Porsche 718 Boxster 2018 Car Review
The Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman are mid-engined two-seater sports cars built by Porsche. There have been four generations; the very first generation Boxster, a 2-door, 2-seater roadster was published in 1996. The Cayman, a 2-door, 2-seater fastback coupé using the second generation Boxster continued sale in late 2005. A third generation was launched in 2012, and since the fourth generation of 2016, both the models have been marketed jointly since the Porsche 718 Boxster and Porsche 718 Cayman. With the new 982-generation, the marketing designation in the Boxster and Cayman was changed to Porsche 718, a nod to Porsche's racing heritage that won the Targa Florio race in 1959 and 1960. Because the 718 Cayman / Boxster has lost two cylinders, going from your naturally aspirated flat-6 engine to your turbocharged flat-4 engine, the name is meant to evoke a racing series that has been won by the light car that outmaneuvered the cars with additional powerful engines.
