Porsche brought important developments in the new generation of the Boxster. A change of philosophy in its thrusters well deserves also a change in their denomination. That’s why the Boxster became 718 Boxster as soon as it arrived the downsizing: smaller engines, less cylinders, more powerful and efficient.
Now the guys from Motorsport Magazine have not hesitated to show us a video in which face to both generations of the Boxter S in a duel of acceleration up to 250 km/h.
Both sports are very different especially in its interior: The classic Boxster S 981 has an engine of six cylinders while on the other hand we have the 718 Boxster with a new block of four cylinders with turbo of higher power. Let’s look at their technical differences:
| Porsche Boxster S (918) | Porsche 718 Boxster S | |
|---|---|---|
| Motor | 6 cylinders | 4 cylinders |
| Cubicaje | of 3,436 cm3 | 2.497 cm3 |
| Horsepower (HP) | 315 | 350 |
| maximum Torque (Nm) | 360 | 420 |
| Weight (Kg) | 1.320 | 1.355 |
The result I guess you will not surprise you due to the natural evolution of the model and the figures in the table top but I assure you that you will enjoy for every second that the video’s duration.
After seeing it I already have my clear preference. what about you which you prefer?
