The Porsche 718 is a car from Porsche. Under the bonnet: gasoline engine. Wilhelm Hild drew it.

Where it came from

The Porsche 718 is a series of one- or two-seat sports-racing cars built by Porsche from 1957 to 1962. An open-wheel single-seat model was developed for Formula racing.

Under the skin

Power comes from gasoline engine. It weighs 570 kg. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Porsche 550. Nearby in the Porsche catalogue sit the Porsche P1 and the Porsche Type 12.

What it costs now

The money question first: $81,700–$117,600 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $4,830–$5,630 a year. Insurance sits around $2,660–$4,330 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
