German sport car maker Porsche is extending the GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) principle to the Boxster and Cayman in India. These mid-engine sports models from Porsche feature uprated engines and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) chassis.
The six-cylinder boxer engines fitted are based on the 3.4-litre units
from Boxster S and Cayman S. Thanks to fine-tuning, they deliver an
additional 15 hp: the Boxster GTS now has an output of 330 hp, while the
Cayman GTS delivers 340 hp.
Torque increases by 10 newton metres in each model. Additionally, the
Sport Chrono package is standard. In conjunction with the standard
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) gearbox and Sport Plus mode, this
translates into sprints from 0-100 km/hr in 4.7 seconds for the Boxster
GTS, with the Cayman GTS a tenth of a second faster.
The Boxster GTS’s top speed is 279 km/hr, while the Cayman GTS is even
faster at 283 km/hr. The new top models achieve an overall fuel
consumption of 8.2 l/100 km, according to the New European Driving
Cycle.
Anil Reddi, Director, Porsche India, says: “With the introduction of
the GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, we are catering to Porsche
purists and true sports car enthusiasts in the country. These two new
Porsche sports cars excel visually and dynamically, and assure a
rewarding ownership and driving experience.”
The Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS feature PASM as standard which offers
the driver a choice of sportier or more comfortable settings at the
press of a button.
The distinctive front and modified rear end, blackened bi-xenon
headlights – with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) – and tail lights
as well as silky black gloss exterior lettering are subtle features of
these new models.
The new Boxster and Cayman GTS models are available for order at
Porsche dealerships across India. The Boxster GTS (Maharashtra) is
priced at Rs 11,290,000 while the Cayman GTS (Maharashtra) is priced at
Rs 11,536,000.
