Porsche's mid-engine roadster. Affordable Porsche entry. The 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 brought back flat-six character.
The Porsche Boxster is a mid-engine roadster in production since 1996, sister car to the Cayman coupe. The Boxster shares platform with the Cayman; both use the same chassis and powertrain. The Boxster has been Porsche affordable entry-level sports car, providing the Porsche driving experience at lower price points than the 911. Boxster generations include the original (1996-2004), Type 987 (2005-2012), Type 981 (2013-2016), Type 718 Boxster (2016-2024), and current Type 982 (2025+). The 718 Boxster initially used turbocharged flat-four engines (controversial reception). The 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 (2020-2023) brought back naturally aspirated flat-six in a focused sport variant. On WhipJury, Boxster submissions are common across generations. The 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and the older 981 Boxster Spyder are particularly desirable.
