    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.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
