2016 Porsche 718 Boxster Brochure
The 2016 refresh brought two distinct four-cylinder turbocharged engines to the lineup: a 2.0-litre unit with 300 hp in the base model, and a 2.5-litre variant producing 375 hp in the S. Both offered the convertible roadster format alongside the targa-roofed Targa variant. Buyers could configure soft-top or hard-top options, each with its own character and convenience trade-off
2017 Porsche 718 Boxster & Cayman Brochure
The 2017 generation marked a turning point: both Boxster and Cayman now ran turbocharged flat-fours instead of naturally aspirated sixes, with the base 2.0-litre unit producing 300 hp and the 2.5 in S models good for 350 hp. Against rivals like the Jaguar F-Type and BMW Z4, Porsche's move to forced induction proved divisive, yet the mid-engined layout remained its defining adva
2019 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Brochure
The 2019 line-up offered a choice between the standard Cayman GT4 and the track-focused Clubsport variant, both powered by that naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six good for 414 horsepower. Buyers could specify the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission or stick with the six-speed manual, a rare choice in an era when automatics dominated the segment.
2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Brochure
The 2021 lineup offered the standard Cayman GT4 alongside the more track-focused Spyder variant—both sharing the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six producing 414 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission remained standard, bucking the industry's shift toward dual-clutch automatics. The wider body, fixed rear wing, and forged wheels came as part of the GT4 package, positio
2019 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport Brochure
By 2019, Porsche aimed the GT4 Clubsport squarely at drivers ready to take their own car to the track. The naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six produced 420 horsepower, enough to challenge rivals in regional GT racing without requiring a factory programme. A six-speed sequential gearbox, adjustable suspension geometry, and race-proven brakes made it accessible to serious amat
2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Brochure
The 2021 GT4 RS arrived as the ultimate expression of the mid-engine Cayman line: a four-litre flat-six developing 500 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual or optional PDK dual-clutch gearbox. It competed against the Alpine A110 S and Lotus Emira with a sharper edge—wider bodywork, fixed rear wing, and track-focused suspension geometry that made the road feel secondary.
2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport Brochure
The 2021 Clubsport arrived as Porsche's answer to buyers who wanted the GT4 RS stripped for circuit duty. Four-litre flat-six engine producing 500 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The catalogue showed no automatic option, no power steering adjustment, no infotainment concessions—just race-focused hardware: fixed suspension, welded roll cage, motorsport seats,
2019 Porsche 718 Spyder Brochure
The 2019 lineup offered two distinct paths: the hardtop Cayman alongside this open-air variant, each powered by the same naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six producing 414 hp. Buyers could specify either manual or PDK transmission, configure the sports suspension, or add the Weissach package for carbon-fibre trim. The breadth of customisation meant no two examples left the fa
2021 Porsche 718 Spyder Brochure
The 2021 lineup offered two distinct paths: the hardtop Cayman with its fixed roof and the open-air Spyder with power-operated soft top. Both housed the same naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six producing 510 horsepower, but the Spyder's convertible design appealed to purists seeking wind-in-hair engagement. Buyers could specify a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or the mech
2021 Porsche Boxster 25 Years Edition Brochure
By 2021, Porsche's roadster had become the entry point for buyers seeking open-air driving without the six-figure commitment of a 911. The 25 Years Edition arrived as a celebration and a statement: mid-mounted four-cylinder, 300 horsepower, and a stripped-back philosophy that proved you didn't need twelve cylinders to feel the road. It remained the thinking driver's sports car.
