The two most powerful and fastest mid-engine sports models from Porsche have uprated engines and the excellent PASM chassis in the Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
The new uprated models have blackened bi-xenon headlights – with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) as standard – and exterior lettering in silky black gloss are subtle yet unmistakable features of the new top models.
Boxster GTS
The six-cylinder boxer engines fitted in the new top models are based on the 3.4 liter engines from the Boxster S and Cayman S respectively. Thanks to optimized fine tuning they now deliver an additional 15 hp (11 kW). This means that the Boxster GTS now has an output of 330 hp (243 kW), whilst the Cayman GTS delivers 340 hp (250 kW). The torque has also increased by ten Newton meters in each model.
The Sport Chrono package is a standard feature in both cars. This means that in conjunction with the optional Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) and the active Sport Plus button, the Boxster GTS claims 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, whilst the Cayman GTS is a tenth of a second faster.
Top speed for the Boxster S is 281 km/h and the Cayman S is 285 km/h the sports coupé is even faster. Fuel consumption figures are of 8.2 l/100 km with PDK and 9.0 l/100 km with manual transmission.
Tyres are 235/35 at the front and 265/35 at the rear on 20 inch Carrera S wheels. Both cars come with sports seats and leather interiors as standard. Like other GTS models from Porsche they are refined with Alcantara elements.
The new models will be launched from May 2014. With country-specific equipment and VAT the Boxster GTS costs €69,949 and the Cayman GTS costs €73,757 in Germany.
