If you’re looking to get into the world of sports cars, you can’t go wrong with the Porsche 718. This classic coupe delivers an exciting driving experience that’s uncommon with other vehicles. Here’s all you need to know about the 2022 Porsche 718 to get you started in your search.
Your 718, Your Style
The 2022 Porsche 718 is offered in many styles, but all fall under three primary categories: the 718 Cayman, 718 Boxster, and 718 Spyder.
The 718 Cayman is produced in several sub-levels: the standard Cayman, then the Cayman T, Cayman S, Cayman GTS 4.0, and Cayman GT4. Most of these trim levels are offered in the Boxster style, which is simply a convertible version of the Cayman. The GT4 is not available in the Boxster configuration. A special edition called the Boxster 25 Years is not available in the Cayman configuration.
The classic 718 Spyder is a stand-alone trim level of the 718 series. It’s essentially a Boxster with reduced weight and more powerful performance features.
Great Power
You can get your 2022 718 with one of three engine options. The strongest engine is a 4.0-liter flat-six engine that outputs an impressive 394 or 414 horsepower, depending on the loadout you choose. The lower-level 718s are outfitted with one of two turbocharged flat-four engines: a 2.0-liter option that produces either 300 horsepower or a 2.5-liter option that delivers 350 horsepower.
Aim for the Cayman T or Boxster T to utilize the available sport-tuned suspension for an all-around more dynamic driving experience, especially around corners. Opt for the GT4 or the Spyder for access to the available dual-clutch automatic transmission that allows you to push forward through shift points. The classic six-speed manual transmission is still available as well.
Interior Features
Despite its coupe body, the 718 series still gives you plenty of cargo space in the dual trunks in the front and rear. This is true even of the convertible models. You have several seat options to choose from, ranging from the simple but comfortable Sport Seats to the highly adjustable adaptive Sport Seats Plus and performance-minded full bucket seats. From heated and ventilated front seats and leather upholstery to multiple available premium sound systems, the 718 Series creates an elevated interior experience to make the most of your drives.
Technology
In addition to its strength and excellent design style, the Porsche 718 also enhances your drives with plenty of technology features. Each model comes outfitted with a touch screen that performs many functions. Use the real-time traffic information programs in the integrated navigation system to find the best routes to your destination. Use the Porsche Connect program to connect your smartphone to your 718 for hands-free connectivity. The 718 also has access to several driver-assist technologies, including a forward mitigation system and a blind-spot monitor.
