Quick Summary

The Porsche Boxster 718 is a mid-engined sports car that represents a significant evolution in Porsche's two-seater roadster lineup. Introduced in 2016 with controversial turbocharged four-cylinder engines, the car offers exceptional driving dynamics, a perfectly balanced chassis, and the flexibility of a convertible roof. Despite initial criticism of its engine sound, the Boxster remains a supremely capable and engaging sports car.

Featuring a combined luggage space of 280 litres, surprising practicality, and a refined driving experience, the Boxster 718 proves that a sports car can be both thrilling and usable. The electrically powered roof can be operated in just nine seconds, adding to its versatility and appeal.
