Porsche 718

The Porsche 718  is the new sibling in the sportscar family of the company. There will be 2 models of the sports car that is the Porsche 718 Boxster which will come with a drop-top and Cayman with the hard top coupe.

There aren’t many changes according to the looks of the 718 as compared to the 981 series. The chassis and suspension setup have been upgraded for better performance and the cars.

If you go to see the performance the standard takes 4.9 seconds and the S takes 4.4 seconds to reach 100kmph. But they are limited at a stop speed of 250kmph.

The front bumper has been tweaked and the three-part air dam looks sporty with the blacked out mesh grille and the LED daytime running lamps. The headlamps get the optional quad LED and also the DRLs and blacked out mesh gives a sporty look. The LED tail lamps separate the rear bumper from the fender. Hence it gives a complete makeover at the rear.

If you enter inside you will get an integrated touch-screen display for the infotainment system. The classic three-spoke steering wheel gets paddle shifters for the automatic transmission.

The Porsche 718’s will be going head to head with the BMW Z4, the Mercedes SLC 43 AMG and the Ford Mustang.
