Porsche is one of those automobile manufacturers who choose interesting and exotic names for their models. Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Taycan and Macan are the current lot. The only exception is their iconic 911. The Porsche Boxster model was initially produced in 1996, and to much of Porsche’s surprise the Boxster reversed the downward trend of the company’s revenue. A fun fact is that Porsche consulted Japanese car maker Toyota on sharing parts among models which contributed to their revenue increase. This is a 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster S from the fourth generation of the model’s lifecycle, with just 9,600 miles on the clock and it comes from North Carolina.
This 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster S is laid out in a gorgeous Night Blue metallic paint with a black convertible soft top that is powered. The 20” Carrera S 10-spoke wheels are powder coated and include wheel centers with full color Porsche crests and are wrapped in a set of Pirelli P-Zero tires. The model’s ‘718’ designation in blue lettering adds to the distinctiveness of the exterior outlook, as do the silver-tipped sport tailpipes. The interior is a full-fledged leather affair in black which extends to the dashboard trim and sun visors. The Porsche branded 3-spoke sports steering wheel is wrapped in leather as well, and contains paddle shifters for manual shifting, which can also be done via the solid aluminum PDK (it stands for Porsche DoppelKupplungsgetriebe in case you were wondering) gear selector. The center console features chrome trim with a double-DIN infotainment system
The 718 Boxster series comes with a variety of engines, and this 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster S packs a 2.5L (152ci) flat-four turbocharged engine, whilst the regular Boxster makes do with a 2.0L (122ci) unit. The 2.5L features a variable turbine geometry (VGT) turbocharger which increases boost at low speeds, reduces response time, improves fuel economy and performance. Putting out 350hp and 309 lb ft via the PDK dual-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels, it’s enough for a 0-60mph sprint of 4.2 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than a manual gearbox-equipped 718 Boxster S. The top speed is 177mph.
Although the Porsche 911 is widely recognized as Porsche's flagship model, the Porsche 718 is an often overlooked contender that deserves attention. Originally introduced in 1957 as the Porsche 550 series successor of open top sports-racing cars, the 718 was specifically designed for Formula racing. Over time, the focus of the 718 shifted, and it now carries the 982 model designation. In 2016, the fourth-generation Boxster and third-generation Cayman were introduced under the 982 designation. Now, in 2023, Porsche presents the latest iteration of the 718 Boxster in the form of the low-mileage 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. This unique offering provides an alternative choice for those seeking a distinctive driving experience outside the realm of the iconic 911.
Many aspire to be the proud owner of a Porsche sports car, and Porsche helped some realize their dreams when they introduced the Boxster in 1996, as their entry-level offering. The first generation Boxster was a mid-engined two-seat roadster that was the first Porsche since the 550 to be designed as a roadster from the outset. Four generations on, the current 982 generation wears the designation ‘718 Boxster’ and its fixed-head sibling ‘718 Cayman’, the 718 being a reference to Porsche’s 718 race car which won the Targa Florio in 1959 and 1960. Here’s a lovely 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 from Florida as a worthy contender. It’s got just 11,789 miles on the clock.
The Porsche Boxster was introduced in 1996 by the German sports car manufacturer as a model intended to slot into their range below their flagship 911, as a mid-engined two-seat roadster (convertible) offering. When the first generation was introduced in 1996, it replaced the front-engined 968. The Boxster is a sales success story for Porsche to this date and is now on its fourth generation which was introduced in 2016 as the 718 Boxster, along with its fixed-roof sibling the 718 Cayman. In case you are wondering, the name Boxster is an amalgamation of Boxer, which refers to the flat (boxer) engines that power the car, as well as its style as a roadster. This is a fourth-generation 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster that comes from Florida with 33,000 miles on the clock. Two keys are included with the sale, and it is reported to be a fully dealer-maintained car.
The Porsche Boxster was launched in 1996, as the new entry-level point to Porsche ownership. Targeted at a younger demographic, the Boxster continues to offer a signature Porsche driving experience to those who can’t yet get their hands on a 911. Featuring a mid-engined layout, the Boxster’s open-top driving experience is a great way to hone your performance driving skills too. If you’d like to see what a first-generation Boxster was like, we’ve got a nice 42,500-mile 2001 Porsche Boxster for sale right now. The car has received some new parts, and comes with documentation of all work completed, as per the current owner.
A classic Porsche, sunset and an empty road ahead is the perfect recipe to driving nirvana. Looking to experience a driving experience that's unmatched? Feast your eyes on this lovely 1982 Porsche 911 SC we have today.
September 1964 was an exciting month and year for auto fans worldwide. Porsche would reveal its groundbreaking 911 sports car. Here was a car that broke the mold of what a sports car was widely believed to be. Sporting an air-cooled flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, the first 911 would set a template that is largely unchanged to this day. Even the iconic teardrop shape and five-binnacle instrument cluster are apparent in the 911s of 2024, and soon, 2025. There have been many generations of 911, and until 1998, they used air-cooled engines. After that, emissions regulations and increasing power demands meant that Porsche had to adopt water cooling. So, the 996 era of 1998 is considered the first of the water-cooled 911s. This 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 comes from that era. The car has got 108,000 miles on the odometer. Furthermore, we’re told that it received an engine rebuild at 98,000 miles, plus a transmission rebuild at 105,000 miles. So, it’s powertrain is as fresh as the proverbial daisy, and it just begs you to enjoy it the way it’s meant to be.
