2024 Porsche 718 Boxster Manual - Hard Goodbyes

As the Porsche 718 converts to an electric vehicle, we take the 2024 cabriolet decked out in a six-speed manual out for a wonderful week.
With a 2.0 L turbocharged flat-four engine, we've got 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque produced and spun through the rear wheels.
Guess which one of us wants the six-cylinder option instead?
We're in the Style Edition which is based off the 718, with the 718 S and 718 GTS 4.0 sitting above it.
You'll be missed, petrol Porsche 718 Boxster but never forgotten.

Are you excited for the Porsche 718 Boxster EV or do you prefer the petrol version?

[@drbobs8267]

I am excited to see what they can do with it since they are committed to it..

Having driven the boxer 4 engine in my 718 for 4 years, I don’t need a six either for sound or power. I’m also perfectly happy with the PDK despite learning to drive in the early 60’s on nothing but manuals and not owning an automatic until the 80’s. The turbo charged four is brilliant and the PDK is even more brilliant. You don’t need anymore than that. If you want it, it’s between your ears.

Appreciate the feedback - thanks!

Great video ❤
Porsche with gasoline engine and manual transmission, sounds good to me! I would buy this car but if Porsche is going EV, bye 👋 not interested. Can’t Porsche not go all digital screen instead give real gauges…it is going age more gracefully. I think the LC is more desirable with that V8.

Even though the H4 engine might be enough power for most people… the H6 being NA and thus having to chase the revs a little more is certainly more my style, plus just feels more properly Porsche.

[@drbobs8267]

Have you driven a 718 four-cylinder turbo? I believe if you do, you will find it’s more than enough for that vehicle. There’s no reason for any more power and the turbo four is definitely 100% Porsche.

Great to see a stick shift family

What a beautiful car. What a beautiful spec. Rubystone is currently my most favorite paint on any car. I don't see myself getting a shot with this car but I can imagine it must be so much fun. This is such a great sportscar!

[@Modern.Motoring]

You might!
