Porsche India Launch GTS Variants of Boxter and Cayman

Porsche has introduced its Grand Turismo (GTS) range in India with the launch of the Boxter GTS and the Cayman GTS. The performance variants of the Boxter roadster and Cayman coupe are priced at INR 11.29 million and INR 11.15 million respectively (ex-showroom Mumbai).
The cars were first exhibited at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show and will appeal to the handful of driving enthusiasts in India ready to splurge big for a rewarding ownership.
Both the cars are powered by a 3.4 liter-flat-six engine – the same engine present in the regular variants. However, the engine has been more finely tuned so that it produces greater power and torque. The Boxter GTS produces 300 hp, while the Cayman GTS can notch up to 340 hp of power. This is an increment of 15 hp for both the cars from their regular variants. The torque in the two has been increased by 10 Nm. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels of the cars by a 7-speed automatic Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission.

Both, the Cayman GTS and the Boxter GTS come with Porshe Torque Vectoring (PTV) feature, Porsche Sport Chromo Package and modified rear and front ends. The blacked out bi-xenon lights give a touch of elegance while the black gloss lettering on the exterior of the two cars is described as an “unmistakable feature”.

These two new Porsche sports cars excel visually and dynamically, and assure a rewarding ownership and driving experience.”
