Weight is calculated in accordance with the relevant EC Directives and is valid for vehicles with standard specification only. Optional equipment increases this figure. The figure given includes 75kg for the driver.
Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law (Regulation EC 715/2007 as amended). The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as
a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Fuel consumption calculated for vehicles with standard specification only. Actual consumption and performance may vary with items of optional equipment. A vehicles fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions depend not only on its efficient use of fuel but also on driving style and other non-technical factors. The latest Porsche models with petrol engine are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to
10%. You can obtain further information about individual vehicles from your Porsche Centre.

Life is now open 24hours.

Summary.

Well let the 718 legend be just that for

now. And well turn our attention instead
to what awaits us in the great outdoors.
To all the cities of this world, and to all
the world beyond those cities. To the
more than 35 million kilometres of road,
with their countless twists and turns. And
to being right in the centre of it all. In a
mid-engined sports car that conveys with
every fibre exactly what it is: insatiable.
The legend lives on. In the new
718Boxster and 718Cayman.
For the sport of it.
