New 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS

The new 718 GTS models are the embodiment of forward thrust -- even when stationary. Thanks to a sharpened design language and accents in black. The rear is clearly contoured and looks wide and imposing due to the rear apron and the centrally positioned sports tailpipes in black. The LED taillights are tinted, the model logo is also finished in black.

The high-powered 2.5-litre turbocharged and horizontally opposed cylinder engine with direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and integrated dry-sump lubrication delivers a mighty 269 kW (365 hp) to the road. Top speed isn't reached until 290 km/h. The dash from 0 to 100 km/h is quite remarkable, too: with the 6-speed manual transmission, the new 718 GTS models complete the sprint in a mere 4.6 seconds. And it gets sportier still: with Launch Control of the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the clock stops after just 4.1 seconds.

The 718 GTS models are fitted with a turbocharger engineered specifically for the respective power output of the engine, boosting performance and efficiency thanks to a modified compression system. Technology taken from the 911 <nobr>Turbo</nobr> helps to achieve excellent responsiveness at low engine speeds and a high maximum power output. With the sports exhaust system, the powerful sound of the mid-mounted engine becomes even more intense -- at the push of a button. The centrally positioned two-tract sports tailpipes in stainless steel are finished in high-gloss black.

The large air intakes help to ensure an optimum supply of air. And they also make the front look even wider and more imposing. This impression is reinforced by the tinted front light units, the front spoiler and the outer air blades in black. The outlook is bright thanks to the Bi-Xenon main headlights. Optional LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) offer excellent safety combined with a sporty design. 20-inch Carrera S wheels with a dynamic 10-spoke design help to ensure solid road holding. They are -- typically for a GTS -- finished in satin black. A selection of other 20-inch wheels is available from our range of personalization options.

The interior integrates the driver perfectly into the vehicle. All the important information you need is directly within view. Alcantara(R), the proven motorsport material, ensures a good grip. In the new 718 GTS models, it is used primarily for surfaces within close reach: such as on the steering wheel rim and gear lever/ selector. Sports seats Plus help to create the seating sensation typical of a sports car. The special part? The combination of leather and Alcantara(R) and a striking seam pattern. The seat centers are in Alcantara(R) and the headrests are embroidered with 'GTS' logos. Sports bucket seats are available as an option for an even more authentic motorsport feel.

The Sport Chrono Package enables an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission. And launches you to unprecedented sporty heights. Besides the four selectable performance modes available from the GT sports steering wheel, the Sport Chrono Package offers additional functions in conjunction with PDK -- for maximum responsiveness and maximum acceleration.

The Sport Chrono Package also includes the Porsche Track Precision app. In conjunction with Connect Plus of Porsche Connect, you can clock lap times, collate driving stats, manage the results and share them with others for comparison.
