Porsche 718 係中置引擎、後輪驅動佈局，引擎擺喺駕駛艙後面、後輪軸前面。呢個設計嘅好處係車身重心更低，前後重量分佈更接近 50:50，過彎時車身更穩定，入彎更精準，係純種跑車嘅經典佈局，操控表現遠超普通前置引擎跑車。
The Porsche 718 features a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with the engine positioned behind the cabin and in front of the rear axle. The advantages of this design are a lower centre of gravity and a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, resulting in more stable cornering and more precise turn-in – the classic layout of a pure sports car, offering handling far superior to conventional front-engine sports cars.
