保时捷将于明年发布718 Boxster和Cayman两款车型，而新车趣图最近曝光。保时捷已经证实，新的入门级车型将搭载车厂新开发的四缸水平对置涡轮增压汽油引擎。先前有报道称，新车将可提供两种引擎，其中2.0升引擎功率179千瓦/240马力；另一台2.5升引擎在Boxster和Cayman S上的功率为224千瓦/300马力，而在GTS版本上的功率则提升至276千瓦/370马力。不过在外观设计上，新车相对于老款车的变化则非常细微，仍是典型的保时捷范儿。718将首先在明年1月或2月在线发布，随后在明年日内瓦车展首次亮相，目前还不清楚新车价格，但保时捷表示718Boxster售价将超过718 Cayman。

 

Porsche 718 new teaser released, coming early 2016

Porsche has dropped another teaser for the 718 Boxster & Cayman duo and this time we have an approximate reveal date: early 2016.

 

More importantly, Porsche has reconfirmed its overhauled entry-level models will be powered by newly developed flat-four turbocharged gasoline engines developed in-house. Aside from adopting “highly efficient” motors, the Boxster and Cayman will also get the “718” prefix as a connection to the original 1957 718.

 

Official technical specifications concerning the new array of turbo motors are not available at this point, but a report from July indicated the existence of two engines. The first one has a 2.0-liter displacement and will pump out 240 hp (179 kW) in the base model. As for the other one, it's a larger 2.5-liter with 300 hp (224 kW) in the Boxster & Cayman S and 370 hp (276 kW) in the hotter GTS.

 

In terms of design, the numerous spy images with both the Boxster and Cayman have revealed the styling changes will be on a very subtle level, in typical Porsche fashion.

 

A public debut will likely take place at the Geneva Motor Show in March, following an online reveal in January or February. There’s no word about pricing just yet, but Porsche says the Boxster will cost more than the Cayman.
