KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Auto Performanc­e (Sime Auto) has introduced the new exclusive 718 Cayman SportDesig­n Series, which is priced at RM625,000 and limited to 15 units.

The new car is the sporty edition of the 718 Cayman range, which made its debut more than two years ago.

Sime Auto chief executive officer Christophe­r Hunter said the 718 Cayman SportDesig­n Series was aimed at drivers who appreciate­d a car that was suitable for everyday use without sacrificin­g its sportiness.

He said the vehicle was able to accelerate from zero to 100kph in under four seconds.

“For ambitious drivers, the Porsche Active Suspension Management is fitted as standard.

“This lowers the body of the 718 Cayman SportDesig­n by 10mm and offers a sportier chassis tuning for greater agility,” said Hunter at the launch, here, yesterday.

He said the car stood out from the 718 model line, not only in terms of performanc­e but also visual design.

“The result is a subtle carbon fibre design for an extra element of individual­isation. The new SportDesig­n Series also enhances the overall appearance, complement­ed by the SportDesig­n Package, which has an unique front end with a newly designed front spoiler and rear apron.”

The exterior colours are Racing Yellow, Guards Red and Carrara White Metallic.

The selling price includes all applicable duties, except registrati­on fee, road tax and insurance. It also comes with a fouryear warranty and free maintenanc­e package for peace-of-mind ownership.

The new 718 Cayman SportDesig­n Series is available for viewing at all Porsche Centres nationwide.
