While the Porsche still haven’t made a decision whether it will make stronger version of the actual 718 Cayman & Boxster, the German tuning company TechArt maybe has the answer for the impatient buyers.
Known by their excellent creations which are based on Porsche cars, the tuning company TechArt has worked on the 718 Boxster and Cayman models, which are supposed to satisfy the needs of the buyers who don’t want to wait Porsche to finally present the “hardcore” versions of the mentioned models, which they’ve announced a long time ago.
The new powerkit boosts the 2.5-liter flat-four engine to 400 hp and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque, which represents 50 hp and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) more compared to the standard models. The extra power help to reduce the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time from 4.2 seconds to 3.9 seconds. The 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) time droped by 0.5 seconds, to 14.2sec, while the top speed gets bumped up to to 296 km/h (184 mph) from 285 km/h (177 mph).
Additionally, the engine also gets a new exhaust system with two titanium central pipes that feature carbon-fibre tips. The package also includes an aerokit, which adds an extended front apron and central air outlet, curved air intake fins on their sides, a rear diffuser and a fixed rear spoiler.
Buyers can also upgrade their 718 Boxster and Cayman models with a 30 mm lowering kit and a set of 21-inch Formula IV alloy wheels, which are also available in a variety of colours depending on how you want to mix and match things.
