Looks good in Ruby Star Neo. 💕

Yes, I know it’s ‘only’ a cosmetic package for the base 718, but it looks great in this colour, with the wheels from the Spyder. :)

I really like the Spyder wheels as well as the colour. Think it looks even better on the Boxster. Would only buy it though if:

1. I was under 40 (alas that shop sailed)

2. It was available with a punchier engine

Would also help if it wasn't called the Style edition as that implies that it's all about style (vs substance).

But a nice thing to look at...

I would be tempted! Love the colour! Love the Spyder wheels (in silver). Think the Cayman is a great car. The only thing missing is the 4.0 engine! ;)

Agree on the colour & Spyder wheels (in silver, not white or black).

As you imply, with a 4.0 in it, it would be much better.

I would delete any reference to ‘Style Edition’.

To be fair, the ‘Style Edition’ is very much about the cosmetics, with no tweaks to performance or handling etc.

Quite like it but not sure I could drive it in public!

And the 'Style Edition' name is just embarrassing. Sounds like an early '90s vauxhall astra special edition.

The car that colour looks best on is a 964rs with silver cups 👌 others just don't come close!

Why on earth don’t porsche just make the options available across the range and allow punters to decide their own spec.

The range is already crowded
