| Bright new edition brings extroverted character to the mid-engine 718 model line |
Porsche today announced two new variants within the mid-engine 718 model lineup: the new Porsche 718 Boxster Style Edition and 718 Cayman Style Edition. These new models will be initially offered in Europe in early 2023 with global availability to follow.
Underlining Porsche’s commitment to ever more creative and
vibrant bespoke finishes, the new models are characterized by special colors
and matching contrasting elements.
With the Style Edition, Porsche adds model variants for
those who seek to stand out. This is particularly evident with the new color
Ruby Star Neo, which is a modern interpretation of the Ruby Star color used on
the 964 Carrera RS.
Exclusive details, enhanced standard equipment
Regardless of the exterior color, the new Style Edition variants
are immediately recognizable. They are fitted as standard equipment with
20-inch 718 Spyder wheels in high-gloss black that carry colored Porsche
crests.
Furthermore, the Style Edition stands out thanks to Sport
Tailpipes in Black and PORSCHE script on the rear in high-gloss silver. The 718
Boxster Style Edition also features “Boxster” model designations embossed into
the convertible top above the side windows.
The 718 Boxster and Cayman models are already well equipped
with standard features including Bi-Xenon Headlights including Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS) with integrated 4-point LED daytime running lights, Sport
Exhaust, ParkAssist front and rear incl. Rear-view camera, Apple® CarPlay,
cruise control, automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors with
Integrated Rain Sensor, heated front seats and two-zone automatic climate
control.
The new Style Edition models also gain a heated,
leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, floor mats with contrasting
stitching in Chalk, a black leather interior with contrasting stitching in
Chalk, headrests embossed with the Porsche crest and illuminated stainless
steel door sill guards as standard equipment.
Two optional 718 Style Edition contrast packages are also
available to customers: one in black, and one in white. Both include decorative
stripes on the hood and “PORSCHE” logos on the side, while the wheels and rear
model designation are painted in black or high-gloss white.
Six-speed manual as standard
Both Style Edition models are based on the 718 Boxster and
718 Cayman with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine
developing 300 hp. The four-cylinder engine generates 280 lb.-ft. of torque and
propels the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. When equipped with the
optional seven-speed PDK and Sport Chrono Package, this time drops to 4.5
seconds. Independent of transmission choice, the top track speed of the 718
Style Edition models is 170 mph.
U.S. market availability and pricing
Detailed information on U.S. pricing and dealer arrival
timing will be shared in 2023 closer to market availability and start of
