2019 Porsche 718 Boxster / 718 Cayman T: The New Sweet Spot
You can鈥檛 say that Porsche doesn鈥檛 give its buyers enough variety. Hot off the reveal of the new 992-generation 911, that car鈥檚 little siblings, the popular 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster, are receiving the 鈥淭鈥?treatment. The new models will slot in between the base models and the uplevel S versions. In effect, the 718 T copy/pastes the options list from the 911 Carrera T from earlier this year. Whether you pick the Boxster or the Cayman, each 718 T packs the base 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four, pushing out 296 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Pick the six-speed manual transmission, and 60 mph arrives from a standstill in 4.9 seconds. The PDK automatic drops that time down to as quick as 4.5 seconds, while both T cars top out at 170 mph. For the first time, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is offered with the base engine, dropping ride height by 0.8 inch. There鈥檚 also trick Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), a mechanical limited-slip diff, a sport exhaust, active engine mounts, and 20-inch wheels. Just like the Carrera T, the shifter on the manual transmission is shortened for quicker shifts. Visually, each 718 T gets Titanium Gray wheels with matching mirror caps. The Sport Chrono package is standard as well, adding selectable driving modes on the steering wheel and launch control for cars equipped with PDK. Inside, the changes are subtler, being limited largely to red nylon door pulls and 鈥?18 T鈥?badging on the door sills and gauges. 70,350 718 Cayman S. Boxsters will cost a couple grand more.
Porsche has dropped some details on the 2019 911 GT3 RS, a car that will make its official global debut next month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The car uses the most powerful naturally-aspirated Porsche engine yet with 520 hp and 346 lb-ft. 4.0L flat-six. That is enough power to push this 911 to 193 mph on the top end and from 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds, shaving 0.1 second off of the prior GT3 RS. The only transmission available is a quick-shifting 7-speed PDK, so sorry manual transmission fans. The car also has some serious aero bits. Porsche claims that the car makes more than twice the downforce at 124 mph than the regular 911 GT3. Lots of carbon fiber was used in the car body and interior to save weight along with a magnesium roof. 18,000 Weissach package replaces more parts with carbon fiber, shedding another 13 pounds from the car, for a curb weight of just 3,153 pounds. 13,000 on magnesium wheels that are 25 pounds lighter than the standard wheels, and losing unsprung weight like that should make the car feel even more nimble.
