Porsche 718 Boxster 2017

The fourth generation of one of the most famous open - top two - seater in the world is already at dealerships. We talked about the Porsche Boxster that with this new model adds 718 stands nomenclature as a tribute to the famous race car Stuttgart firm.

Just before its official launch at the Geneva Motor Show, Porsche invited us to see all the details of its new convertible in a static presentation with several "workshops" or conferences where detailing each of their news. The day ended with a copilots in the test circuit that Michelin has installed on Fontange.

718 Boxster also gives us the opportunity to enjoy that pleasure at the wheel of a sports car with a design line very sexy, with a position low driving but less radical than you might think, with good visibility and sound nice escape chasing us wherever he passed.

The looks of passersby are set in the colorful row of eight 718 Boxster that channel the city streets towards Cascais. With the roof closed soundproofing is pretty good, but obviously not reach the levels that offer vehicles with roof. Even so, surprisingly enough.

The "S" variant has a 2.5 liter boxer configuration, and turbo with 350 hp and 420 Nm of torque. The introduction of the turbocharger and reduce consumption and increase power and torque ensures constant delivery at very low returns.

And top down, to roll quiet while enjoying the scenery, while a conversation with your companion is maintained, no need for anything rev the engine. The 420 Nm of torque are constant from 1900 to 4500 rpm, but before and It offers a significant boost. Circulating on long marches low - end consumption will be around a figure close to 9 liters if we strive to not get carried away by a passion to sink a little more throttle account.

In this variant the mechanical consists of a four - cylinder turbo 2 liter with 300 hp and 380 Nm of torque between 1,950 and 4,500 rpm.

To shoot peaceful little difference between the two. Both have a good push from either down and staggering the perfect gear. In normal driving mode change management PDK gives us extremely smooth transitions, barely noticing even the slightest tug.

The aerodynamic worked excellently protects the occupants from the wind. The reverb level with the top down is quite low and only if we lower the side windows are created turmoil inside. Maintain a convesación without raising his voice is a good sign of good work done.

When road conditions permit, a fan motor hardly find anything more exciting than driving a sports car on a mountain. 718 Boxster has everything to convince the most reluctant.

With 300 or 350 hp, depending on the version, a total weight of just over 1,300 kg narrowly and tuning just perfect chassis is difficult to find weaknesses to the new two - seater. Your sheet reflects an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.7 (718 Boxster) and 4.2 seconds (718 Boxster S) and a top speed of 275 and 285 km / h respectively. But honestly, this is not important.

Yes, the new model is more powerful and more runs, but the real improvement is in its start point. The Boxster has always been a fun to wear, energetic and agile sports car driving. Now what remains, but adds a step curve simply spectacular. No hesitates, does not perform any kind of strange, and holds ... if we grab!
