What is the difference between the Porsche 718 Boxster S and the 718 Cayman S?

Both cars use the same 2.5-litre flat-four producing 345bhp and the same mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The Boxster S is a roadster with an electric fabric soft-top that opens in around 9 seconds. The Cayman S is a fixed-roof coupe with a slightly stiffer chassis. The Boxster is the open-air choice; the Cayman is fractionally more track-focused with the roof in place.

Is the Porsche 718 Boxster S mid-engine?

Yes. The Boxster’s 2.5-litre engine sits between the axles, directly behind the seats. This central placement gives it near-perfect weight distribution and is the primary reason the Boxster handles differently — and more precisely — than front-engine or rear-engine sports cars.

How fast is the Porsche 718 Boxster S?

The Porsche 718 Boxster S reaches 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds with the PDK gearbox and has a top speed of 177mph. It is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-four producing 345bhp and 420Nm of torque.

Hire a Porsche 718 Boxster S in the UK

The Porsche 718 Boxster S is the purest driving experience in the Starr Porsche fleet. Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, open-top and 345bhp from a 2.5-litre flat-four turbo — it weighs around 1,360kg and reaches 60mph in 4.4 seconds with the PDK. The Boxster’s layout is the key thing: placing the engine directly behind the seats and ahead of the rear axle gives it a weight distribution that no front-engine or rear-engine sports car can match. Turn-in is immediate, the car pivots around you rather than ahead of you, and the throttle mid-corner has a predictable, confidence-building effect. If you want to understand why Porsche has a reputation for handling, this is the car that explains it most clearly.

Boxster S vs Cayman S — Which One?

Both the 718 Boxster S and the 718 Cayman S use the same 2.5-litre flat-four producing 345bhp, the same mid-engine layout and the same PDK gearbox. The difference is the roof. The Boxster is a roadster with a fabric soft-top that folds electrically in around 9 seconds. The Cayman is a fixed-roof coupe with a slightly stiffer chassis. The Cayman is marginally more track-focused; the Boxster is the one for open-air summer driving on UK roads. For most hirers the Boxster is the more enjoyable choice — the mid-engine layout means it handles just as sharply as the Cayman even without the coupe’s added rigidity.

The Porsche 718 Boxster S on UK Roads

The Boxster S is genuinely one of the best cars for a UK road trip. It is short enough (4,379mm) to fit in tight parking spaces, light enough to feel alive on a B-road, and refined enough on the motorway to cover distance without fatigue. The fabric roof seals completely and creates very little wind noise at speed. The front luggage compartment provides reasonable storage for a weekend bag — the mid-engine layout means there is no traditional boot at the rear, but there is a small storage area behind the seats. Drive it through the Peak District from Manchester, along the A9 from Edinburgh or on the coastal roads of Cornwall and it will reward every mile.
