Porsche 718 Boxster GTS (4.0) manual 2024

A thoroughly modern Porsche to delight the purists.

The Porsche Boxster has seen numerous revisions throughout its almost 30-year history; this 718 4.0 GTS is a return to an experience as close to the original Boxster ethos as you could wish for.

Exceptional handling, beautifully balanced by way of its mid engine layout, and a glorious naturally aspirated flat 6 delivering thrilling performance with a soundtrack to match. It ticks all the boxes.

Add to that, the way it looks; it is a very pretty car, from any angle. The rich Gentian blue metallic paint accentuating the lines of the bodywork, sitting lower on active Sports suspension, and riding on satin black 20 inch alloys.

This 2024 model has an unusually high list of specification, pushing the price to just shy of £90k when ordered new. Delivered just before Christmas 2023, so benefiting from Porsche New Vehicle Warranty until December 2026.
