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.
Engines and specifications. Selected key features of the standard specifications:
the 718 models.

Design
The side profile emphasises the mid-
engine layout. The wheel arches are large,
designed for wheels up to 20 inches in
size. One thing is clear: the new 718 models
were not intended for the shelter of the
garage, but for the pleasure of driving.
That’s precisely why the contouring on the
doors purposefully directs headwind into
the large air intakes on either side of the
car. This provides the optimum supply of
air to the new turbocharged engines, a
basis for their powerful forward thrust.
Another sporty detail: new exterior
mirrors with v-shaped mirror base.
Precise, not fanciful. Self-assured, not
restrained. Low, wide and sleek. The
exterior design of the new 718 models
ushers in a new era for the Boxster and
Cayman with sporty, distinctive edges and
clearly defined formal contours.
The horizontal geometry of the air intakes
makes the front end appear even wider –
and lends it added bite. The wings?
Unmistakably Porsche. Higher than the
front lid, they have been styled to give
prominence to the new design of the
headlight units, which lay bare their inner
workings and incorporate the LED
daytime running lights.
At first glance: sporty.
At second glance: blown away.
Exterior design.

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.

Safety and environment1 LED taillight with four-spot brake 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
t o c o r n e r.
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.
Sport doesn’t stop with the clock.
