From Your Porsche Dealer: A Guide to the 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster
Engine and Transmission
In its base form, the 718 Boxster is powered by a 2.0L turbo flat-4 engine that pairs with a 6-speed manual transmission and makes 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough performance for a top speed of 170 mph and a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. Want even more power? You can opt for the 350 hp 2.5L turbo flat-4 of the Boxster S or the GTS 4.0 model’s naturally aspirated 394-hp 4.0L flat-6, which can propel the car from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds.
While traditionalists will love the manual gearbox’s smooth and short throws, there’s also the option of a lightning-quick, ultra-precise 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission.
Chassis
The 718 Boxster boasts incredibly direct and responsive handling thanks to its aggressively tuned and fully independent suspension. Every model gets the automatically controlled Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system for improved stability and traction. Performance is further enhanced by the available Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, continuously optimizing the dampers and coming with normal and sport modes.
Along with powerful brakes, the 718 Boxster offers speed-sensitive power steering that makes direction changes feel effortless, no matter how fast the car is traveling.
Cabin
Inside, you’ll find a driver-focused cockpit featuring a simple, attractive design and user-friendly controls that won’t distract you from focusing on the road. Deeply bolstered seats keep you from sliding around during tight turns, plus you can add genuine leather and carbon fiber trim to the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Other customizations include a colored chrono stopwatch, colored seatbelts, and deviated stitching.
The 718 Boxster comes standard with comforts like dual-zone automatic climate control and multi-level heated seats. With the simple touch of a switch located on the center console, the top opens and closes in seconds.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Apple CarPlay smartphone integration and support for SiriusXM satellite radio are standard on the 718 Boxster. When the Porsche Connect navigation system is selected, it offers real-time traffic updates, updateable maps, and a 4G LTE mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Audiophiles will have the choice of upgrading to either a 10-speaker Bose surround sound system or a Burmester high-end surround sound system featuring 12 individually controlled speakers.
With its stunning performance and telepathic handling, the 718 Boxster delivers an exhilarating experience. Visit Porsche Monmouth in West Long Branch, NJ today and give it a test drive!
