Porsche has revealed its new 2014 Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS, two new range-topping versions of the firm's mid-engined sports cars.

Both the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS receive tweaked styling, a host of dynamic tweaks and more power and performance.

The GTS models are based on the 3.4-litre S versions of each car but get an extra 15bhp and 7lb-ft of torque, bringing the total up to 335bhp and 280lb-ft for the Cayman GTS, and 326bhp and 273lb-ft of torque for the Boxster GTS.

Six-speed manual gearboxes are available as standard on both cars, with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic available as an option. With the automatic gearbox, the Cayman GTS will get from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds, while the Boxster will manage it in 4.7 seconds.

Official fuel economy for both the Cayman and Boxster GTS stands at 34.3mpg with the PDK gearbox and 31.4mpg with the manual.

On the outside, the GTS models get revised front and rear bumpers, darkened bi-xenon headlamps, black detailing around the air intakes and black 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, sports seats and leather trim with 'alcantara elements' are included as standard.

The GTS models also get Porsche's Sport Chrono Package, which improves vehicle responsiveness, and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which allows the driver to modify damper stiffness.

Both the Cayman GTS and Boxster GTS will go on sale in the UK in May, following their official debut at the Beijing Motor Show next month. Prices will start from £52,879 for the Boxster and £55,397 for the Cayman.
