The trouble with limited-run Porsche models is there simply aren't enough to go around, and the 993 Speedster is among the most extreme cases. When Porsche launched a 911-based Speedster in 1989, they initially built 800. When they re-launched the Speedster with the 964 generation in 1994 they made just 936. When the 993 came around, things were …

The 718 Boxster (or Cayman), it’s Newer- But is it better?
I had been itching to try the latest Boxster with all the controversy surrounding this car. I will be the first to admit I’m leery of change. I often don’t want to accept the latest fad or lingo. I adored our ‘06 987 Boxster - the feeling with the top down, the handling and that great soundtrack. I love classics, and although the older Boxsters are …

With a free-revving 3.4-liter engine powering a single-minded machine weighing sub-3,000 pounds, the original Boxster Spyder had a lot to offer the discerning motorist. It did not exactly have the most user-friendly roof, or lack thereof, but that only allowed the driver to better appreciate the flat-six bark by leaving it down 100% of the time. …

Porsche Cars North America is issuing a voluntary safety recall for 2017 through 2019 model year 718 Boxsters and Caymans.

It wasn't particularly visible during last year's SEMA show, as it was tucked away in some out-of-the-way booth, but I knew I had to track it down as soon as I heard about Bisimoto's Boxster. The trek to see it was well worth the walk, as it is easily the wildest Boxster I've ever laid eyes on. With a huge wing slung out where a 996's engine would …

It takes a good sense of self to admit that we're not getting any younger. The world takes its toll on our bodies, minds, and occasionally fitness. We can't run as fast as we used to, and usually don't look as good as we used to. Our style has changed, and what was once fashionable is now dated and embarrassing to be seen wearing in public. There …

We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, but it's been dormant for over a year and it's time to rectify that. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. It's an excellent Porsche to drive, but it's in a pretty sorry state right now, and we want …

When this 2000 Boxster was purchased new, the owner likely never imagined their 2.7-liter base model would one day become a twin-turbocharged track monster. The mind of Bisi Ezerioha is an incredible thing, because he and his crew continue to build seriously impressive machines, building crazy power with unorthodox methods. There is very little in …

Isn't turbocharging marvelous? As sonorous as the old flat-sixes were, adding power has never been easier in the Boxster and Cayman range. Thanks to a revised intake and flow-optimized turbocharger the GTS makes 15 horsepower more than the S models. This additional power is only part of what sets the GTS apart from the other models in the 718 …
