The Porsche 718 Boxster S is a mid-engine compact sports car produced by German automaker Porsche that is part of the fourth-generation Porsche Boxster/Cayman (718).
Description[]
Released in 2016, the 718 Boxster/Boxster S features two new horizontally opposed flat-4 turbocharged engines at 2.0 L (1,988 cc) and 2.5 L (2,497 cc) displacement with increased torque and horsepower, higher redline, and lower fuel consumption.
The 2.0L F4 produces 296 hp (221 kW) and 280 ft·lb (380 N·m). With a six-speed manual transmission, 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) occurs in 4.9 seconds along with a top speed of 171 mph (275 km/h). The seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission produces a faster 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds and the PDK Sport Chrono version produces 4.5. The 2.5L F4 produces 345 hp (257 kW) and 310 ft·lb (420 N·m). Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the 718 Boxster reaches 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h). The top speed is lower for both PDK transmissions, though, with 172 mph (277 km/h). The PDK has a faster 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds, while the PDK Sport Chrono does the same in just 4 seconds.
The 718 Boxster weighs 2944 lb (1335 kg) with a manual and 3010 lb (1365 kg) with the PDK transmission, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of up to 258 hp per tonne. The Boxster S weighs 2988 lb (1355 kg) with a manual and 3054 lb (1385 kg) with the PDK transmission.

Summary[]
The Porsche 718 Boxster S was added in the Porsche Update as a mid Class C car with the following statistics:
- Starting rank: 1236
- This was changed to 1160 in the ? Update
- MAX rank: 1390 (+154)
- This was changed to 1290 (+130) in the 2021 Spring Update
- MAX+PRO rank: 1496 (+106)
- This was changed to 1410 (+120) in the 2021 Spring Update
- Tuning Kit bonus: +39
- Stock to MAX+PRO rank difference: 260
- Nitro Efficiency: 7/11.5/13
Performance[]
The Porsche 718 Boxster S is a nitro-focused car and has a unique nitro efficiency combination of 7/11.5/13.
It can reach its maximum total speed of 243.2 mph (391.5 km/h) in a quick 2.6 seconds. Just like the Porsche Cayman GT4, the 718 Boxster S has a lower total speed than what its rank would otherwise suggest, which poses a large problem on top speed-focused tracks. Due to being nitro-focused, the 718 Boxster S only gains up to 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h) with the top speed maxed out, which is only 40% larger than the 4.43 mph (7.14 km/h) top speed gain of the Vencer Sarthe in the same class and 75% larger than the 3.55 mph (5.71 km/h) top speed gain of the Peugeot RCZ R in Class D.
The 718 Boxster S has an acceptably decent steering capacity, and while it doesn't have a wide drifting radius, it loses a lot of speed (but not too much) during drifts, again due to its extreme emphasis on nitro, much like the Cayman GT4 and 959.
Usage[]
Despite being heavily nitro-focused, like the Cayman GT4, the 718 Boxster S suffers the problem of not being competitive enough, as even with an upgrade configuration of 0004 0003 with a rank of C1289 and a total speed of 220 mph (355 km/h), the 718 Boxster S is unable to compete with the Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition, TVR Sagaris, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition, or even the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Similarly, another tune of 0205 0205 gives a rank of C1339 and a total speed of 230 mph (371 km/h), which isn't as competitive as some other similarly-ranked cars.
In terms of Events, the 718 Boxster S isn't recommended either, as there are a huge lack of Events in which the 718 Boxster S can excel at. If pitted against a MAX+PRO Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic, the 718 Boxster S has a strong advantage in acceleration, while the Evoque has a higher total speed at 244 mph (393 km/h), a similar drift radius but with a higher raw speed, and higher nitro efficiency (5/10/15), the latter of which only helps the Evoque on tracks where nitro management is a priority.
As of the Hot Wheels Update , the Boxster is now required for career mode, with a Gate Drift event in Season 4, set in Barcelona. The Boxster replaces the delisted Scion FR-S, the car the event originally called for. It also replaced the aforementioned Scion FR-S in the Season 9 race set in Dubai Reverse, but this event was later omitted in the Asphalt Moments Update.
Price & availability[]
The Porsche 718 Boxster S was made available in the Garage from July 10, 2017 onwards. As of the 2020 Halloween Update, the 718 Boxster S can be purchased for 490,000.
The Porsche 718 Boxster S was obtainable for reaching Tier 50 in the Techrules AT96 Track Version Car Hunt. Players who already owned the car would get 8x Wild Card - Common instead.
As of the Gangstar Season Update, upgrades require 55 of each Uncommon Drivetrain, Uncommon Exhaust, Uncommon Suspension, Uncommon Tires, 60 Uncommon Tech, 160 Porsche 718 Boxster S Kit and 6,000,000.
Championship[]
- Main article: Championship/Porsche 718 Boxster S
