Porsche World Roadshow 2016 in Malaysia

Sepang. Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the official importer of Porsche vehicles in Malaysia, is hosting the Porsche World Roadshow 2016 at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 15th to 21st July 2016. More than 280 participants across Asia will be provided with a unique Porsche driving experience.

The Porsche World Roadshow (PWRS) is a long established professional driving event that has been held in over 45 countries around the world. Attracting more than 42,000 potential customers and car enthusiasts, the PWRS provides an ideal platform to experience the sensation of driving the complete Porsche model range.

The program is led by professional Porsche certified instructors. Under their guidance, participants are not only able to enjoy the thrill of driving a Porsche at the Sepang International Circuit; they also get the opportunity to enhance their driving skills. The PWRS programme includes braking, slalom, vehicle handling and an off-road experience, all in just one day.

In conjunction with the PWRS held in Sepang, participants will be privileged to be among the very first to preview and experience the new mid-engine roadster – the 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S, which are being showcased ahead of its official launch in Malaysia. The new 718 Boxster models are equipped with newly developed turbo flat-four engines with improved performance and considerably reduced the fuel consumption.

The PWRS offers a wide range of Porsche models for participants to experience in different sections. These include 22 of the latest Porsche cars ranging from the latest 911 models, the new mid-engine 718 Boxster models and Cayman; and the sports car for four – the Panamera as well as sports cars among the SUVs – the Macan and Cayenne models.

About the new 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S
The two-seat convertibles are now more powerful yet more fuel-efficient. With them, Porsche continues the tradition of the four-cylinder flat engines that were used in the Porsche 718 mid-engine sports cars that won numerous races back in the 1950s and 1960s. Among them being the legendary Targa Florio and Le Mans.

The centrepiece of the new model series is the newly developed four-cylinder flat engine with turbocharging. The 718 Boxster develops 220 kW (300 hp) of power from two litres of engine displacement, while the 718 Boxster S attains 257 kW (350 hp) from 2.5 litres of displacement. In the S-model, Porsche also uses a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. In fact Porsche is now the only manufacturer to offer VTG technology in production cars with petrol-driven engines, both in the 911 Turbo and in the 718 Boxster S. Impressive here is the considerable power gain of 26 kW (35 hp) compared to the previous Boxster models and the efficiency of the new turbo engines. The new 718 Boxster models have fuel economy improvements of up to 13 per cent.

Thus, the new 718 Boxster models sprint even faster. The 718 Boxster – with PDK and the Sport Chrono Package – sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds (0.8 seconds faster). The 718 Boxster S with the same equipment completes this discipline in 4.2 seconds (0.6 seconds faster). The top speed of the 718 Boxster is 275 km/h, and the 718 Boxster S has a top speed of 285 km/h.

The Porsche turbo concept is boosting driving performance while improving fuel economy. In the 718 Boxster, the four-cylinder flat engine with PDK has a NEDC fuel consumption figure of 6.9 l/100 km (1.0 l/100 km less). In the 718 Boxster S, the 2.5-litre turbo flat engine with PDK consumes just 7.3 l/100 km (0.9 l/100 km less).

The 718 model line can be made out at first glance. The front end of the new roadster exhibits a much more sculptural form. The front has a wider and more masculine appearance. The much larger cooling air intakes at the front are a distinct exterior expression of the new turbo engine concept. The front end of the 718 Boxster is rounded out by the new design of the bi-xenon headlights with integrated LED day-time running lights. LED headlights with four-point daytime running lights are available as a new option.

From a side view, identifying features of the new model line include new, independently styled wings and side sills. Larger air inlet panels with two fins emphasis the car's dynamic look. The doors are now designed without door handle recess covers.

The redesigned rear body of the 718 Boxster has a much wider look – especially due to the accent strip with integrated Porsche badge between the tail lights. The entirely redeveloped tail lights are distinguished by their three-dimensional LED technology and four-point brake lights.
