Sports car fascination
Stress-relief: daily.
Adaptive dampers for greater comfort on
everyday drives. Plus a variet y of storage
solutions, ample legroom and two luggage
compartments for plentiful stowage.
Safety: reinforced.
With Lane Change Assist and a further
reinforced brake system – greater driving
pleasure and greater safety.
Sound: typically Porsche.
New engines – still delivering the
characteristically powerful acoustics of a
Porsche horizontally opposed unit, sounding
even more urgent with the new sports
exhaust system.
Driving dynamics: tremendous.
Sporty chassis setup and direct steering for
excellent cornering performance. New PASM
sports suspension with ride height lowered
by 20 mm.
Sport: forever ready.
Multifunctional GT sports steering wheel
with mode switch and SPORT Response
button.
Design: sharpened.
Sharp, snappy, clean – inside and out. The
design is striking, while the rear end with
accent trim looks even wider. The cockpit is
newly styled, the specification exquisite.
The colour and material ranges have been
extended.
Power and efficiency: increased.
New turbocharged horizontally opposed
engines for increased power, considerably
more torque, high rpm limit and lower
consumption. Variable turbine geometry
(VTG) in the S models.
Lighting concept: visionary.
The LED day time running lights have been
integrated into the Bi-Xenon main headlights
– the taillights with four-spot brake lights
have been redesigned. New: optional LED
main headlights with four-spot daytime
running lights.
Connectivity: web-connected.
Innovative infotainment centre with
wireless Internet access, online navigation,
Apple
® CarPlay and Porsche Connect apps.
The highlights of the new 718 models.

Chassis
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
The new 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman
models are equipped with enhanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM) – an
automatic control system for maintaining
stability at the limits of dynamic driving
performance.
PSM improves traction under acceleration
on inconsistent road surfaces. The result
is a high level of driving stabilit y and
safety – and extraordinary agility at the
same time.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
Optional PASM, the electronic damping
control system, continuously adjusts the
damping force on each wheel, based on
current road conditions and driving style.
In addition, the body sits 10 mm lower.
PASM has t wo modes, which can be
selected using a separate button on the
centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend
of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport ’
where the setup is much firmer.
The results are tangible: increased driving
stability, improved comfort and enhanced
performance.
Anyone can follow the straight and narrow.
Only the corner is the true test of mettle.
Only in the corner does a sports car really
become a sports car. So it’s all the more
important to have a chassis that can
master any sporting challenge. And be a
match for the high power output of the
engine.
The axle components are for the most
part made of aluminium, which keeps the
vehicle weight and unsprung masses low.
The wide track, long wheelbase and
specific chassis construction help to
deliver particularly precise and agile
handling.
Expansive plains. Endlessly long, straight highways.
Best to steer clear.

the steering wheel, you can choose any
of four set tings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Individual. Now you can adapt
the vehicle even more to the way you
want to drive.
In conjunction with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has three additional functions.
The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be
used to achieve the best possible standing
start – a racing start.
Sport Chrono Package.
Adrenaline at the push of a button, goose
bumps included: the functions of the
optional Sport Chrono Package enable an
even sportier tuning of the vehicle – and
launch you to unprecedented sporty
heights.
What’s new is the mode switch on
the steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder to make you feel closer to

the racetrack. Without your hand leaving
SPORT button.
The SPORT button enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is
on either comfort or sporty performance.
At the push of a button, the engine
dynamics become even more direct. In
addition, the optional sports exhaust
system is activated automatically.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner.
Yet another tenth of a second
teased out of life.
High-performance systems.

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
in the centre of the mode switch primes
