What is the Porsche 718 Boxster?

The 718 Boxster is a two-seat sports roadster with its engine behind the seats and a fabric roof that opens the cabin. In Porsche’s range, it is the open-top partner to the 718 Cayman coupé. Its compact shape and mid-engine layout make it a distinctive choice for drivers who enjoy open-air motoring.

Porsche added the 718 name to the Boxster and Cayman in 2016. It recalls the marque’s mid-engine 718 racing cars and reflects Porsche’s long connection with motorsport.

718 Boxster generations

The 982 generation ran from 2016 to 2025. The model brought the 718 name and launched with turbocharged flat-four engines. It kept the Boxster’s mid-engine layout, with revised styling and a new engine direction. Higher-performance versions later brought larger engines.
