Default 718 Style Editions

I wonder if these are coming to North America?

These new models will be initially offered in Europe in early 2023 with global availability to follow.

Ruby Star Neo finally added to the configurator now that this model has been introduced

Looks like I could've saved the PTS money if my allocation was 6 months later. Ah well, apparently Rubystar is darker than Rubystar Neo but we'll see! The wheels on the style edition do look pretty nice

What’s interesting is they have GT4 wheels. I wonder if they are the same specs or different. I thought the GT4 wheels weren’t recommended for non GT 718s. I have been wanting to get GT4 wheels for my Boxster.

Exclusive details set the models apart

Even if Porsche customers have their Style Edition models painted in a colour other than Ruby Star Neo, the new variants are clearly distinguishable. For example, they drive on 20-inch 718 Spyder wheels in high-gloss black, and their wheel hub covers feature coloured Porsche Crests. The Style Edition is also recognisable by its black sport tailpipes and "Porsche" lettering in high-gloss silver in the back. On the 718 Boxster Style Edition, "Boxster" lettering embossed above the side windows is added to the soft top as an exclusive label.

Looks like they're the GT4/Spyder wheels exactly

Same style, yet to be seen if it’s same width, offset, and rubber. My guess, doubtful…

In one of the stock photos, the front tire is 235/35-20 so leads me to believe the rears are 265/35-20, same as GTS. I’m thinking these will be the same size and offset as the regular GTS wheels with the GT4/Spyder look.

- Will have the 2.0 Liter motor, in a PDK or Manual

- This Style Edition will be available as a MY 2024 Boxster or Cayman

Personally, not a fan of the white wheels.

Reminds me of after market wheels on a JDM car.

I can't imagine keeping the white wheels clean looking with the stock brake pads

Sometimes I think some of these designs are intended for buyers who just garage their cars.

I think the ruby star paint with the white accents looks awesome
