For what feels like an eternity, Porsche has wowed the world with their inexplicable ability to build cars that perform like no other. Each time they refresh, overhaul, and produce a new model, everything gets just that little bit better, Rather satisfying for Porsche connoisseurs. This 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster T, with just over 4,000 miles on the clock, is the perfect blend of a sleek, precisely engineered sports car and a fun convertible. If Porsche has been producing stuff like this for 60+ years, it’s safe to assume it’s one hell of a car to drive.

Although the Porsche 911 is widely recognized as Porsche's flagship model, the Porsche 718 is an often overlooked contender that deserves attention. Originally introduced in 1957 as the Porsche 550 series successor of open top sports-racing cars, the 718 was specifically designed for Formula racing. Over time, the focus of the 718 shifted, and it now carries the 982 model designation. In 2016, the fourth-generation Boxster and third-generation Cayman were introduced under the 982 designation. Now, in 2023, Porsche presents the latest iteration of the 718 Boxster in the form of the low-mileage 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. This unique offering provides an alternative choice for those seeking a distinctive driving experience outside the realm of the iconic 911.

Many aspire to be the proud owner of a Porsche sports car, and Porsche helped some realize their dreams when they introduced the Boxster in 1996, as their entry-level offering. The first generation Boxster was a mid-engined two-seat roadster that was the first Porsche since the 550 to be designed as a roadster from the outset. Four generations on, the current 982 generation wears the designation ‘718 Boxster’ and its fixed-head sibling ‘718 Cayman’, the 718 being a reference to Porsche’s 718 race car which won the Targa Florio in 1959 and 1960. Here’s a lovely 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 from Florida as a worthy contender. It’s got just 11,789 miles on the clock.
