Porsche has one of the most extensive customization programs in the industry for its entire lineup but that hasn’t stopped the German company from introducing its own packaged customizations in the form of special editions. The new Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman Style Editions that feature vibrant colors and select interior and exterior touches ill initially be available in Europe before becoming available in overseas markets at a later date including North America as 2024MYs.
All 718 Boxster Style Edition and 718 Cayman Style Edition models are fitted as standard with 20-inch high-gloss black wheels with colored Porsche crests. Porsche has also equipped the two Style Edition models with Sport tailpipes finished in black while also applying a ‘PORSCHE’ script on the rear in high-gloss silver.
The two models also come loaded with standard features, including bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System with integrated 4-point LED daytime running lights, a sport exhaust, rear-view camera, ParkAssist front and rear, automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors, and two-zone automatic climate control.
Porsche also offers the two Style Edition models in a new color dubbed Ruby Star Neo, a modern interpretation of the Ruby Star first used on the 964 Carrera RS.
Found in the cabins of the models are heated front seats, a heated and leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, floor mats with contrasting Chalk stitching, a black leather interior with Chalk stitching, headrests embossed with the Porsche rest, and illuminated stainless steel door sill guards as standard.
Customers can opt for one of two contract packages, one in black and one in white that include decorative stripes on the hood and Porsche logos on the side. The aforementioned wheels can also be painted white.
Both models are based on the standard 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman and have a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumping out 300 hp and 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) of torque. Models equipped with the six-speed manual can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds while those with the optional seven-speed PDK and Sport Chrono package reach the same mark in 4.5 seconds.
In America, Porsche told us that the 718 Style Editions will be marketed as 2024MYs with sales to begin in the summer of next year. Information about U.S. pricing will be announced at a later date.
