Riding in Style: 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster

Porsche never seems to disappoint, especially not with the brand new 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster. Equipped with a 4-cylinder turbo 2.0-liter engine and a 6 speed manual transmission, this Porsche packs a lot of power. When you are behind the wheel of this beauty, you will be able to experience the 300 horsepower and 280 pound-foot torque. Maybe even test out for yourself if the 0-62mph time is really just 5.1 seconds.

Along with its speed and power, when driving the Boxster, you’ll notice its excellent handling. As for aesthetics, there is an option to feature a high gloss black colored spoiler in the back of the vehicle, making the rear of the car really stand out. The stitching in the interior has also changed and includes high contrast colors, making this feature one of the Porsche’s “wow” factors. You will truly be riding in style when it comes to the Porsche 718 Boxster.

If you are one to take road trips with your newest sportscar like the Porsche 718 Boxster, cargo space will not be a problem. This model has cargo space both in the front and rear. Other great features of this car which you can find at THE COLLECTION in Miami are its 18-inch alloy wheels, parking camera and sensors and its comfortable sport seats.

Volcanic Porsche

The Porsche Macan can be found on the roadways and in the driveways of Porsche enthusiasts all over the country. This vehicle quickly became one of Porsche’s best-selling from the start. Now, the 2018 Porsche Macan is at THE COLLECTION. One of our favorite models, this particular crossover can be found in the sophisticated Volcano Grey Metallic finish–and slide blades painted Lava Black.

The engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4 with 252 horsepower at 5,000-6,800RPM. The exterior is fully galvanized with an integrated frame and four door side impact protection to help keep you safe, even when hitting high speeds. Another feature of the interior of this machine is the climate control system. The air filters are made with active carbon so that you can breathe easily even with pollen in the air outside.

Porsche is an Exclusive Manufaktur Partner of THE COLLECTION Miami dealership. To celebrate their partnership, THE COLLECTION coordinated an Exclusive Manufaktur Event where they welcomed Porsche enthusiasts to experience the new Porsche 911 Turbo.

Porsche Cayenne’s European Affair

Porsche’s third generation Cayenne is set to come out in 2019 as a 2018 model–but only in the US. Europe will see it first. The current 2017 model will carry over through 2018 in the states. Porsche unveiled the 2019 model in Frankfurt which revealed a higher price point and less supply. In light of the Volkswagen diesel engine scandal, Porsche will not be releasing the diesel model in the United States.

Porsche said it will be phasing out the Cayenne, with the Macan model coming out on top for many car Porsche lovers. The new 2019 model will feature smaller, lighter engines packed with even more power. For a mid-sized crossover, it shows some impressive stats. It has a 3.0-liter single-turbo V-6 engine with 340 horsepower–up from 300 in the current model. It has a 0-60 record of 5.9 seconds, which is a huge improvement from 7.3 in the previous model.

So how did they make all of these improvements? The Cayenne will be made almost entirely of aluminum, which saved 143 pounds. Additionally, the lithium ion polymer battery is 22 pounds lighter. New suspension features take advantage of this weight savings.

Doctors Hospital “ThunderBall” Gala

One of the biggest galas of the season — the Doctors Hospital “ThunderBall” Gala — took place last month. Ugo Colombo’s THE COLLECTION was proud to be a sponsor again this year and they provided the event with a multitude of Porsche displays which included the Macan Turbo, Porsche Boxster GTS, Panamera S E-Hybrid, Cayenne Turbo, Carrera 4 GTS Coupe and the 911 GTS.

The fourth annual Doctors Hospital Gala event followed the legendary James Bond: 007 theme and inside the FIU Arena, the Porsche 911 Turbo was on display and in full theme as it featured the iconic “ThunderBall” logo on the hood.

The evening featured a live performance by Grammy-winning artist Sheena Easton. The Scottish-born pop is best known for hits “Modern Girl” and “Nine to Five.” Easton is also applauded for Academy Award-nominated James Bond movie theme for “For Your Eyes Only” — which was fitting for the night’s James Bond theme.
