The Boxster established Porsche's modern mid-engine roadster line in 1996 and has anchored it since. The years covered here span the 987.2 with its 2.9-liter flat-six, the lighter and larger 981 of 2013, and the turbocharged flat-four cars that took the 718 designation from 2017. Whatever the engine count, the fundamentals hold: mid-engine balance, an honest top-down driving experience, and Porsche build discipline.
