“In the beginning, I looked around and could not find the car I'd been dreaming of: a small, lightweight sports car that uses energy efficiently. So I decided to build it myself.”
The dream of the sports car.
A big dream has to be fought for. And so does a bold vision. The next victory
arely will it simply fall into our laps. ften though, there are innate factors we must fight against resistance, conventions, and rigid patterns of thinking.
hatever we fight for or against, nothing is achieved without passion, grit, and determination. erry Porsche gave everything for the sports car
of his dreams. His dream came true.
Not because he hesitated, dwelled, or got lucky. It was because he went the extra mile.
This attitude is in every Porsche we’ve created since . It s there in the smallest part and in every race we’ve won. It s also found in every idea. It s because we fight. e fight for that one crucial percentage point more. or the one second that means the difference between triumph and despair. or the
r. Ing. in our company name and for the chance to stir passion for the sports car, time and time again.

A rousing statement of intent followed by action with a cylinder hori ontally opposed engine, with a consistent lightweight construction and with cornering performance never witnessed before. The pyder. A sports car that defied the motorsport standards of its time because our engineers simply cannot be content with the status quo.

The middle ground:
not necessarily a position of compromise. The principle of the mid-engine sports car.
hat is it that makes the new models so special Their performance, their handling, their design and the generous amount of space afforded by two luggage compartments. Above all a mid engine that makes all this possible in the first place.
The engine is positioned no more than inches behind the driver. ffect number
one the resounding thump on the back. ffect number two the extraordinarily dynamic cornering capabilities, thanks to the cars low and central center of gravity. The hori ontally opposed arrangement of the engines cylinders also helps to reduce oscillations, which has a positive impact on smooth running. Another plus for driving dynamics the concentrated power of the engine is transmitted directly to the rear axle.
How do we best exploit this power
By systematically reducing the weight of the vehicle. And by optimally distributing the weight left over. The compact construction of the car as a two-seater plays an important part in this respect.
And that’s without sacrifices in terms of comfort and everyday practicality.
However, as soon as the mid mounted engine starts, theres really only one thing that matters the world with its countless twists and turns. And you right in the middle of it all.

Not everything that’s light is taken lightly.
The principle of lightweight construction.
aster. urther. ore efficiently. In the creation of a sports car, every ounce makes the difference. o it s only logical that lightweight construction has a ma or role to play in the new models.
And yet, lightweight construction is not intelligent unless the right material is used in the right place. or without body rigidity, there is no agility. That s why the bodyshell of each model is made from a composite of aluminum and steel.
The sheets of steel selected by our engineers are very thin, but nevertheless extremely stiff. Aluminum is used extensively in areas such as the underbody, doors, luggage compartment lid and rear hatch.
This high degree of material efficiency has a positive effect not only on the overall weight of the car, but also on fuel economy. And that s without sacrifices as far as safety is concerned.

One legend.
Two personalities.
The 718 Boxster
Could have, should have, would have. ifes too short for what ifs. Too short for unfulfilled daydreams. The new
Boxster makes a clear statement let s go.
It interprets the legend by embracing the concept of freedom, which is characteristic of a purebred roadster plenty of twists and turns, plenty of headwind, and plenty of adrenaline.
In short, a direct and open driving experience. Ideal prerequisites, then, for the most exciting workout of all life itself.
The 718 Cayman
The new Cayman lets its actions do the talking. porty actions, of course.
As a corner devouring coupe, it follows a line of its own far removed from fashion trends and four lane highways. In the city certainly. n the race track definitely.
But always for the sport of it.
Its no wonder that the new |
Cayman |
doesn’t simply carry on from where the |
|
T Coupe left off in |
, but seeks |
instead to piece together a legend of its own. ith its own mind. ith sporty fighting spirit. And with every twist and turn.

Design
At first glance: sporty.
At second glance: blown away. Exterior design.
Precise, not fanciful. elf assured, not restrained. ow, wide and sleek. The exterior design of the new models ushers in a new era for the Boxster and
Cayman with sporty, distinctive edges and clearly defined contours.
The hori ontal geometry of the air intakes makes the front end appear even wider and lends it added bite. The fenders nmistakably Porsche. Higher than the front hood, they have been styled to give prominence to the new design of the headlights, which lay bare their inner workings and incorporate the
daytime running lights.
The side profile emphasi es the mid engine layout. The wheel arches are large, designed for wheels up to inches in si e. ne thing is clear the new 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 optimal 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.

Interior design.
Intuitive handling, performance oriented ergonomics, a clean design. The interior of each new model is also fully geared for sporty performance.
A strong emphasis on the hori ontal gives the new dashboard design of the
models a striking appearance. And that s without sacrificing the excellent ergonomics for which Porsche is renowned the ascending center console shortens the reach between the steering wheel and the gear lever selector, while the clear arrangement of function buttons saves time.
otorsport in pure form the new port steering wheel is derived from the pyder. The optional T port
steering wheel with its smaller diameter further enhances the cockpit feel.
The cluster of three round instruments, with the tachometer positioned in the center and flanked by a . inch color screen, is a characteristic feature.
The new, fundamentally revised version of Porsche Communication anagement PC system features a inch multi touch screen. ith its high quality glass surface, it is the aesthetically perfect addition to the center console.
