Porsche India, has already started with the homologation process for the latter, it recently imported the 718 Cayman to India for the same purpose. Both the cars will likely be launched in India this fiscal year itself, but we still await an official word on it.
The original Porsche 718 was a ground-breaking open-top sports car produced in 1957, which topped its class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans held in 1958 and 1961. Historically, the original 718 brought the company a lot of success in the world of motorsport. The car was based on the Porsche 550A Spyder albeit with an improved suspension setup and updated bodywork. That being said, the new-gen Cayman and Boxster models will more or less remain the same with the only key similarity between these two generations of 718 being the badging and a similar flat-four engine setup as was seen on the original 718.
