porsche announces 718 boxster and cayman style editions

Porsche is a brand for car nerds. There is no legitimate need for 1,700 variations on the 911 every year, but we get them, and people buy them before they even leave the factory. The 718 Cayman and Boxster have also had their fair share of special editions over the years. While they are nowhere near as common as “special” 911s, it’s not hard to find them, and Porsche just announced a new 718 variant to add to the stable.

The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman Style Edition cars get unique exterior trim, available exclusive colors, and special interior touches. Porsche also throws in more standard equipment with the upgrade and offers a six-speed manual as standard. The Style Edition cars’ powertrain carries over from the 718 and 718 T, which includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 300 horsepower.

The “style” part of the Style Edition comes from the exclusive Ruby Star Neo paint color, which looks to have rolled right off the set of the new Barbie movie. It’s a re-imagination of the Ruby Star color featured on the 964 911 Carrera RS, giving the car an unmissable presence. If the pink is too much for you, don’t worry: Porsche says the car is recognizable as a Style Edition, even without the bright paint. It gets 20-inch wheels with painted center caps, black tailpipe finishers, and silver Porsche lettering.

Added standard features include bi-xenon headlights, cruise control, Apple CarPlay, a parking sensor system, and more. Porsche equips heated seats and dual-zone climate controls and says that the car’s black leather package comes with “crayon” accent stitching. The regular options catalog is available as well.

I'm not sure furious fuchsia paint works on the Boxster or Cayman but the Taycan or Panamera could probably pull it off.

Kendahl Fifteen years ago, the GTO was on my short list of automotive retirement presents to myself. It was just a bit too big and gas mileage sucked compared to the 6-speed Infiniti G37S coupe I bought after test driving several brands. It's a pity owners of cars that are collectible the day they are bought screw them up with aftermarket modifications they don't need. I'd offer they seller top price less what it would cost to put the car back to stock. (I just traded in the Infiniti, in mechanically excellent and cosmetically very good condition with 78k miles, for a 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing.)
EBFlex This should help Fords quality
Analoggrotto By the time any of Hyundai's Japanese competitors were this size and age, they produced iconic vehicles which are now highly desirable and going for good money used. But Hyundai/Kia have nothing to this point that anyone will care about in the future. Those 20k over MSRP Tellurides? Worn out junk sitting at the used car lot, worn beyond their actual age. Hyundai/Kia has not had anything comparable to the significance of CVCC, 240Z, Supra, Celica, AE86, RX-(7), 2000GT, Skyline, GT-R, WRX, Evo, Preludio, CRX, Si, Land Cruiser, NSX etc. All of this in those years where Detroiters and Teutonic prejudiced elitists were openly bashing the Japanese with racist derogatory language. Tiger Woods running off the road in a Genesis didn't open up a moment, and the Genesis Sedan featuring in Inception didn't matter any more than the Lincoln MKS showing up for a moment in Dark Knight. Hyundai/Kia are too busy attempting to re-invent others' history for themselves. But hey, they have to start somewhere and the N74 is very cool looking today in semi rendered pictures. Hyundai/Kia's biggest fans are auto Journalists who for almost 2 decades have been hyping them up to deafening volumes contributing further distrust in any media.
Bd2 Other way around.Giorgetto Giugiaro penned the Pony Coupe during the early 1970s and later used its wedge shape as the basis for the M1 and then the DMC-12.The 3G Supra was just one of many Japanese coupes to adopt the wedge shape (actually was one of the later ones).The Mitsubishi Starion, Nissan 300ZX, etc.
Tassos I also want one of the idiots who support the ban to explain to me how it will work.Suppose sometime (2035 or later) you cannot buy a new ICE vehicle in the UK.Q1: Will this lead to a ICE fleet resembling that of CUBA, with 100 year old '56 Chevys eventually? (in that case, just calculate the horrible extra pollution due to keeping 100 year old cars on the road)Q2: Will people be able to buy PARTS for their old cars FOREVER?Q3: Will people be allowed to jump across the Channel and buy a nice ICE in France, Germany (who makes the best cars anyway), or any place else that still sells them, and then use it in the UK?
