and the Boxster’s 30th. On August 27, they’ll celebrate 60 years of the 911.
“The logic here was to celebrate Boxster because we feel like it’s not done enough,” said the Petersen’s director of marketing Luna Bondesan. “The Boxster is the entrance vehicle to the Porsche world and to Porsche appreciation—a lot of people start with that. And then they grow into the model range with 911s, and others. So we wanted to dedicate special attention to the model and to the owners because the Boxster gives so much driving pleasure.
The Boxster is the convertible version. This is the coupe, a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, which I highly recommend.Indeed it does. I myself recently spent a week in a screaming yellow zonker of a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and started plotting how I could raid the kid’s college fund to buy one . The 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six made 394 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. All of that output was easily accessible across a wide and very pleasing power band. Zero-to-60 mph comes up in a quick 4.
I drove it up and down Angeles Crest Highway far more than I should have and enjoyed every shift of the zonker’s six-speed manual transmission. The 20-inch wheels and matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires stuck like Crazy Glue. Porsche lists the price of this car starting at $95,200 before destination . The least-expensive Boxster lists for $68,300 before you do anything.“The chassis is wonderfully rigid, the suspension is suitably stiff without ever becoming jarring.
