    Porsche 718 Review, For Sale, Colours, Specs, Models & News

    FROM
    $132,500

    The Porsche Boxster and Cayman came under one roof for the ‘718’ generation of Porsche’s life support sports car.

    The Boxster brought prosperity back to a streamlined German sports car maker in the late 1990s and the Cayman broadened its appeal further.

    Headlined by the GT4 RS, the new iteration of Porsche’s mid-ship will go all electric leaving the 911 as the sole flat-six flag flyer in the range.

    The line-up currently starts at $132,500 for the 718 Cayman and ranges through to $335,300 for the range-topping 718 Spyder RS.
