Porsche has officially unveiled the latest models in its Cayman and Boxster ranges. The new 718 T models are designed for winding country roads, with the “T” usually standing for “Touring.” Both models feature the same power — 295 horsepower and 285 pound-feet of torque — as the base level Cayman and Boxster, complete with new features to maximise that output.
New equipment include the GT sport steering wheel, new suspension management that lowers the body by 20m, and Porsche Torque Vectoring technology. Interior features include two-way electric seats, back door pulls and red gear lettering. Both models will be available in four standard colors, three metallic hues and two special edition versions — “Lava Orange” and “Miami Blue.”
A team of apprentices at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing in Bavaria have restored the only surviving BMW 1600 GT Convertible. The model was crafted by Italian body designer Pietro Frua back in 1967 on behalf of the company. Only two prototypes were ever made and one of the vehicles was critically damaged during a test drive and henceforth demolished. The other went to Herbert Quandt, a major shareholder of BMW at the time. The restoration project took several years to complete and now holds a place at the BMW Group Classic vehicle collection.
The unique four-seater features a red leather interior and silver body and was restored with a 77 kW/105 hp engine from the BMW 1600 TI, kidney grille on the front and round headlights from the 02 series.
