It is the return of the range-topping Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder for the Porsche 718 series of mid-engined sports cars, and according to Porsche, both top iterations of the Cayman and Boxster now share a technical base. For starters, both are powered by a 4.0 litre naturally-aspirated engine producing 420 PS at 7,600 rpm and 420 Nm of torque between 5,000 rpm and 6,800 rpm. Drive is sent to the rear wheels exclusively via a six-speed manual transmission, and the rear axle includes a limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). These outputs are 5 PS/5 Nm less than the track-going 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport鈥榮. Thus equipped, the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder both do the 0-100 km/h acceleration benchmark in 4.4 seconds, from a standstill to 160 km/h in 9.0 seconds and to 200 km/h in 13.8 seconds. Top speed for the Cayman in 304 km/h, while the Boxster attains a maximum of 301 km/h. In both the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder, fuel consumption is rated at 10.9 l/100 km, with CO2 emissions at 249 g/km.
The naturally aspirated powerplant features adaptive cylinder control, which cuts fuelling to one of the two cylinder banks on partial load for reduced fuel consumption, while a gasoline particulate filter takes care of further emissions. Secondly, Preuninger told the magazine that the GT3 engine does not react very well to power reduction. 鈥?A detuned version does not make sense, especially considering the packaging constraints,鈥?he said. Meanwhile, the next consideration was cost; using a GT3 engine would have pushed prices even further upwards, he added. Meanwhile, its rear wing produces 20% more downforce than its predecessor, translating to an additional 12 kg of downforce at 200 km/h. This is balanced at the front end with a large front spoiler lip, while airflow along the front wheels is calmed by air curtains. As for the 718 Boxster Spyder, the rear spoiler is a movable item which deploys at 120 km/h, and with its functional diffuser, is the first Boxster to generate downforce at the rear axle, says Porsche. Both the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder feature aluminium monobloc fixed caliper brakes, with PCCB ceramic composite brakes optionally available. The top Boxster now also gets 鈥榮pecially adapted鈥?ultra-high performance tyres which are also used by the Cayman GT4, which add up to a 10-second quicker laptime around the Nurburgring Nordschleife for the coupe compared to its predecessor. The 718 Cayman GT4 can also be optionally specified with the Clubsport pack, which includes a steel roll bar, a hand-held fire extinguisher and a six-point seat belt for the driver. The 718 Boxster Spyder uses a manually-fitted roof mechanism for weight savings, and the lightweight convertible top 鈥榗an cope with top speeds鈥? says Porsche.
The Taycan will have an approximately 90-kilowatt-hour battery, with 400 cells. Using a 350-kilowatt charging station, Porsche says it can add 62 miles of range in four minutes. 2 billion over 10 years, said it will be able to supply an interconnected network of about 12,500 chargers. Porsche is also looking at wireless charging鈥攙ia a floor-mounted plate鈥攆or the Taycan. 6.8 billion in going electric by 2022鈥攄ouble its original estimate. 573 million will go to developing variations on the Taycan. 229,000, Lutz Meschke, Porsche鈥檚 chief financial officer, told Automotive News Europe. 1.14 billion will go to electrify and hybridize the existing product line. 800 million will be spent on such technologies as charging infrastructure and smart mobility. In the Volkswagen Group鈥檚 electric plans, Porsche鈥檚 Taycan complements the Audi e-tron, a luxury battery SUV that arrives next year; and, from VW itself, the I.D. CROZZ (a crossover SUV, due out in 2020), and I.D. BUZZ (a reinterpretation of the Microbus, aimed at 2022). Both VWs will be built in the U.S.

The all-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class lineup is complete with the addition of the 鈥渆ntry-level鈥?G 350 d diesel variant. Available since June with two V8 gasoline powertrains (the G500 and Mercedes-AMG G63), the new G-Class finally gets a diesel engine that will be both the cheapest and most economical variant in the current lineup. The G350d uses the new OM 656 straight-six turbo diesel engine with a displacement of 2.9 liters that delivers 286 PS at 3,400-4,600 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 1,200-3,200 rpm. Linked to the 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission, the Euro 6d-TEMP-compliant six-cylinder diesel averages 9.8-9.6 liters/100 km (28.8-29.4 mpg UK) and 259-252 g/km CO2 鈥?according to NEDC. That makes it the most fuel-efficient G-Class of all time, thanks in part to the gliding function available in Eco mode. It鈥檚 also the most powerful diesel-equipped G-Class ever. The peak torque, for example, is almost the same as that of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in the G500. Mercedes-Benz says the new engine will set new standards in the G-Class as far as performance is concerned, both on and off the road.
