Porsche is adding two distinctively sporty and high-specification models to its mid-engine sports car range: the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. The new two-seaters are powered by the same four-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine that is used in the 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4. When combined with the manual six-speed transmission and sports exhaust system, the latest additions to Porsche’s GTS line-up produce 400hp (294kW), resulting in an exhilarating driving experience.

The models complete a sprint to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds and have a top speed of 293km/h. Thanks to the standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) sports suspension, as well as a 20mm lower ride height and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical limited slip rear differential, this new generation of GTS models achieves a remarkable balancing act between dynamic handling and everyday comfort. Alongside the standard Sport Chrono package, which emphasises the athletic nature of the new mid-engine models, black contrasting design elements and a dark Alcantara interior showcase typical features of GTS sports cars.

Both models are available to order now with the first units arriving from May 2020 onwards.
