"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 …

The Porsche Boxster 25 Years Edition Is A Stunning Throwback To The Mid-1990s Concept
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.

Known for blending outrageously powerful motors with understated exteriors, RUF Automobile GmbH has made quite a name for itself.

If you're a fan of Porsche's naturally aspirated engines, you're in luck, because despite evidence to the contrary they don't seem to be dying any time soon. If you were to go to your Porsche dealership right now, you'd find just a handful of models not fitted with turbochargers, including the 718 Boxster and Cayman GTS, the GT4, the Boxster …

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 …

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 …

Stuffing a throaty six-cylinder in the back of a mid-tier Cayman or Boxster isn't ever going to be met with much opposition. While many have grown accustomed to the shove and impressive mid-range of the latest 2.5-liter turbo motors, the screaming 4.0-liter atmospheric engines will always be welcome betwixt the haunches of a 718.
