The 400 horses are easily added by Techart’s specialists, which in this case can achieve a significant increase in power for working on a turbocharged engine, continuing to offer the official guarantee on the various components. The 2.5 pushes hard regardless of the engine revs, I decide to sink the right foot on the throttle – it can take a fraction of a second or even less and then I throw myself into the dense woods of Renningen, which once again delights me as the most exclusive natural harmonic case in the world. Suspensions are more rigid – you feel that no matter the speed – but the Boxster’s behavior is never scorbutic and while I am comfortably seated on the sporty alcantara seats, I keep the steering wheel firmly, varying corners’ entry at each time and exploiting the total lack of traffic to forget half-measures and go full throttle In the same way, next to some harder bend, I literally throw myself on the brake pedal, sometimes even slightly unbalancing the rigid body of the 718, a simple movement on the steering wheel, and it does everything else, mumbling from the double exhaust with what is becoming the next-generation Porsche soundtrack. Like it or not, downsizing is no longer a news, and luckily brings with it many positive aspects, first of all an overall boost in performance. The ease with which the turbo-Boxster gains speed is disarming – it limits fuel consumption when it is not necessary to take advantage of all of its power (and in this case the 400hp go back to the standard 350) and allows you to drive in perfect ease.
