The new 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and the new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 represent Sportscar Fascination in its purest form. Especially with the sound: the 4.0-litre, six-cylinder horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine is purebred, raw and classic. And not least: thrilling.
Col de Turini.
Two vehicles. Two drivers. One goal: Col de Turini, the legendary pass. Many bends, several unforgettable driving moments. The perfect place for Sportscar Fascination. The butterflies begin. The anticipation rises. As does the pulse.

The new 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and the new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 represent Sportscar Fascination in its purest form. Especially with the sound: the 4.0-litre, six-cylinder horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine is purebred, raw and classic. And not least: thrilling.
What else? Mid-engined layout. Typical of the 718. This means excellent handling and agility to make you celebrate every single bend. Just an athletic, well-trained six-pack in Porsche style that brings us back to the core of the dynamic driving experience. Which we just can’t get enough of, so let’s get some more. More of what we love.
The new 718 GTS 4.0 models. More of what you love.
Exterior
Exterior
The front is typically GTS: powerful and muscular. Large air intakes ensure optimum air supply. Together with the tinted front lights, front spoiler and side airblades in black, they make the front look even wider. The Bi-Xenon main headlights offer excellent visibility. Optional and in an expressive design: the LED headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus). The silhouette with the typical mid-engined flyline is unmistakable: the vehicles' centre of gravity and the distance to the road are low. Large wheel arches give the 20-inch 718 Sport wheels painted in satin black the space they deserve. An eye-catcher: the side strips with ‘GTS 4.0’ logo.
The rear: clear and reduced. Yet it’s everything but restrained. The separated black tailpipes of the Sports exhaust system indicate unbridled power, and the model logo in black adds the signature touch.
In addition, there is a discipline that you don't necessarily expect from a sports car: suitability for everyday use. What other vehicle can give you goosebumps and has two luggage compartments? And lots of well thought-out, useful storage options? So everything fits in. Not least big emotions.
All in all, mercilessly beautiful. Beautifully merciless. Simply the new 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and the new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0.
Interior
Interior
A place that feels like a second skin. That challenges us – and simultaneously gives us everything. Simply a place that we love. Welcome to the cockpit. Focused on performance-oriented ergonomics: motorsport to touch. One example is the race-track-approved Alcantara®, which is used on the steering wheel rim of the GT sports steering wheel and the gear lever. The standard Sports seats Plus offer optimum stability with sporty, firm padding and elevated side bolsters – even for extremely dynamic driving styles. The special feature: the combination of leather and Alcantara® with a striking seam pattern. The seat centres are also finished in Alcantara®. The headrests feature embroidered ‘GTS’ logos.
There is also a choice of all-electric Sports seats and adaptive Sports seats Plus. With numerous personalisable adjustment options. The Sports and full bucket seats bring you even closer to motorsport too.
The optional GTS interior trim package makes the new 718 GTS 4.0 models even more striking and sporty. Striking through the effect of the accent colours Carmine Red and Crayon in the interior. Sporty thanks to the extensive Alcantara® trim in combination with the black leather interior and trim strips in carbon.
Engine
Engine
The next bend awaits. You don’t. The next straight is coming. You’re already right in the middle of it. Why hesitate? Why not play with the entire power output range? Especially with this powerful 4.0-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and its impressive 294kW (400PS). The maximum torque is 5,000 to 6,500rpm, the maximum engine speed 7,800rpm. The sprint brings you to 100km/h in a mere 4.5 seconds. Responsiveness? Direct. High revs? Oh yes.
Highly emotional yet efficient: the power unit is equipped with direct fuel injection (DFI), an integrated dry sump lubrication and an adaptive cylinder control.
In addition, a variable intake manifold with switchable resonance valves provides the engine with optimum ventilation. You’ll know what that means just by listening to the engine. If you want to open up, you need the right sound machine. And that brings us to the Sports exhaust system with the two separated black tailpipes. For an even more powerful, penetrating sports car sound.
The next bend is calling. And you? Are known to be a good listener...
Transmission
Transmission
Forwards. Namely, back to the roots. And for us, that also means: tackle, feel, direct. Six-gears, each better than the one before. Which could cause your muscles to ache. But true sports car driving is also manual work. The precise six-speed manual transmission is fitted with a dual-mass flywheel and brings the high power output of the engine directly to the road. And almost more important: it ensures an extraordinarily sporty driving experience. Performance that touches the heart – the authentic, unadulterated sports car experience.
