THE BLISTERING PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN GTS AND 718 BOXSTER GTS MODELS TAKE MID-ENGINE DRIVING PLEASURE TO NEW HEIGHTS.

Two-litre roadsters don’t come any more terrific than the Mazda MX-5 and Porsche 718 Boxster.

Porsche’s heavily revised roadster punches harder and faster, but does sowithout a spine-tingling soundtrack.

Porsche’s introduction of its new 718 roadster started with this technology spree in Marseille.

Porsche’s updated Boxster and Boxster S models are now called the 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S. For the first time in the models’ history, both are powered by turbocharged flat-4 engines. The last mid-engine Porsche roadster with a flat-4 was the 914, which was developed together with Volkswagen. It was produced from 1969 to 1976.

It may cost over $450,000 on the road, but our reviewer argues that Porsche’s new Boxster Spyder is a bit of a bargain.
