In Sport, Performance Counts
In sport, performance counts. It applies to the engine and it also applies to the brakes. The 718 models are therefore equipped with four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers. On the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, the brake calipers come with a black finish - red on the S models. Brake disc diameters are 330 mm at the front and 299 mm at the rear. To make them tougher yet lighter and enable a more rapid response - even under extreme loads - the brake calipers have an enclosed monobloc construction. The pedal travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are crossdrilled and internally vented, which helps to provide improved wet braking and optimum cooling. Proven in motorsport, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. On the 718 models, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB have a diameter of 350 mm at the front and rear - for even more formidable braking performance. PCCB features six-piston monobloc aluminum fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear - all painted in yellow - to provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent. PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance. Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.
A plug-in hybrid model with 44 km of electric range is also available but sadly there will be no diesel as Porsche like many others is abandoning them for good in favour of electric technology. For the first time on a Porsche a new laser projection head-up display is available but wasn鈥檛 present on our tester. It promises sharp graphics without the need for a large unsightly screen on the top of the dashboard like many current systems use. 75,500 a modest increase over the last generation but it comes with more standard equipment, like those LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, park assist, remote start and a 20-inch spare. 71,500 and comes similarly equipped. This is not a cheap car and Porsche鈥檚 notoriously expensive options will drive that price skywards in a jiffy. As expensive as it is, this will likely become the best selling Cayenne of all time. Good news for Porsche enthusiasts everywhere as that means more development dollars to build even better 911s. And that鈥檚 a win in anyone鈥檚 books.
The Audi symbol is four ceiling rings that reflect the four manufacturers of Auto Union. This Audi emblem signs the association of the brand Audi with others: Horch, DKW, Wanderer: the initial ring from at the left side represents Audi, the next represents DKW, the third is Horch, then the fourth ring is Wanderer.

The Audi logo with its 4 rings identifies the Germany鈥檚 oldest-established automaker. It symbolizes the association in 1932 of 4 previously independent motor-car manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Wanderer and Horch. These companies initiate the roots of that is today AUDI.
