The 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 with a 6 speed manual gearbox has been offered since 2020 and the new model features the 4.0-litre flat-6 from the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder, however de-tuned to 294kW (394hp; 400PS). The Boxster GTS 4.0 can accelerate to 97 km/h (60 mph) from a standstill in 4.3 seconds.
The exterior of the 718 Boxster exhibits a subtle evolution rather than a complete redesign compared to the third generation models. Notable alterations include a striking black-trim bar spanning the rear, connecting the taillights, while the headlights and bumper receive significant reworking. The side mirrors draw inspiration from the SportDesign mirrors found on the GT3.
Inside the updated cockpit of the 718, the 4th generation of the Porsche PCM system is evident, featuring a display without bezels and multifunction steering wheel controls. While the interior retains much of the essence of the 981 Cayman/Boxster and the 991.2 generation of the Porsche 911, the standout change is the introduction of the new PCM 4.0 infotainment system, replacing the PCM 3.1. Opting for the Sport Chrono package brings a mode selector switch on the steering wheel, offering Sports and Sports Plus driving modes for a more dynamic throttle response, albeit at the expense of fuel efficiency. Noteworthy design elements from the 981 Boxster endure, such as the large air induction ports on the side and the prominent horizontal aluminum piece used for refilling oil and coolant in the trunk.
