Those who held out for a potent 718, you made the right choice.\u00a0Stuttgart’s finest has lifted the wraps off the Porsche 718 GTS available as a Cayman or a Boxster and is a feisty\u00a0one indeed.<\/p>\n
What makes these models so desirable is what drives the wheels. You may remember Porsche\u00a0ditching the flat-six in favour of a four-cylinder\u00a0engine. The Porsche 718 GTS stays true and draws power from a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-pot unit.<\/p>\n
Rated at 365 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque, a 15 hp\u00a0increase\u00a0compared to\u00a0718 S models and\u00a035 hp more\u00a0than\u00a0its\u00a0predecessor courtesy\u00a0of a\u00a0newly developed air intake-duct and tweaked turbocharger.<\/p>\n
Customers can choose between a PDK transmission and a more engaging six-speed manual. With the automatic gearbox fitted, 0-100 km\/h is achieved in 4.1 seconds before maxing out a 290 km\/h.<\/p>\n
There’s\u00a0more to the vehicle than a punchy motor. Highlights include a new front splitter, tinted lights, 20-inch alloys finished in satin black, black rear diffuser and a central twin exhaust pipe setup.<\/p>\n
Inside, the interior transitions across from the standard 718 lineup with a few unique features here and there. This includes Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and sports seats, GTS logos stitched into both seats and Sports Chrono Package\u00a0as standard to complete the package.<\/p>\n
These exciting new models will go on sale early next year in the Middle East. 718 Cayman GTS’s start at AED 277,100 and 718 Boxter GTS’s start at AED 288,800.<\/p>\n
