Porsche 718 Boxster
The most affordable Porsche sports car is still available is Cayman coupe and Boxster roadster body styles. Several output levels are offered, from the 300-horsepower base version all the way to the raucous Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder that generate 414 hp. All 718 variants, including the freshly introduced Cayman T and Boxster T, benefit from sublime handling characteristics, a near-perfect balance and a finely-trimmed cockpit.
