Toronto -- Porsche is adding two distinctly sporty and high specification models to its mid-engine sports car range: the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. A naturally aspirated four-litre six- cylinder boxer engine developing 394 horsepower and 309 lb.-ft. of torque, powers the new mid-engine sports cars. This engine is closely related to the 414 horsepower variant used in the 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4. Equipped exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and standard Sport Exhaust System, the 718 GTS 4.0 models offer exceptional throttle response and a particularly rewarding driving experience. Both can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reach a top track speed of 293 km/h. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) sport suspension with a 20 millimetre lower ride height compared to standard 718 Boxster and Cayman models is standard, as is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical limited-slip differential. As a result, the new 718 GTS 4.0 balances nimble handling and ride comfort exceptionally well. The standard Sport Chrono package with upgraded Porsche Track Precision App also underscores the driving enthusiast-oriented character of the mid-engine sports cars. Black contrasting design elements and a dark Alcantara® interior are highlights typical of GTS models.
Toronto--With the 718 T, Porsche has transferred the design purity of the 1968 911 T to its range of two- seater sports cars. The new model in the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman ranges combines the 300 HP turbo four-cylinder flat engine with a particularly emotional Porsche driving experience. The high- performance character of the T models is emphasized by an extensive equipment package, which includes 20-inch alloy wheels, the PASM sports chassis lowered by 20 millimetres –offered in combination with the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine for the first time in this range – the shortened gearshift, on which the gears are emblazoned in red, and the Sport Chrono package.
Toronto--Porsche is announcing the availability of a seven-speed manual transmission for the 2020 911 Carrera S and 4S Coupe and Cabriolet models. At no additional charge, customers can select this option as an alternative to the standard 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. The seven-speed manual comes paired with a standard Sport Chrono Package. This package includes Dynamic Drivetrain Mounts, PSM Sport Mode, a rev-match function and the mode switch on the steering wheel, which allows the driver to select between Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and the customizable “Individual” mode. As on the previous generation 911 Carrera S and 4S models, the manual transmission versions come with a standard mechanical limited-slip differential including Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), replacing the fully variable, electronically controlled limited slip differential that is standard on the models equipped with PDK.

Toronto. Following the unveiling of the 2019 911 Speedster yesterday, Porsche introduced the optional Heritage Design Package for the limited production sports car at the New York International Auto Show. Developed by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur using the highest levels of craftsmanship, the Heritage Design Package links back to the roots of Porsche with numerous classic-inspired styling and design elements.
Toronto. -- Porsche is extending its Cayenne family. An even sportier vehicle has been added to the third generation of this highly successful SUV range – the Cayenne Coupé. “The Coupé includes all the technical highlights of the current Cayenne, but has an even more dynamic design and new technical details that position it as more progressive, athletic, and emotional,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. The highlights of the new Cayenne model include sharper lines with a unique rear section, an adaptive rear spoiler, individual rear seats, and two different roof concepts – a standard panoramic fixed glass roof, and an optional carbon roof.
Porsche chose this year's Montreal International Auto Show as the venue to present, for the first time in Canada, the new 2019 Macan, 2019 Cayenne Turbo, as well as the 2020 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S models which celebrated their world premiere in Los Angeles less than two months ago.
Toronto. Sensation in Los Angeles: the Porsche 911 is now entering the eighth generation. The new 911 celebrated its world premiere on the eve of the L.A. Auto Show. It continues to set the standard when it comes to exclusive sportiness.
Toronto-- With the Porsche Macan Turbo Exclusive Performance Edition, Porsche is introducing a particularly elegant version in the Macan line-up. The Edition model is based on the Macan Turbo with Performance Package, which features a 3.6-litre V6 turbo engine capable of producing 440 hp. Exclusive exterior and interior design features underline the highly sporty character of the most powerful derivative in the model line. The sports car amongst SUVs is carefully finished by hand in the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur department at the Leipzig production site.
MISSISSAUGA – Porsche today unveiled the Panamera GTS, the purest expression of a four-door sports car in the Porsche family, at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on the Panamera 4S, the Panamera GTS focuses on performance and includes more power, upgraded brakes and a lowered, sportier suspension, making it even more capable on the race track without sacrificing practicality.
The Panamera GTS conveys its extra capability with distinctive design features such as bi-xenon headlights with black inner bezels, high-gloss black window trim, black side skirts, black lower rear fascia and matte black tailpipes. With large air intakes, the SportDesign front bumper emphasizes the vehicle’s sportiness and ensures an optimal air supply. At the rear, the adaptive four-way rear spoiler from the Panamera Turbo positions itself to generate downforce at high speeds. Optional Carmine Red paint, available exclusively for the Panamera GTS, emphasizes the vehicle’s sportiness and provides an ideal contrast with the black exterior accessories.
MISSISSAUGA – For racing customers all over the world, the Porsche 911 GT3 R is extremely popular for its speed and its forgiving handling. It is exactly these characteristics that have been targeted for improvements in the 2012 model year.
Engine output has increased by 20 hp, now totaling 500 hp. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel ensure gear changes are even quicker and simpler, making it easier for racers to concentrate on braking. Moreover, the transmission electronics, featuring an automatic throttle blip control, make it almost impossible to miss a gear and over-rev the engine. A softer anti-roll bar on the front axle reduces understeer.
The power increase of the rear-mounted 4.0-litre flat-six was achieved through optimizing the intake system. The gearing of the sequential six-speed dog-type gearbox was adapted to the higher maximum output. In order to bring the power to the tarmac safely and to assist race drivers, the 911 GT3 R has featured a sophisticated traction control system, standard since the 2010 model year. An efficient race-tuned ABS assists braking.
