718 Boxster T
The Porsche 718 Boxster T features turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-four producing 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft torque at 1,950 rpm through six-speed manual or seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with PDK and Sport Chrono Package (4.9 seconds manual) at 3,058 pounds curb weight. T specification includes 20-inch Titanium Grey wheels from 911 Carrera S, mechanical limited-slip differential with torque vectoring, PASM sport suspension lowered 20mm, Sport Chrono package, Sport Seats Plus, and GT Sport steering wheel.
Boxster T represents base-engine four-cylinder variant enhanced with performance equipment from six-cylinder 718 GTS, creating compelling value proposition combining affordable turbocharged entry-level pricing with genuine handling enhancements at lower cost than GTS specification. The combination of mid-engine balance, mechanical LSD traction management, and lowered sport suspension creates engaging driving dynamics despite turbo-four engine lacking naturally-aspirated flat-six character preferred by Porsche purists, with T designation establishing driver-focused specification philosophy emphasizing chassis excellence over ultimate power output in accessible roadster platform.
