The legendary Porsche 718 is back

Mid-engine Sports Cars have a long tradition at Porsche. Starting with the Porsche 550 Spyder in 1953, a Sports Car that caused a sensation on both the race track and on the road with an empty weight of just around 550 kilograms. The Porsche 550 Spyder impressively demonstrated the superiority of the mid-engine concept in combination with a consistent lightweight construction when it crossed the finishing line of the Targa Florio with a lead of almost 15 minutes over the rest of the field in 1956.

The Porsche 718 was the logical development of the mid-engine Sports Car: lightweight, fast and beautiful. In addition to winning numerous races, it also won the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts and even more those of its drivers. Due to its outstanding power-to-weight ratio, it had a top speed of up to 260 km/h (162 mph) and offered excellent manoeuvrability. This meant that it was able to surpass once more the racing successes of its predecessor: among other things, it won the Targa Florio in 1959 and 1960. With the development of the Boxster, Porsche continued the long tradition of mid-engine Sports Cars in the middle of the 1990s. The Boxster was joined by the Cayman around 10 years later, also a typical Porsche mid-engine Sports Car.

The new 718 models

We are committed to the tradition of Porsche – and so we take one step back in order to take a leap into the dynamic future of our mid-engine Sports Cars. The 718 set standards on the race track. The new 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman will now follow in its footsteps from the start of 2016. And the Porsche maxim still holds as true today as it did then: Intelligent Performance.

The next 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman generation also shows its motor sport origins in the model range designation “718” and interprets this tradition with newly developed vehicles and highly efficient engines.

Newly developed flat-four turbo engines

Following on the tradition of the 1957 718 with its flat-four engine, the 718 model range builds on this heritage with new flat-four turbo engines developed by Porsche. These powerful engines open up the next, breathtaking chapter in terms of the performance of our mid-engine Sports Cars.

The most important difference is preserved by means of the “Boxster” and “Cayman” names: one of the 718 models is open, the other closed. Both fulfil Sports Car dreams, enhanced by the absolute desire for uncompromising sportiness.

[quote=”Harley G” post=248039]best opvragen bij je OPC. Ik weet dat ze maar beperkt aantal 718’s toegewezen gekregen hebben omdat de 911 zo populair is en deze voorrang geniet. (brengt wellicht een pak meer op voor dezelfde uren arbeid 🙂 )[/quote]

Das wel redelijk triestig , 7-8 maand wachten is veel te lang vindik. (weliswaar de klassieke VAG termijn) hadden ze dan beter de fabriek in Valmet laten CayBoxen maken.. Kwaliteit is gewoon top bij auto’s die daar gemaakt werden (de mijne is van Valmet en mijn firmawagen was ook van daar)…

PORSCHE ISSUES RECALL AND STOP-SALE ON 718 CAYMAN AND BOXSTER MODELS

[i]Porsche Cars North America is issuing a voluntary safety recall for 2017 through 2019 model year 718 Boxsters and Caymans. Porsche has indicated that in a frontal crash test a longitudinal crash beam may not perform as intended. As a result, the lower crash beam may penetrate the bulkhead wall or fuel tank. This causes the component to be non-compliant with certain requirements of UN Regulation R-94.

The recall is being implemented as a result of internal quality control efforts by Porsche. Per the manufacturer this defect has not resulted in accidents or injuries to date.

Affected vehicles will be recalled to authorized Porsche dealers, and the lower longitudinal member will be secured with additional rivets. Owners will be notified about the recall by mail, and per the manufacturer the work will take about an hour and a half and will be handled free of charge. 14,388 vehicles in the United States and Puerto Rico are affected.

At this time the recall appears to be fully internal, and is not listed on the NTHSA pages for the model.[/i]

Porsche Recalling Small Number of 2017 Caymans, Boxsters and 991

It has been reported to Porsche that there may be a defect in certain vendor supplied airbag products. Porsche understand that under certain manufacturing conditions, on two separate production lines operated by an Autoliv Group company, there were deviations in the generant mix ratio of some initiators. Some of these products were supplied to Porsche. If the generant mix ratio does not meet specification, the initiators may not function properly, possibly leading to a “non-deployment” condition in the event if a vehicle crash.

Porsche’s supplier, Autolive, will provide replacement components to Porsche. Once that happens, the small number of cars affected will be recalled to the dealer to have replacement components installed.

The recall notice itself was issued on December 22, 2016. At the time, Porsche said it would notify affected customers within 10 days. So, by now if you were one of the small number to have had this issue you should have heard from your dealer/Porsche by now.
