Porsche 718 Boxster
As the gateway to the Porsche lineup of sports cars, the 718 models deliver 300 horsepower in base trim all the way to 414 horsepower in top-line GT4 or Spyder trim. The rear mid-mounted engine contributes to perfect weight distribution. Customers can choose between a six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed dual-clutch unit known as PDK. For 2021, the German automaker added Apple CarPlay and LED headlights as standard equipment.