The standard Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) also improves dynamic performance. The integrated rear differential lock enables higher traction and significantly increased lateral dynamics and vehicle stability during load changes in corners and when changing lanes. PTV also enables outstanding steering behaviour and therefore even greater agility.
The dynamic throttle-blip function in SPORT mode also plays its part when it comes to dynamically advancing the vehicle.
Chassis
Chassis
Right bend, left bend and off you go. Thank you, chassis, you are unbelievable.
Sportily tuned. Direct steering for excellent cornering performance. Just two features that speak for the PASM sports suspension with ride height lowered by 20mm in lightweight construction. For a little more ground clearance and comfort, the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is also available with ride height lowered by 10mm. The electronic damping control system continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on driving style and current road conditions. It offers two settings which can be selected using a button on the centre console: in ‘Normal’ mode, the shock absorption is a blend of sporty and comfortable, and in 'Sport' mode, it is much firmer.
The handling of the 718 GTS 4.0 models: precise, agile. For more driving stability, more driving comfort, more performance. Stop? In a minute. Just one more lap...
Sport Chrono Package
Sport Chrono Package
The standard Sport Chrono Package enables an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission. And launches you to unprecedented sporty heights. In addition to the stopwatch and four selectable driving modes on the GT sports steering wheel, it includes dynamic transmission mounts. These combine the advantages of a hard and soft transmission mounting arrangement and thus increase both driving stability and driving comfort.
Also included in the Sport Chrono Package: the Porsche Track Precision app*. In conjunction with the optional navigation module including Porsche Connect, you can measure lap times and driving data and manage, share and compare results.
* App usage permitted on private land only. Operation of this product (including the video recording feature in particular) could be prohibited by laws or regulations in specific markets or events. Before any use of this product, please check that this is permitted under local laws and regulations.
Wheels
Wheels
For a particularly good connection with the tarmac, the 718 GTS 4.0 models do not drive on just any wheels. The 20-inch 718 sport wheels painted in satin black are standard.
The dimensions of the wheels are performance oriented: 235/35 ZR 20 on 8.5J × 20 front and 265/35 ZR 20 on 10.5J × 20 rear. Plenty of contact surfaces, plenty of grip, plenty of driving pleasure.
Safety and security
Safety and security
Exciting ride? Absolutely. But also totally relaxed. In every bend, in every situation.
The brake system is strengthened and adapted to the high power output. Six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers are used on the front axle. The pedal travel is short, the pressure point precise. Best suited for high performance. This is particularly relevant for the optional motorsport-proven Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). With its large brake disc diameters, 350mm front and rear, it offers impressively high braking performance.
The standard Bi-Xenon main headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights are equally powerful. Optionally available: tinted Bi-Xenon main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and LED main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
For even greater comfort and safety, a wide range of sophisticated assistance systems are available as an option to support and relieve the driver. These include the adaptive cruise control, Lane Change Assist which monitors the area behind the vehicle and the blind spot using radar sensors, or the front and rear ParkAssist including reversing camera.
Sound Systems
Sound Systems
Six-cylinders, even more loudspeakers. Plenty of rock ‘n’ roll for your journeys.
Sound Package Plus
The Sound Package Plus ensures an excellent sound. The acoustic pattern in the vehicle interior is optimally adapted to the driver and passengers by the amplifiers integrated into PCM.
BOSE® Surround Sound System
The optional BOSE® Surround Sound system has been specially developed for the 718 models and is optimally tuned to the specific interior acoustics of these particular vehicles. The audio system features 10 loudspeakers and amplifier channels including a patented, 100-watt subwoofer integral to the vehicle bodyshell. This fully active system set-up enables each individual loudspeaker to be optimally adapted to the vehicle interior. The total output: 505 watts. Should you ever want to drown out the resonant sound of the engine. For whatever reason.
Burmester ® High-End Surround Sound System
For even greater listening pleasure: the optional Burmester ® High-End Surround Sound System. With a total output of 821 watts and 12 individually controlled loudspeakers including a 300-watt active subwoofer with class D digital amplifier integrated in the body, it provides a unique sound experience – even in the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 with the hood open. Sophisticated high-end components, such as special air motion transformers (AMT), and a total diaphragm surface area of more than 1,340cm² enable precision playback even at very high sound levels. A wide selection of preset equalisers ensures a first-class audio experience, while a sound conditioner based on microphone technology adapts the sound sensitively and in real time to the driving situation.
