Engine and Transmission: 

For Porsche enthusiasts, the most important thing is its engineering. The 718 gets two brand new engines – a 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre four-cylinder engines. Porsche has also retained the signature boxer layout of the engines. The 2.0-litre 295bhp power and 380Nm torque engine will power the Boxster and the Cayman, while the ‘S’ versions will feature the 345bhp, 420Nm torque 2.5-litre mill. While globally, the 718s are available with manual options as well, in India, you will get the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic gearbox with the optional Sport Chrono package that helps in quicker shifts. 

Exterior: 

The front bumper has been tweaked, and the three-part air dam looks sporty with the blacked-out mesh grille and the LED daytime running lamps. The headlamps get the optional quad LED setup and looks menacing. While the profile is the same, the tail has got a complete makeover. The strip connecting the two LED tail lamps separates the rear bumper from the fender and looks dapper. 

Interior: 

On the inside, it gets a stylish Panamera-like layout with an integrated touch-screen display for the infotainment system. The classic three-spoke steering wheel gets paddle shifters for the automatic transmission.  

Safety and features: 

It gets a three-round ascending centre console, a sports steering wheel, instrument cluster with rev counters. Besides this, it also gets a lightweight stainless steel exhaust system with a rear silencer and two clear tailpipes.
