Good drivers love freedom. Our engineers are only too happy to take this sentence literally. The 4.0-liter six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a powerful 394 hp opens up the whole world to you.
The Boxster 25 Years anniversary model features 20-inch two-tone wheels, painted in Neodyme and Silver. Both the color palette and the wheel design take their inspiration from the Boxster concept study.
The 7-speed PDK with manual and automatic mode is available as an option. For extremely fast gear changes without interrupting the flow of power. And all with even better acceleration performance. In manual mode, the shift direction simulates that of race cars – to the rear to shift up, forwards to shift down. For a race track driving experience wherever you are.
The optional PASM is an electronic damping control system. The system continuously adjust the damping force on each wheel, based on driving style and current road conditions. The body is also lowered by 10 mm (0.39 in). PASM has two modes, which can be selected using a button on the center console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport’, where the setup is much firmer. The results are tangible: increased driving stability, improved comfort and enhanced performance.
True beauty knows no age. The Boxster 25 Years is arguably one of the best examples of this. Confident in style, it combines its unmistakable lines and design language with references to the very first concept study in 1993. This makes it our homage to the concept of the Boxster – to driving pleasure and feeling forever young.
The raised fenders typical of Porsche perfectly showcase the expressive design of the LED Headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
The inspiration for the contrasting color Neodyme originates from the initial concept study and emphasizes the already powerful design of the large front and side air intakes.
The all-electric fabric roof of the Boxster 25 Years carries the embossed signature ‘Boxster 25’, visible both when open and closed. It is optionally available in red or black. A small and yet visually very distinctive detail: the windshield frame in black.
It includes a very special detail: a discreet plaque above the glove compartment and your individual limited edition number of the 1,250 Boxster 25 Years models built.
The door-sill guards – also with two-tone ‘Boxster 25’ logo – bring that roadster feeling to life, even before you’ve sat down.
Probably the most classic of all Porsche Roadster color palettes: the combination of the red interior with silver exterior paintwork. The leather interior in Bordeaux Red is rounded off with trim on the dashboard and the center console in Brushed Aluminum. A leather interior in black is optionally available.
A strong emphasis on the horizontal gives the dashboard design of the 718 models a striking appearance. Without sacrificing the excellent ergonomics for which Porsche is renowned: the ascending center console shortens the reach between the steering wheel and gear lever/selector, while the clear arrangement of function buttons saves time.
The integrated Sport Chrono Package enables an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission. And launches you to unprecedented sporty heights. In addition to the stopwatch and four selectable driving modes on the GT Sport Steering Wheel, it includes dynamic transmission mounts. These combine the advantages of a hard and soft transmission mounting arrangement and thus increase both driving stability and driving comfort.
With Porsche Connect you use numerous apps on your iPhone via PCM. With the connection via Apple CarPlay®, apps such as phone, music or news, can be operated easily and safely while on the move.
Optional for the 718 and 718 S models, standard for the 718 T and 718 GTS 4.0 models: Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). This system enhances vehicle dynamics and stability by applying variable torque distribution to the rear wheels, in conjunction with a mechanical rear differential lock. For the driver, this means strong resistance to destabilising side forces, outstanding traction and great agility – with precise turn-in and well-balanced load transfer characteristics. What else? Tremendous fun in the corners.
Standard ParkAssist audibly alerts the driver to the presence of obstacles detected behind the vehicle. The reversing camera facilitates precise reverse parking and maneuvering. Help is provided in the form of a camera image and dynamic guidelines on the PCM screen.
Optional Lane Change Assist (LCA) uses radar based technology to monitor the area behind the vehicle and blind spots. The system issues a visual warning signal in the window triangle trims whenever a vehicle approaches your vehicle from behind or enters one of your blind spots.
Available as an option in conjunction with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), this system regulates the speed of your 718 fully independently based on the distance from the vehicle in front. Radar sensors in the front fascia scan the road ahead.
