  • Press Release December 10, 2015 No
    Press Release December 10, 2015 No. 127/15 Mid-engine sports cars from Porsche get new names Boxster and Cayman now to be marketed as 718 model series Stuttgart. The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman – these will be the new names of the two-door mid-engine sports cars from Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG effective with the 2016 model changeover. The Stuttgart car manufacturer’s 718 designation is a refer- ence to the ground-breaking sports car of this type of the year 1957, which enjoyed much success in renowned car races. The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman are show- ing more similarities – both visual and technical. In the future, both will have equally powerful four-cylinder flat engines with turbocharging. The Roadster will be posi- tioned at a higher price level than the Coupé – as is done for the 911 models. Porsche will introduce the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman over the course of 2016. The 718 model series is a continuation of the proven four-cylinder concept and the history of distinguished Porsche sports cars. The latest example is the 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car, which also has a highly-efficient, turbocharged four- cylinder engine with just 2 litres of displacement. So, not only did Porsche finish first and second in the 24 hours of Le Mans, but most recently it also won the manufac- turer’s and driver’s championship titles in the WEC World Endurance Championship. With these victories, the 919 Hybrid has opened up the prospects for the perfor- mance potential of future sports car engines from Porsche.

The 993 became Mark’s daily driver for the first few years, but was eventually relegated to the status of weekend warrior. During a stint in Wellington the Porsche was exercised regularly through the Rimutakas, over to Greytown and Martinborough.
