AutoExec Summary
Porsche has addressed criticism of its Cayman and Boxster sports cars by replacing the four-cylinder engine with a new flat six in the 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder. The new 4.0-litre flat six engine can rev to 8000rpm, providing the high-performance sound expected from a Porsche. The brand’s reluctance to put a powerful motor in the mid-engine sports cars has changed, with the new engine offering similar characteristics to the more expensive 911 GT3 model. Priced from $209,000, the new models are expected to sell out quickly in Australia. Additionally, LuxuryMerc, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have also released new luxury vehicles with advanced features.

Brands mentioned: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Subaru, VW Beetle, 911
