Late last year, Porsche announced the reintroduction of the 718 nameplate in homage to the open-cockpit racing car built by the German manufacturer in the late 1950s. Now that production of the 718 is well underway, Porsche ups the ante with the Exclusive treatment.
Those who aren’t acquainted with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, I am much obliged to tell you that Exclusive Manufaktur is a division specialized in bespoke customizations such as the Panamera Exclusive. According to the automaker, the name of the game here is “whatever you envisage.” The cars featured in the pic above are just two examples of what this branch is able to do.
The Porsche 718 Boxster S in Racing Yellow by Exclusive Manufaktur is a bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful case in point. Starting with the Sport Design package with high-gloss black-painted elements, the 718 Boxster S also boasts black Carrera Sport wheels, as well as a sports exhaust system with black tailpipes. Speaking of the darkest of the four primary colors, the model designation on the rear is also finished in black.
For all intents of purposes, this two-seat roadster looks the business and oozes sportiness. The Porsche 718 Cayman S in Carrara White Metallic by Exclusive Manufaktur, however, isn’t the overfriendly, shouty type. The paint job is alright, the front bumper is alright, the headlight washers are painted in the exterior color, everything is beautifully simple about this car.
For those people who have more money than common sense, Porsche will gladly sell your floor mats in carbon with leather edging. Just tick the carbon interior package ($1,810) from the options list if you really want to stand out in the crowd. Mind you, this type of floor mat will be all scuffed up in a couple of months if you plan to use the car as a daily driver.
As a brief reminder, both models are motivated by a 2.5-liter force-fed engine.
