2024 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 - The Perfect Weekend Car? | CarCave

The perfect weekend car is not as straight forward as you might think. It cannot be too expensive, too impractical, too slow, too fast, too loud, too quiet, too noticeable, or too bland. It has to be just right. So what do you get? Well, Porsche may have the answer with the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0.

After waiting 15 months for an allocation, I am to receive my 2024 in May so I am selling my 2021 GTS 4.0. I really love the way the Boxster handles, it's the best summer car out there. Agate grey metallic exterior. The naturally aspirated flat six engine is truly one of Porsche's finest.

I have a Spyder. Love the top. Adds to the special experience. You would have to actually own one to understand.

Ordered one earlier this year and found this one during my daily search for new GTS4.0 vids, I’m pretty sure that I watched absolutely every single one out there 😂

Cannot agree more, the things that tempted me were the relatively good value in comparison to other Porsche sports cars and potential small depreciation and then I totally fell in love with this concept after test driving the Boxster T and finally ordered the GTS 4.0 without even driving it since my local Porsche Center didn’t have the demo.

Couple of months later I took part in Porsche Experience: Porsche on Track event. On one hand I was happy that I’ll finally drive the 718 GTS 4.0 and see for what am I waiting, but on the other I was afraid that driving the 911 (never drove one before) will totally ruin my experience, will make me feel that I chose the wrong car and maybe eventually change the order. Fortunately it was quite the opposite - don’t get me wrong, the 911 is an incredibly capable car, I’d even say that its limits are way further than in case of 718, it’s also way more confidence inspiring, but at the same time it was just boring and lacked fun. The handling was incredible, but I just felt like the car did everything for me and I didn’t really like it. Maybe it looks different for GT models, but 992 C2/C4S/C4GTS/Turbo S that I drove were just a big disappointment from the fun standpoint. At the same time the 718 GTS 4.0 turned out to be brilliant - it adressed all of the painpoints of base engine 718 - way better sound, way higher power output and above all perfect throttle response and power delivery and also my doubts have been resolved - I didn’t feel the low-end torque deficit that I was afraid of in the N/A car as I’m used to turbocharged ones and didn’t feel the difference in weight, it handled just as good as the T model.

I had an allocation for November, but due to problems in VAG factories they cancelled it and now I have one for February and really hope that this time everything will go smoothly, because in case it won’t I will have to look for the used one, because I just won’t give upon it, after all of those tests I’m totally sure that this car is the EXACT answer to what I’ve been looking for - just pure, condensed fun giving unlimited smiles per gallon that is actually usable as daily outside of winter time.

Traded in my 2021 Cayman S for a '24 Boxter GTS 4.0 and WOW what a difference that engine makes. I also own a 2018, 911 Targa 4S and truth be told, if I could keep only one, it just might be the Boxter, the car is superb!

[gilbertferguson]

Nice review. Yes Porsches are great driving cars and hold their value well. I have owned Boxster, Cayman and currently a 911. Love them all, there is no substitute. 😎

[richnick]

Good luck on finding a dealer that would sell a GTS for under 100, 000. Was going to get a new 23 that was for 109, 000 and then the dealer asked for additional 10, 000.

[KdPhresh]

Truth. 2015 Lexus GS-350 is my daily and I love it. Comfortable, quiet, RELIABLE.

[shomarirogers]

Great video as always! Truly enjoying these videos.

[williammorris]

Saw a dyno run with this car after a tune- 440 hp! This is what I’m getting next year. Trading in my 981 BS for it. I love the 981 but the 3.4 just doesn’t feel that fast unless you really ring its neck and I’d rather have the torque of the 4.0 engine around town.

[robertgregory]

Hoping to get an allocation, waiting patiently. If not, I’ll shop for a pre owned. Nice review!

[JDA]

Isn't it funny how everyone talking about cars going electric get sad and somehow we're supposed to be a free market society where consumers choose.

[neilgaydon]

The 718 EV is not a rumour, Porsche Europe already said it’s the end of ICE. The 4.0 GTS is the last N/A 718. 718 Spyder/GT4 are already discontinued. Today not even mainstream 911 have a N/ A engine. Grab a 718 GTS 4.0 N/A while you still can…when they’re gone, they’re gone…

[trigganometry]

They actually produced more 982 GT4’s than 982 GTS at the moment. Making it more rare hence why inventory is so low. I am an owner that will never sell my GTS.

[KdPhresh]

I bet this it peek drop top fun…..well, after a Spyder RS. I’ve been daily driving my wife’s 987.2 Boxster to work this week. After a few days I wanted my regular DD back. The roads are boring for the most part and dodging semi’s and rough spots gets old after a while. Plus 19 inch wheels are a little harsh.

[randyroebauch]

The question that nobody is asking is why should someone buy this for 100K new ? When it does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds with 394 hp and a Boxster S 981 gen with sport chrono pkg does 0-60 in 4.5 and cost $44K ?

[madfemurfast]

Weekend? That is a sweet daily drive! Value retention only matters to people that do not drive the car. Sure, might resale better than a Toyota, but if you drive it and enjoy it, likely the depreciation will be the least of your concerns. And values are high today, who knows in 5 years.

[dimmacommunication]

Nice video :) yeah I can't afford a porsche but If I had to buy one it would be this or a cayman GTS

[vvarioPL]

Also, isn’t it Miami Blue? I think that Shark Blue is a bit darker. Or maybe it’s the SoCal sun :D

[GethinJames]

Most people are paying mark-ups on these (including GT4 and Spyders). So MSRP is not an accurate measuring stick for depreciation.
Average mark-up over the last year has been 10-20k.

[BrewTownBiker]

I’ll take that over a base Carrera, mid summer 24 hopefully, wife and kids nope, but a GTS…..YES!
