Discover the 2025 Porsche 718
The 2025 Porsche 718 is here, but not for much longer. Here are our top favorite features of this legendary sports car and how you can take the 718 out for a test drive at your local Porsche Center.
7 Reasons the 2025 Porsche 718 Is a Joy to Drive
1. Smooth, 7-Speed Automatic Transmission
The 7-speed automatic transmission now comes standard on the Porsche 718, which provides a super-smooth and high-octane experience for drivers. If you prefer to use a manual transmission, the traditional 6-speed option is still available.
2. 300-HP Turbocharged 2.0 Liter Engine
Sports cars are made to be driven fast, and the 718 is no slouch with its 300-horsepower, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. This lets drivers reach 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest vehicles in its class. When equipped with summer tires on its 18-inch wheels, this model can reach top track speeds of 171 mph.
3. Convenience and Comfort
The Porsche 718 offers several more details that give drivers a convenient and comfortable ride. This includes:
- A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 8-speaker standard audio system
- Optional Bose 10-speaker system
- Integrated Apple CarPlay
- Remote keyless entry
4. MacPherson Strut Suspension System
While many suspension designs exist, Porsche has been known to use the iconic MacPherson system to create a smooth, bump-free ride. The strut assembly is lightweight and straightforward, taking up significantly less room than a double wishbone suspension setup. You can also choose the optional PASM sport chassis, which lowers the vehicle’s body by 10 mm and puts it closer to the ground for a more dynamic drive.
5. Classic Safety Features
The 718 also provides traditional safety features to enhance protection without impacting your experience on the road. Drivers have access to front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and rain-sensing windshield wipers that turn on automatically.
6. Lots of Cargo Space
Like many sports cars in its class, the 718 features a classic, 2-seat design for the driver and one passenger. It also offers a good amount of storage space for luggage, with 14.9 total cubic feet of space between the front and back trunks.
7. Luxury Interior
Porsches are known for their high-quality vehicle interiors. The 718 offers plenty of luxury features, like:
- Raised center console
- Multi-level heated Sport Seats
- Dual-zone climate control
- Lightweight sport steering wheel
- Instrument cluster with 4.6-inch color screen
- Leather upholstery
