The 718 nameplate is a formidable name in Porsche's rich racing heritage.
Dating back to the 1960s where it went up against some of the world's best manufacturers, the 718 became synonymous with performance on the track. In 2016 however, the 718 moniker will be revived to set a new benchmark in production car performance.
Just like the 1960s 718 racecar, the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman will also pack flat-four engines ranging from 2.0-litre to 2.5-litre displacements. Turbos will also be bolted on to ensure it can keep up with Porsche's six-cylinder brethren.
The 718 cars are expected to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year.
