    Porsche 718 Range Gains Boxster T and Cayman T

    The Porsche 718 Boxster T and Cayman T were spied testing very recently which usually means a reveal was imminent but we did not expect it to happen this year. Alas here we are with the latest iteration for the mid-engine 718 twins today. Say hello to the Boxster T and Cayman T.

    Basically The T moniker fills up a ‘gap’ between the standard and S models, not unlike the 911 T we sampled earlier this year. Power holds steady at 300 hp (224 kW) from the base 2.0-litre turbocharged four, as does the choice between a six-speed manual or the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

    The T adds the more aggressive PASM sports chassis option that drops the car nearly a full inch which is an option not available on the regular models. It also adds the Sport Chrono package and Porsche Torque Vectoring rear differential as standard equipment, and there’s a shortened gear lever for manual-equipped cars.

    A reduced number of options in the cabin gives you a more purist driving experience and if you want to go the extreme, you can delete the console-mount infotainment system completely which will swap the screen for some storage space. Door handles become fabric loops to pull. The sport seats are electric but offer just two-way adjustability. Unfortunately, these weight-saving measures are offset by the addition of a gasoline particulate filter, so overall weight and straight-line performance are unchanged.

    Cosmetically, the new T twins ride on 20-inch wheels painted a high-gloss titanium gray. A tweaked dual-oval rear exhaust helps identify the upgraded model in the back, should you happen to miss the T badging. Gray mirror shells and additional badging help identify the model from the sides and front, and Porsche will also offer two special colors: Lava Orange and Miami Blue.

    Inside you will notice more branding on the instrument dials and door strips. Gloss black finish is applied to the dash, and 718 stitching adorns the seat headrests.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
