The 718 models were made for the sport of it. They are mid-engined roadsters that unite the sporting spirit of the legendary Porsche 718 with the sports car of tomorrow – and transfer it to the roads of today’s world. With one goal: to take the everyday out of every day.

 

 

Exterior Front

The horizontal geometry of the air intakes makes the front end appear even wider – lending it added bite. On the 718 GTS 4.0 models, this impression is further enhanced by the larger air intakes, black external airblades and front spoiler in black. The wings? Unmistakably Porsche. Higher than the bonnet, they have been styled to give prominence to the design of the headlights, with impressive inner workings and integrated LED daytime running lights. The 718 GTS 4.0 models have tinted front lights.

 

 

Side air intakes

The side profile emphasises the mid-engined layout. The wheel arches are large – for wheels up to 20 inches. In the 718 T models these are in Titanium Grey (high-gloss); in the 718 GTS 4.0 models in satin black. One thing is clear: the 718 models weren't built for the garage. They were built for unrestrained driving pleasure. So, naturally the lines on the doors direct the air stream to the large side air intakes. To optimally supply the engines with air and produce powerful thrust.

 

 

Exterior Rear

The rear of the 718 models is an expression of maximum sporting performance – and also the top performance of our designers. It is clear, reduced, and anything but conformist. The taillights are flat and also tinted in the 718 GTS 4.0 models. Their interior is of a three-dimensional design. Four LED brake spot lights surround the horizontal taillights. An accent trim between the two taillights makes the rear end look wide.

The wing above automatically extends from speeds of 125km/h, and reduces lift for better roadholding. Strong finish: the tailpipe, centrally positioned in the rear apron, with twin tailpipe in the 718 T and 718 S models. In the 718 GTS 4.0 models, the tailpipes are separated in the rear apron unique to the GTS 4.0.

 

 

Performance

What is it that makes the 718 models so special? Their performance, their handling, their design, their generous amount of space with two luggage compartments. But most of all: a mid-engined layout that makes all this possible in the first place.

 

 

Comfort

Adaptive dampers for greater comfort on everyday drives. Plus a variety of storage solutions, ample legroom and two luggage compartments for plentiful storage space.

Since 1953, one thing hasn’t changed: the driver still calls the shots.

 

 

Sports steering wheel

The Sports steering wheel with three-spoke design is lightweight and functional. The small centre pad and the decorative ring encircling the Porsche Crest – both derived from the steering wheel of the 918 Spyder – reinforce its sporty character. In conjunction with PDK, the Sports steering wheel features two alloyed gearshift paddles offering particularly short shift throws.

 

 

GT Sports steering wheel

The optional GT sports steering wheel has a smaller diameter. The spokes are finished in black, the silver-coloured inlays are screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived look? Definitely. Above all, though, to emulate a motorsport driving feel. Included as standard in the 718 T and 718 GTS 4.0 models. In the 718 GTS 4.0 models it is finished with the proven motorsport material Race-Tex. 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.

 

 

718 Style Edition

The 718 Boxster Style Edition and the 718 Cayman Style Edition bring colour to city life, with high-contrast design highlights for the exterior and interior. This is where creativity meets sportiness – your 718 Style Edition transforms the street into your very own playground.

An exceptional athlete’s secret for success is creativity. They train differently, don't follow the norm and shape a new style. Anyone who drives a 718 Style Edition model makes it clear they share this mindset. It is this creativity that has resulted in an extraordinary design statement that transforms every street into an exciting work of art.
Contrasting colour combinations for the exterior and interior provide inspiration. Combine this with the unique agility and comfortable everyday usability of the 718 mid-engine sports car. Give your imagination plenty of room for personal design. Be a street artist.

 

 

Traditional colour range

The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman have long been mid-engine icons and as such, they enjoy a status similar to the Porsche colour palette, which has always been distinctive. Perhaps one of the most expressive colours, Ruby Star, originally known as Rubystone Red, which caused a stir in the 90’s on the 911 Carrera RS 3.6 (964), inspired us to come up with the new optional Ruby Star Neo exterior colour.

The exterior colour forms an extraordinary duo together with the White contrast package. A strong colour tone meets White details: the "PORSCHE" decorative side logo, the sporty decorative strips on the bonnet and the model logo on the rear. The 20-inch 718 Spyder wheels, painted in White (high-gloss), set the right tone for hitting the road.

 

 

Contrasting styles

The Black contrast package also offers a clear, sporty style when used, for example, in conjunction with the Arctic Grey exterior colour.

 

Style-defining

The 718 Boxster Style Edition's all-electric fabric hood carries the embossed "Boxster" signature, visible both when open and closed. The soft top can be opened and closed in just 12 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h – and is available in either Black or Red.

 

Interior Design

The extended standard equipment of the 718 Style Edition also applies to the stylish interior. The contrasting seams in Crayon set subtle accents in tandem with the Black leather package, which upgrades the interior with additional leather on the dashboard, door handles and seats.
Additional interior upgrades include the illuminated stainless steel door sill guards, the floor mats with contrasting stitching in Crayon and the embossed Porsche crest on the headrests. Further leather packages in Black, Black-Burgundy and Black-Crayon are available on request.

 

 

Leather Accents

Could it be something more? With the Black leather upholstery specific to the Style Edition, the Crayon contrasting stitching emphasises the extended leather features on the upper part of the dashboard and on the door panels, combined with eye-catching Silver-coloured trim on the dashboard and doors. Alternative leather features in Black, Black-Burgundy and Black-Crayon are available on request.

 

Mid-engine concept

Driving pleasure and everyday usability have always formed a close symbiosis at Porsche. Thanks to the mid-engine concept including a 2.0-litre turbo boxer engine with 220 kW (300 PS), the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman impress with their low centre of gravity, delivering particularly agile cornering behaviour.

In addition, there is enough space for two luggage compartments. And therefore a lot of creativity.

 

Comfort

At Porsche, comfort and dynamics are not mutually exclusive. The 718 Style Edition models increase the driving joy of every journey, thanks to a multifunction steering wheel that is heated, controls seat heating, and has two-zone automatic air-conditioning. The ParkAssist at the front and rear, including a reversing camera, also makes those everyday parking manoeuvres easier.
