The Porsche Boxster
Designed by the Dutch vehicle designer Harm Lagaay, the Porsche Boxster is a roadster (also referred to as "spyders" or "spiders") which was introduced just before the beginning of nineteen ninety seven. First in the series was the 986, a two and half litre six cylinder powered sports car which would become two point seven litre three years later when the Boxster S was also introduced. The name "Boxster" originates from the boxer engine (a flat engine where multiple pistons move along a horizontal plan) used in the car, and the roadster class of the car (two seater without a roof, side or rear windows). The design of the Boxster was clearly inspired from the Porsche 356, which was in production between nineteen forty eight and nineteen sixty five. The new roadster proved a great success, with the car turning around the fortunes of the company which was on a down slope for a few years. The car was also much more efficient to produce for the company, with the components shared on a large scale to significantly reduce the costs of production. The two thousand and three 986 Boxster model sported some subtle cosmetic changes. The indicators at the front and side of the car were made clear opposed to the orange on the previous models. The bumpers became more defined, and the rear window was made from glass opposed to plastic. In two thousand and three there were two options of engine size; two point seven litres or three point two litres.

Three years after the premiere of the first Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Porsche now unveils its successor: The new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport represents a consequent further development of the successful model from Weissach. For the first time, the near-standard mid-engine racer comes in two versions ex-works: the 鈥淭rackday鈥?model for ambitious amateur racing drivers and the 鈥淐ompetition鈥?variant for national and international motor racing. In developing the new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, the focus was put not only on further improved driveability and faster lap times but also on the sustainable use of raw materials. The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is the first ever production race car to feature body parts made of natural-fibre composite material. Powering the 718 GT4 Clubsport is a 3.8-litre flat-six engine producing 313 kW (425 hp). Compared to its predecessor, this represents a 40-hp increase in performance. The power is transferred to the rear wheels via a Porsche dual-clutch gearbox with six gears and mechanical rear axle differential lock. The lightweight spring-strut front suspension is taken from its big 911 GT3 Cup brother.
The impressive racing brake system features steel brake discs all round measuring 380 millimetres in diameter. Tipping the scales at 1,320 kilograms, the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, delivered ex-works with a welded-in safety cage, a racing bucket seat as well as a six-point harness, is a real lightweight. The basis 鈥淭rackday鈥?version is aimed at amateur drivers who want to take part in private track and clubsport events without major effort and outlay. The vehicle features a fixed shock absorber setup. The ABS, ESC and traction control assistance systems ensure forgiving handling at the limit and can be deactivated. Also delivered ex-works is the air-conditioning system, a rescue hatch in the roof, a handheld fire-extinguisher and an 80-litre FT3 safety fuel cell. The non-road-homologated vehicle can be serviced at all Porsche Centres. The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport 鈥淭rackday鈥?costs 134,000 Euro plus country-specific VAT. The 鈥淐ompetition鈥?model features a raft of details relevant for racing. The shock absorbers can be adjusted in three stages. The safety fuel tank with a capacity of 115 litres is suitable for long-distance events. Thanks to a brake balance system, the balance bias can be infinitely adjusted between the front and rear axle. An integrated air jack system guarantees fast pit stops. The quick-release racing steering wheel adopted from the 911 GT3 R ensures a range of adjustment options for the individual needs of the drivers. An automatic fire extinguishing system adds another safety feature for the racetrack. The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport 鈥淐ompetition鈥?is priced at 157,000 Euro plus country-specific VAT. 鈥淭he new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport possesses significantly more racing genes than its successful predecessor,鈥?says Porsche鈥檚 head of motorsport Fritz Enzinger. 鈥淭he power of the engine has increased considerably. At the same time, we were able to increase the downforce and the cockpit is now even better suited to drivers鈥?needs.
Porsche Design鈥檚 1919 Globetimer UTC makes it very easy for frequent travelers not to lose a moment of precious time. The local time can be conveniently set with the aid of the ergonomically shaped, optimally positioned pusher. Each press of this button causes the short, local-time hour hand to advance clockwise one position. 鈥?button advances the second time zone by an interval of one hour. When flying west, pressing the 鈥?鈥?button causes the UTC hands to move in the opposite direction. All the while, the UTC hands automatically move, remaining in synchrony. To assure this occurs at midnight and not at noon, the time needs to be set correctly just once. A circular window on the left-hand side of the dial facilitates this task: a white dot appears here during the daytime hours, but the aperture remains black at night. Porsche Design has also taken into account the reference time, for which a second and clearly distinguishable hour hand with a distinctive luminous tip is responsible. This hand turns once every twenty-four hours, showing at a glance whether it is reasonable to phone home, or if it is already too late (or too early) to wake one鈥檚 family. Nothing has been left to chance with the operation of the 1919 Globetimer UTC. To intuitively display the time from any viewing angle, the dial鈥檚 radius has been made as large as possible, while the titanium case was designed to be uncommonly slim. Well-balanced styling imbues this watch with a unique lightness, further enhanced by the handsomely shaped wristband. Color contrasts, distinctive hands, indices and numerals combine with the generous use of nonradioactive Super-LumiNova luminous material to minimize the chance of misreading, even in conditions characterized by poor visibility. In addition, a sevenfold antireflective coating and an extra hard-coated treatment protect the sapphire crystal.
