Bold and fresh

Porsche Brunei is introducing the bold 718 Style Edition models, characterised by fresh colours and harmonious contrast packages.

The Boxster and Cayman models have always stood for the perfect combination of driving pleasure and everyday practicality, but with the Style Edition, Porsche Brunei provides an exclusive offering for those seeking to make a statement.

“The Porsche 718 Style Edition redefines driving pleasure by merging dynamic performance with striking design. It encapsulates the essence of individuality and luxury, allowing Porsche enthusiasts to celebrate heritage and modernity together,” said General Manager of Porsche Brunei Lahiru De Silva.

With design being one of the defining features of the Style Edition, it is particularly appropriate that the exterior of the car is available in a striking Ruby Star Neo, a modern interpretation of the Rubystone Red or “Sternrubin” shade first seen on the legendary 964 generation Porsche 911 Carrera RS.

Even if Porsche customers have their Style Edition models painted in a colour other than Ruby Star Neo, the new variants are distinguishable. For example, 20-inch 718 Spyder wheels in high-gloss black, and wheel hub covers feature coloured Porsche Crests.

The Style Edition is also recognisable by its black sport tailpipes and “Porsche” lettering in high-gloss silver in the back. On the 718 Boxster Style Edition, “Boxster” lettering embossed above the side windows is added to the soft top as an exclusive label.

Customers can choose between two 718 Style Edition contrast packages at no extra charge: one in black, the other in white.

Both include decorative stripes on the luggage compartment lid at the front and “Porsche” decorative lettering on the side, as well as black and white high-gloss paint finishes for the wheels and model designations at the rear, respectively.

Inside, the Style Edition models feature a leather package in black including contrast stitching in chalk, illuminated door sill panels in stainless steel and the Porsche Crest on the headrests.

The 718 Style Edition models are well equipped: Bi-Xenon main headlights with LED daytime running lights, Park Assist front and rear including rearview camera, Apple® CarPlay, cruise control, automatically dimming exterior and interior mirrors including rain sensor, heated smooth leather multifunction steering wheel, heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, floor mats with contrast stitching in chalk, leather upholstery in black with contrast stitching in chalk and Power Steering Plus are all on board as standard.

Both models can also be further upgraded with a wide range of options. In terms of powertrain and chassis, the Style Edition models do not differ from one another.

Both are based on the entry-level versions of the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman with the 220 kW (300 PS) two-litre boxer engine located directly behind the driver.

The turbocharged four-cylinder generates 380 Newton metres of torque and takes the Style Edition models, which are manually shifted through six gears as standard, from zero to 100 kilometres per hour (km/h) in 5.1 seconds (with optional seven-speed PDK: 4.7 seconds).

Regardless of the transmission, both reach a top speed of 275km/h.

The 718 Style Edition models mark the latest addition to Porsche Brunei’s list of highlights in its 25th anniversary year.

Following the launch of the flagship 911 GT3 RS at the Porsche Brunei 25th Anniversary Gala event on July 29, the introduction of these dynamic models emphasises the brand’s efforts to bring even more sports car dreams to life in the Sultanate.
