Boxster / Cayman 

With the advent of the 718 generation of Boxsters and 718 Caymans, Porsche abandoned any pretence of separate identities, simply referring to the 718 as a coupe or a convertible though it kept the individual names. The minor technical details which differentiated the pair – until 2016 the Cayman always had a marginally higher horsepower engine, and in some cases, harder suspension settings, disappeared and Porsche took the logical step of selling the hard top version, previously the more expensive, below the Boxster. The 2024 price list shows the Cayman at $69,500 and the Boxster at $72,050.
