The third generation of the Boxster, presented today, is the biggest change the model has undergone since its launch in 1996, although it could have been a simple mid-life update. To begin with, the name changes, as the Boxster and Cayman are now considered the convertible and coupé variants of a single model, called 718 in reference to the 718 RSK Spyder racing car of the 1950s. This name should therefore logically be retained in future evolutions of the model as well. Although it is not necessarily obvious at first glance, the new Boxster has been completely redesigned and many details are different. The most striking are the front and rear bumpers; above all, the headlights have become slimmer and darker. Although, broadly speaking, the silhouette retains the same harmony, the Boxster loses a little character, especially at the front, which looks somewhat blander. However, the revolution of the new model takes place under the rear bonnet. In place of the previous 2.7- and 3.4-litre 6-cylinder flat engines, 2.0- and 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbos are now used. For purists this represents a double shock, since, on the one hand, two cylinders are lost and, on the other, turbocharging is introduced, as happened recently with the king, the 911.
