Porsche has launched the new 718 Cayman and Boxster in the country, which are priced at Rs 81.63 lakh and Rs 85.53 lakh ex-showroom Delhi respectively. The third generation 718 Boxster gets more striking and sporty appearance, while the new 718 Cayman complements the Roadster. The newly launched cars claim to offer better performance figure as compared to the older generation models.
The new 718 Cayman and the Boxster are powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, which replaces the older 3.4-litre, six cylinder. Cayman claims to generate an additional 90Nm of torque over its predecessor. It comes with seven-speed automatic PDK gearbox, the 2.0-litre engines produce 298 bhp and 380Nm of torque which allows the vehicle to do 0-100kmph in just about 5.1 seconds. The top speed for both cars has been at 275kmph. To deliver best handling, the new models are offered with retuned chassis, a wider front and side air-intake with side skirts for aerodynamics. Both the 718 Boxster and the 718 Cayman get a redesigned front with larger cooling intakes, and the Bi-Xenon headlights with the LED DRLs get a design update too.
Inside, the upper part of the dashboard and the air vents are new, and the 718 Boxster and Cayman get a 918 Spyder design sport steering wheel. PCM (Porsche Communication Management) now forms a part of the standard equipment. 718 Boxster is offered with a Vehicle Tracking System Plus (PVTS+) as standard. The Porsche 718 Boxster competes with the Mercedes-AMG SLC43, priced at Rs 77.50 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi. The 718 Cayman doesn't have any real competition for now as there is no other 2-seater sports coupe available in the price range.
