Porsche has commenced the pre-bookings for these upcoming entry-level sport cars while the deliveries of the models are expected to begin by November this year.
Available in two variants - Standard and S, the next generation 718 Cayman and Boxster will come with some ample features standard across all variants, unlike the last generation models which came with a small package of standard features.

The new powertrain delivers a maximum power output of 300 hp with the combination of 380 Nm peak torque.
