718 Boxster and Cayman Drive Event

718 drive day with Porsche Centre Tonbridge

31/3/2017

On Saturday 25 March, Porsche Centre Tonbridge hosted a Porsche drive out day to the Poacher and Partridge pub in Tonbridge. Guests were invited to drive the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman around the beautiful Kent countryside to fully understand the performance and handling of both models.  

Upon arrival at the stunning country pub, guests were treated to a delicious lunch before driving back to our Porsche Centre. The day was enjoyed by all and the hospitality provided by the Poacher and Partridge was excellent.

Both the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman are equipped with a 2.5-litre turbocharged horizontally opposed engine. This powerful unit delivers 350 hp at 6,500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 420 Nm. With optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Launch Control, the new 718 Boxster S accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in only 4.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 177 mph.

Autocar reviewed the 718 Boxster concluding: "It's hard to understate the importance of the Boxster, not just to Porsche but also to the way it and its peers have shaped the sports car market. The 718 Boxster’s trustworthiness and mid-engined poise transfer well to circuit driving. The car’s ability to deploy its performance has only been magnified by the engineers’ efforts to firm up the fundamentals."
