The length, width, and height of the Porsche 718 are 4379mm, 1801mm, and 1276mm respectively, which are official data. The length of the Porsche 718 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Porsche 718 uses two types of engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum torque of 300 horsepower and 380 Nm; the maximum torque speed of this engine is between 2050 and 4500 rpm, and the maximum power speed is 6500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 2.5-liter turbocharged engine in the Porsche 718 has a maximum torque of 366 horsepower and 430 Nm. The maximum torque speed of this engine is between 1900 and 5000 rpm, and the maximum power speed is 6500 rpm. This engine is also equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. There are relevant national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure sufficient space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.
I've always thought the Porsche 718's body dimensions are perfect for sports car enthusiasts. The car is approximately 4.38 meters long, just over 1.8 meters wide, and under 1.3 meters tall, giving it a low-slung and sporty appearance. With a wheelbase of around 2.48 meters and short front overhangs, it's incredibly agile for city driving and easy to park. That compact feel keeps the center of gravity stable, with almost no body roll when cornering, making it a blast on mountain roads. I've also noticed the proportions are just right—though the trunk is small (only fitting a small bag), the two-seater layout is ideal, making it convenient for daily commutes or joyrides. Overall, these dimensions inspire confidence behind the wheel, and combined with Porsche's design, it's both stunning and practical.
As someone who has actually driven the 718, I find its size quite appealing. It's less than 4.4 meters in length, a bit over 1.8 meters in width, and around 1.3 meters in height, making it easy to weave through city traffic. Narrow garages aren't a problem, and parking is straightforward, though the low body means you need to be careful not to bump your head when getting in and out. With a wheelbase of 2.48 meters and rear-wheel-drive layout, the handling is precise, and it's rock-solid at high speeds. The small size means the trunk only fits small luggage, but the two-seater feels spacious inside, making long drives comfortable. I love this size—unlike bulky cars, it handles all road conditions effortlessly.
