Porsche 718 Boxster
One is a roadster, the other a coupe, but both of these "entry-level" Porsches offer a fun ride and great performance. For 2017, these two cars are equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that generates 300 or 350 horsepower, depending on the version chosen, to propel you down the beautiful winding roads you seek. In both cases, the S version with the Sport Chrono package only takes 4.2 seconds to reach 100 kilometres per hour!
