Porsche Boxster 982

2016 – 2024

The Porsche 982 is the internal designation for the fourth generation Boxster/Cayman, with the models now marketed as the Porsche 718 series. This change in naming was accompanied by the adoption of a new turbocharged flat-four engine. The switch to the 718 name pays homage to the historic Porsche 718, which achieved significant racing success in the Targa Florio races of 1959 and 1960. The use of the 718 name aims to recall Porsche's racing heritage, specifically highlighting the prowess of light cars like the 718 that were able to outmaneuver competitors with larger, more powerful engines. The 718 Boxster made its debut in January 2016 and was first showcased at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Following closely, the 718 Cayman was introduced to the lineup in April at the Beijing Motor Show. Both models continue the legacy of the Boxster and Cayman line, known for their sporty handling, striking design, and exceptional performance. The incorporation of turbocharged flat-four engines represents a shift in the powertrain technology utilized in these models, aiming to enhance both efficiency and performance. In summary, the Porsche 982 represents the next evolution of the Boxster/Cayman line, now marketed as the Porsche 718 series with the introduction of turbocharged flat-four engines. The choice of the 718 name is a nod to Porsche's racing history and the model's lineage that excelled in competition. The 718 Boxster
