Porsche 718 Boxster – Design.
The new 718 Boxster – Design.
20 years after the first Boxster made its debut, Porsche is restructuring its mid-engine roadsters. The designation for the new generation of models is 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S. The two-seat convertibles are now more powerful yet more fuel efficient. With them, Porsche continues the tradition of the four-cylinder flat engines that were used in the Porsche 718 mid-engine sports cars that won numerous races back in the 1950s and 1960s, among them being the legendary Targa Florio and Le Mans.

The 718 era is back with the new 718 Boxster. At its heart, a fourcylinder turbocharged horizontally opposed engine beats with the same fighting spirit that delivered countless podium finishes.

Historically
the soft-top Boxster has sat below the coupe Cayman in Porsche’s pricing
hierarchy, but that’s about to change
Just as a 911 Cabrio costs more
than a coupe, the 718 Boxster will set buyers back around 1500 Euro more than
the Cayman on the continent when it comes to market in April 2016 The
Cayman will arrive six months later
Unless
you’re viewing the 718 from underneath, even Porsche fetishists might need to
look twice to see what’s changed from Boxster to 718 Badges aside, restyled LED head- and
tail-lights are the most obvious external change, with four bright dots per
unit and horizontal light bars for the indicators and rear lights Inside, a new instrument panel gets rid of the
old noisy, relatively breathless air vents
Sensibly,
Porsche’s not done anything drastic on the chassis front But
there are minor tweaks - half-inch-wider rear wheels, a new, grippier tyre
compound, mildly tweaked suspension kinematics, bigger brakes and more
sensitive stability control software The electric power steering’s been quickened
to 2 5 turns lock to lock, making it
10% speedier, and the wheel itself gets a new mannetino-style rotary selector
on the steering wheel to toggle modes for the stability control, suspension and
gearbox (depending on which option boxes are ticked)

The rumors were mostly true Porsche had already confirmed that the Boxster and Caymans would receive a "718" appended to their badges, in honor of their famous mid-engined racecar of the 1950s and '60s, but the mechanical details were left up in the air We were almost certain both would be powered by turbocharged flat-fours of a couple of displacements and outputs, and now we can confirm that this is the case The biggest news concerns the flat-fours The regular 718 Boxster will get a 2-liter, turbocharged flat-four producing 300 hp The 718 Boxster S will get an extra half-liter of displacement and a variable-geometry turbocharger to produce a total of 350 hp This represents a 35 hp gain over the current Boxster and Boxster S, respectively Porsche also claims the turbo fours improve fuel economy by around 13 percent By the NEDC European test cycle, the 2-liter gets roughly 34 mpg and the 2.5 gets 32 mpg, although rest assured that EPA test results will yield different numbers than the optimistic tests of EU

Porsche - The new 911 Turbo – Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
What's so new about the new 911 Turbo? The new Porsche flagship has been revealed, and it looks well. Keeping the new 911 Turbo on the asphalt is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). For more agile handling, It enhances the standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) by actively distributing to the outside rear wheel while cornering to help scoot the tail around-engined 911 really needs the help. 911 Turbo has a new engine under its familiar deck lid. The new flat-six boxer engine has been bumped up to 3.8 liters. It uses a combination of a variable-turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger system. VTG is direct fuel injection (DFI), and the GT2's expansion intake manifold to create 500 horsepower. Maximum torque is up by to 516 pound-feet when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package. Provided as standard, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is an active all-wheel drive system with an electronically variable map-controlled multi-plate clutch. It distributes drive power between the permanently driven rear axle and the front axle.
