The Porsche 718 Boxster<\/a> was revealed to the world just days ago and now, the brand has released a set of videos for the revamped roadster. While we know that the new name draws upon the mid-engined, four-cylinder Porsche 718s of yesteryear<\/a>, but how do you illustrate that importance? Well, a couple of videos should address that question.<\/p>\n

In essence, the 718 moniker dates back to the year 1957, when turbocharged flat-four engines won the brand many races – including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Targa Florio. The glory years of the Porsche 718s continued on into the 1960s and that\u2019s how it all came about. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Of course, the biggest change would be the swapping of the naturally-aspirated flat-six mills<\/a> to turbocharged four-cylinder units. In the new 718 Boxster sits a turbocharged 2.0 litre flat-four mill that makes 300 hp and 380 Nm. The 718 Boxster S, gets a turbocharged 2.5 litre flat-four that produces 350 hp and 420 Nm. Top speed is 275 km\/h for the Boxster and 285 km\/h for the S.<\/p>\n

Both engines are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, while a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission can be had as an optional extra. Also detailed in the video, the Boxster with with the PDK and launch control (Sport Chrono package) does 0-100 km\/h in 4.7 seconds, 0.8 seconds faster than before. The Boxster S with the same mechanical items does it in 4.2 seconds (0.6 seconds faster).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
