Porsche 718 Boxster to hit Sri Lanka roads soon
View(s):Porsche 718 Boxster, the new mid-engine roadster with four-cylinder engines, is to hit the Sri Lanka roads. ”Eurocars (Pvt) Ltd, local agent of Porsche will be launching this sports car very soon”, Sabrina Cramer, Brand and Customer Relations Manager, told the Business Times.
Twenty years after the first Boxster made its debut, Porsche is restructuring its mid-engine roadsters. The designation for the new generation of models is 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S. The two-seat convertibles are now more powerful yet more fuel efficient, the company said in a media release.
With them, Porsche continues the tradition of the four-cylinder flat engines that were used in the Porsche 718 mid-engine sports cars that won numerous races back in the 1950s and 1960s, among them being the legendary Targa Florio and Le Mans. The new 718 Boxster models have fuel economy improvements of up to 13 per cent, the company claimed. In addition, the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a state-of-the-art touch screen is included as standard.
