Porsche's Boxster Spyder might be the best sports car I've ever driven in stock configuration. It's just so close to perfection that it doesn't really feel like it needs anything. The standard 4-liter flat six makes a perfectly usable 414 horsepower and sprints from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The steering is fantastic, the chassis is so well balanced, …

This Four-Cylinder Boxster Spyder Is Only Available In China For Now
Porsche's four-liter mid-engine drop-top has been a massive international hit for the company. With a reactive naturally-aspirated engine, gobs of torque, a sublime chassis, and open air motoring, it's one of the best sports cars to ever leave the factory. For the Chinese market, Porsche's biggest market, it holds a problem, however. Under China's …

"A mid-engined Miata with a flat-six," is how the Matt Million starts describing the Spec Boxster. Is it a big departure from something with less power? No, not really, but it does have some characteristics that the Miata just doesn't. Overall, it's not quite as nimble a car. The Porsche currently weighs in at 2,550 pounds—a few hundred heavier …

It has been twenty-five years since Porsche first delivered the Boxster to customers way back in 1996. It's hard to believe that much time has passed, but it's true. Our own Boxster Clubsport project was a 1996 build car. Today, in 2021, Porsche has unveiled a tribute to that original two-seat mid-engine runabout with a new Boxster 25 Years edition …

It's an alternative to Spec Miata and Spec E30 which might sway a few more to switch teams after watching this footage. True, the running costs of Spec Boxster are a little more than those of the aforementioned categories, but the added torque and mid-engine balance are worth the extra few thousand more per season. An Appealing Alternative The …

The original Boxster gets a lot of undeserved flak. We're all subject to the psychology of the hierarchy when we begin to inspect the Porsche lineup more closely, and as the Boxster sits at the bottom of the totem pole, it's going to get pelted by the droppings of the big eagles perched above. Though any honest petrolhead and track rat will …

Four students at the Fontys Minor Motorsport Engineering school in the Netherlands have built the car that Porsche is afraid to because it has too much awesome in one package. Porsche's Boxster and Cayman are already amazing platforms, and are quite easy to live with on a daily basis. I daily drove a Boxster for several years, and it served quite …

Every car, regardless of its level of focus, is at its best in a very specific environment. Whereas the Cayman GTS 4.0 we recently featured was sampled on a flat, fast, and challenging circuit, this example of its open-air counterpart is rightly tested on a bumpy backroad flanked with trees. With the lanky, eloquent, and always captivating Henry …

Turbocharging did not gain the Boxster and Cayman any fans. The models kindly picked up 911 fans' spare derision when the transaxle cars left production in the mid-1990s, and have carried the torch of poor public perception from their predecessors. Real enthusiasts should only be buying 911s after all, or so the line goes. Despite having something …

This car asks far more questions than it answers. Originally built to race in the 24 Hours of Lemons series by Vali Motorsports, it's clear that this car's theme is "Does that even run?" and holy hell does it run. In as-shown spec it is running a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter flat six [it's certainly not a GT3-spec engine as is claimed in the video, …
