and optional navigation
module enhances form and function with
a further component: near-boundless
possibilities. The optional
Connect or
Connect Plus module is the driver’s
gateway to the digital world.
The instrument cluster with 4.6-inch
colour screen provides you with a
continuous stream of data from the
on-board computer. It also displays the
map of the optional navigation system,
The new sports steering wheel with its
puristic design, the ascending centre
console, three round instruments with the
rev counter positioned in the centre:
everything in the interior is intended to
put the driver first. All buttons and
functions are intuitive to operate, all
information is always ready to hand.
It’s an ergonomics concept that not only
saves time, but looks good, too. At
Porsche, function and design are
inextricably linked.
Since 1953, one thing hasn’t changed:

the driver still calls the shots.

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.
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
graphical representation of the vehicle

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
Adaptive cruise control including
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
Team play.
Even without a passenger.

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.

apps of your iPhone
® via PCM even when
you’re on the move. Using Siri
®, the

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 is a feature included
with the Connect module. Using the
associated app, you can control certain
functions of your Porsche remotely via
