2018 Porsche 718 GTS Performance
Chassis
On the 718 GTS models, the lightweight chassis with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) delivers precise and agile handling. PASM, the electronic damping control system, continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. The body sits 10 mm lower than that of the 718 and 718 S models. The result: increased driving stability, increased safety and increased performance.
6-speed manual transmission
The 718 GTS models are equipped with a smooth shifting 6-speed manual transmission optimally matched to the respective engine map. The shift throws are sporty and short – shift effort is low. This means short shift times for a sporty and directly engaging driving experience.
Engine
The high-powered 2.5-litre turbocharged and horizontally opposed cylinder engine with direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and integrated dry-sump lubrication delivers a mighty 269 kW (365 hp) to the road. Top speed isn’t reached until 290 km/h. The dash from 0 to 100 km/h is quite remarkable, too: with the 6-speed manual transmission, the new 718 GTS models complete the sprint in a mere 4.6 seconds. And it gets sportier still: with Launch Control of the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the clock stops after just 4.1 seconds.
2018 Porsche 718 GTS Appearance
Exterior design
The new 718 GTS models are the embodiment of forward thrust – even when stationary. Thanks to a sharpened design language and accents in black. The rear is clearly contoured and looks wide and imposing due to the rear apron and the centrally positioned sports tailpipes in black. The LED taillights are tinted, the model logo is also finished in black.
Sports exhaust system
With the sports exhaust system, the powerful sound of the mid-mounted engine becomes even more intense – at the push of a button. The centrally positioned two-tract sports tailpipes in stainless steel are finished in high-gloss black.
718 GTS concept
The new 718 GTS models are never satisfied. They always crave more. More heart pounding from the start. More corners per kilometre. And more adrenaline with every metre. With an uprated midmounted engine and a chassis unfazed by any hairpin turn. Their power follows an upward path, their design looks forwards: with sharpened forms, honed lines, exquisite materials.
2018 Porsche 718 GTS Comfort
Interior design
The interior integrates the driver perfectly into the vehicle. All the important information you need is directly within view. Alcantara®, the proven motorsport material, ensures a good grip. In the new 718 GTS models, it is used primarily for surfaces within close reach: such as on the steering wheel rim and gear lever/ selector. Sports seats Plus help to create the seating sensation typical of a sports car. The special part? The combination of leather and Alcantara® and a striking seam pattern. The seat centres are in Alcantara® and the headrests are embroidered with ‘GTS’ logos. Sports bucket seats are available as an option for an even more authentic motorsport feel.
GTS interior package
The optionally available GTS interior package makes the new 718 GTS models even more visually succinct and sporty. More succinct, thanks to the impression created by the accent colours of Carmine Red or Crayon in the interior. More sporty, thanks to extensive items in Alcantara® combined with the interior scheme of black leather and decorative trims in carbon.
Sound Package Plus
Sound Package Plus delivers excellent sound. It comprises six loudspeakers and a total output of 110 watts in the new 718 Boxster GTS, and eight loudspeakers with 150 watts in the new 718 Cayman GTS.
2018 Porsche 718 GTS Safety
New Car Limited Warranty & Porsche 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Program for 4-Years / 50,000 Miles (whichever occurs first)
Brakes
The new 718 GTS models are therefore equipped with four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers, all finished in red. They are light and resistant to deformation. The brake discs are crossdrilled and internally vented, which helps to provide improved wet braking and optimum cooling.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), which includes expressive four-point daytime running lights, headlight cleaning system, dynamic cornering light and dynamic range control, is available as an option.
