3 Impressive Aspects of the 2025 Porsche 718
Porsche has built a legacy on seamlessly transferring racetrack innovation into road-ready performance vehicles.
At Porsche Stevens Creek in Santa Clara, CA, we’re proud to showcase the 2025 Porsche 718 lineup—a bold statement in driving dynamics, engineering precision, and timeless design.
Top 3 Features of the 2025 Porsche 718
Power and Performance
The 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster offer dynamic performance across multiple trims:
The base 718 Cayman is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine producing 300 horsepower and reaching a top speed of 171 mph.
Step up to the 718 Cayman S, and you’ll find a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four delivering 350 horsepower.
The 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 boast a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, generating 394 horsepower and achieving speeds up to 179 mph.
At the pinnacle, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS are equipped with a 4.0-liter flat-six derived from the 911 GT3, producing 493 horsepower and topping out at 196 mph (with summer tires).
As a mid-engine platform, the 718 provides optimal weight distribution and a low center of gravity—ideal for agile, balanced handling. Most 718 models offer either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission, while the GT4 RS and Spyder RS are available exclusively with the PDK.
Track-Inspired Aerodynamics
Every 718 model benefits from aerodynamic design rooted in Porsche’s motorsport experience. Most models include an active rear spoiler that deploys around 75 mph to increase downforce and high-speed stability.
The GT4 RS features a fixed carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) rear wing, front air curtains, and a race-tuned underbody for maximum downforce and control. The Spyder RS, the roadster counterpart, incorporates many of these enhancements while retaining the iconic open-top Boxster design, delivering high performance with a distinct character.
While the 718 Cayman features a hardtop coupe body, the 718 Boxster comes with a power-operated fabric convertible roof. Despite minor weight differences due to the roof mechanism, both variants offer comparable performance and chassis tuning.
Porsche Communication Management System
Inside, the 2025 Porsche 718 features the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, a centrally mounted touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay integration. It’s designed for intuitive control over media, navigation, and vehicle settings.
Owners can stay connected via the My Porsche App, which allows remote monitoring of key vehicle metrics such as fuel levels, oil status, tire pressures, and battery life. The app also offers features like vehicle tracking, remote services, and roadside assistance access.
Whether you’re carving through mountain roads or heading to the track, the 2025 Porsche 718 delivers the soul of a race car with the usability of a daily driver.
