Gaswerks Garage is pleased to present our 2018 Porsche 911 Boxster S. With the new 982-generation, the marketing designation of the Boxster was changed to Porsche 718, a nod to Porsche’s racing heritage that won the Targa Florio race in 1959 and 1960. Because the 718 Boxster has lost two cylinders, going from a naturally aspirated flat-6 engine to a turbocharged flat-4 engine, the name is meant to evoke a racing series that was won by a light car which outmaneuvered the cars with more powerful engines. The timeline of the 718 release started in 2016, with first model availability scheduled for June. The Boxster S model’s turbocharger utilizes Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) technology. The exterior of the 718 Boxster is very similar to the third generation, in fact more of an evolution than a redesign. The most notable changes are to the rear of the car, which now has a long black-trim bar across the rear connecting the two taillights. The headlights and bumper are also heavily reworked. On the sides, the mirrors have been redesigned, taking hue from the Sport Design mirrors on the GT3. The interior remains very similar to the 981 Boxster and the 991.2 generation of the Porsche 911. The main change is the new PCM 4.0 infotainment system, which replaces the PCM 3.1. The steering wheel comes with a mode selector switch that includes a selection of Sports and Sports Plus driving modes, resulting in snappier throttle response at the cost of fuel efficiency. Overall, the most prominent design features of the 981 Boxster remain, including large air induction ports on the side, and the prominent horizontal aluminum piece used for adding oil and coolant in the trunk. Despite the loss of two cylinders, the 718 Boxster are mechanically superior to the 981 model; acceleration is faster and steering is improved according to Top Gear and Motor Trend. The 718 was declared Motor Trend’s 2nd best Drivers car in 2017, which praised the car’s handling and throttle response. Our car comes equipped with:
