The 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder looks awesome on paper, and it's pretty great to drive. But does it recapture the magic that made the last one so special? We head to Italy to find out.
Security camera footage captures a man redefining the term "auto erotic" with a Porsche Boxster that he just can't keep his hands off of (or other parts out of).
Popular demand for the new Cayman GT4 could spur Porsche to build an even hotter version of the new Boxster Spyder, reports indicate.
The Porsche Boxster Spyder is back with 375 horsepower, a manual transmission, a no-frills interior, and a manually operated cloth roof. We want one. Now.
The Boxster and Cayman are like the scrappy siblings compared to their star brother – the Porsche 911. And now it looks like the rivalry is about to get even more serious, as our spies have captured this hotted-up Boxster doing some winter testing.

Porsche recently introduced a four-cylinder version of the new Macan for markets outside of North America, carrying Zuffenhausen's first four-pot since the 968 ended its production run the better part of two decades ago. But you can bet the compact crossover won't be the only Porsche to get the four banger before all's said and done. These spy shots, we're told, are evidence of just that.
Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts.

Porsche has gathered topless legends from its history, and one notorious hardtop, to show off some of the metal that inspired the 2013 Porsche Boxster. Unfortunately, they sat in the garage on the first day of filming a promo at the Barber Motorsports Park because an all-day rainstorm also decided to enjoy the track.
If you put us in charge of Porsche Boxster development, we'd have demanded more power, less weight and improved fuel efficiency. We now know that the new 265-horsepower, 2.7-liter boxer six is capable of producing 10 more ponies than the outgoing model, and overall tonnage was slashed by 55 pounds, so the base model is already two-thirds of the way toward our vision.
