The Boxter and Cayman GTS twins with the serial number 718 arrived just in time before we start writing letters to Santa Claus and Santa Claus. In short, these two sporty beauties from Stuttgart could be described with more black paint, more horsepower and a 6-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. And if the previous GTS-twins are anything to go by, the newcomers are even better and therefore certainly even more fun.
Australian track cyclist Anna Meares, multiple world and Olympic 500m champion and world record holder, has a big new scalp. Not only other cyclists, it turns out that Porsche is also watching her back! It has better acceleration than a Porsche Boxter! Don't believe it? Watch the video in which he makes the famous car athlete smile.
The last Porsche Boxster was quite old, so Porsche decided to renovate its smallest convertible. The Porsche 718 Boxster retains the recognizable features of the series, but has gained some extra muscle. They also changed the interior a bit, where we find changes to the dashboard and air intake slots, and the Porsche Communication Management system was also "repainted". And another important piece of information, they dropped two cylinders. Nevertheless, the 718 Boxster is more powerful than its predecessor.
Porsche published an interesting video in which it reveals how in the early 90s they hid the emerging boxster model from the public and the competition, masking it in the body of the 911 targa model. However, so that the public would not find out about the secret in the form of a centrally placed engine, the rear window was replaced with an opaque one.
