    Porsche 718 Cayman, Boxster priced at Rs 80.13 lakh and Rs 83.95 lakh respectively

    Porsche has opened bookings for the Porsche 718 Cayman and the 718 Boxster prior to their official launch, with price-tags of Rs 80.13 lakh and Rs 83.95 lakh (both ex-showroom Mumbai). Unlike the previous-generation cars, the convertible Boxster is more expensive than the coupé Cayman this time around.

    The 718 Boxster and the 718 Cayman are now powered by 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engines, as compared to the 3.4-litre, six-cylinder, naturally aspirated ones of the previous generation. The 2.0-litre engine will produce 300hp of power and 380Nm of torque, propelling both cars from 0-100kph in 5.1 seconds, and onto a top speed of 275kph. Both cars come with a seven-speed automatic PDK gearbox.

    This time round, Porsche will offer the cars with an “adequate” amount of equipment as standard, unlike the previous-generation Cayman and Boxster, which came with little standard equipment. Both cars come with ceramic brakes, bi-xenon headlamps with integrated four-point LED daytime running lights, electronically-folding exterior mirrors, sports seats, a Porsche 918-inspired sports steering wheel, the Porsche Communication Management system and an eight-speaker music system (six-speaker in the 718 Boxster) as standard.

    Porsche will be launching the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman as soon as next month, while deliveries will probably begin in November this year. Both cars will be available in standard and ‘S’ trims.
