Porsche has taken the wraps off the new 718 GTS.
Designed to appeal to driving enthusiasts, the model features a new front
bumper and tinted lighting units.
The sporty styling continues at the rear as
designers installed a black rear apron and a center-mounted sports exhaust
system. Other highlights include black GTS badging and 20-inch wheels with a
satin black finish.
The interior largely carries over and comes equipped
with Alcantara sport seats featuring GTS logos embroidered into the headrests.
Drivers will also find an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and a standard Sport
Chrono Package.
Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.5-liter
four-cylinder engine that develops 365 PS and up to 430 Nm of torque. The engine can be paired to either a six-speed manual or an optional
PDK transmission. When equipped with the latter gearbox, the cars can
accelerate 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds before hitting a top speed of
290 km/h.
The 718 GTS is currently available to order and
German pricing starts at € 76,137 for the Cayman GTS and € 78,160 for the Boxster
GTS. U.S. deliveries are slated to begin in March and pricing starts at US$ 79,800
for the Cayman GTS and US$ 81,900 for the Boxster GTS.
