Porsche boxster driving impression12/21/2023 ![]() The base Porsche 718 Boxster's MSRP starts at $65,500, excluding tax, registration, and a destination fee. In this 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster review, we take a deep dive into what makes this little German sports car so good.Ĭompared to its competitors, the average standard specs of the Porsche 718 Boxster together with its high price make it an expensive toy. Alongside those rivals, the Boxster remains the most dynamically talented, even if base models don't feel particularly posh. With a wide variety of engines on offer, including a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and a mighty 394-horsepower 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated six, there's something for everyone, and competitors such as the BMW Z4 and Audi TT Roadster are perennially shaking in their boots. Porsche has clearly sent out a signal that despite its plans to electrify the Boxster range in 2025, it will still commit to making the ICE version as good as it can be. The Boxster is now in its fourth generation and, thanks to continuous updates and model additions, is in the prime of its life. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.The 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster is one of the best-known 2-door roadsters around, and with good reason: it is one of the most exciting and best-handling cars to drive, and it doesn't cost supercar money. * Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. The brake discs are crossdrilled and internally vented, which helps to provide improved wet braking and optimum cooling. The pedal travel is short and the biting point precise. To make them tougher yet lighter and enable a more rapid response – even under extreme loads – the brake calipers have an enclosed monobloc construction. The brake discs have a diameter of 350mm at the front and 330mm at the rear. In the 718 GTS 4.0 models the brakes were further reinforced and adapted to the high performance: the front axle is equipped with six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers in red. ![]() The brake system on the 718 S models are reinforced on the front axle. The brake discs have a diameter of 330 mm at the front and 299 mm at the rear. The brake callipers are Black on the 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman and 718 Style Edition models, and Red on the S and GTS 4.0 models.

Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions of a car. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel consumption and CO₂ values. To the extent that fuel consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. ![]() ![]() ![]() For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel. New WLTP homologated vehicles are therefore not directly comparable with any vehicles tested under NEDC. You can find more information on WLTP at Fuel economy and CO₂ emission figures are only intended as a means of comparing different types of vehicles tested under the same test cycle. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. ![]()
