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

Drive
718 Boxster S and 718 Cayman S: 257 kW (350 hp) at 6,500 rpm, 420 Nm bet ween 1,900 and 4,500 rpm
718 Boxster and 718 Cayman: 220 kW (300 hp) at 6,500 rpm, 380 Nm bet ween 1,950 and 4,500 rpm
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.

1 Turbocharger
2 Variable turbine geometry (VTG) of the S models
for throt tle – barely 30 cm behind your
back. And that ’s despite a considerable
reduction in fuel consumption and emission
values. After all, what is performance
without intelligence?
Variable turbine geometry (VTG).
The new 718 Boxster S and 718 Cayman S
come equipped with variable turbine
geometry (V TG). Adjustable guide vanes on
the turbine act to combine the benefits of
a small and a large exhaust turbocharger.
Derived from the proven 911 Turbo and
adapted specifically for the 718 S models,
this technology helps to deliver excellent
responsiveness at low engine speeds and
to provide a high maximum power output.
Turbocharger.
The displacement of the new 718 Boxster
and Cayman models has been considerably
reduced with the aim of lowering fuel
consumption. Nevertheless, the power
output of the new engines has been
significantly increased. This has been
possible thanks to the turbochargers

developed for the 718 models completely
from scratch. The respective turbocharger
is particularly compact and has been
optimally adapted to the displacement

and power output of the engine.
The result could not deliver a clearer
message. The extraordinarily wide torque
plateau makes itself felt with each demand

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.
