What's Going On
If you came here looking for the 2027 Porsche 718 Boxster, the short answer is that there isn't one. The fourth-generation car (known internally as the 982) ended production in late 2025 after nine model years. In early 2026 Porsche closed the US configurator for both the Boxster and the Cayman and pointed buyers to existing dealer inventory, and the 718 is no longer part of Porsche's 2027 US lineup.
The plan was always for an electric 718 to take over, but it has been delayed more than once. For a while in 2026 it looked as if Porsche might also keep combustion engines for the top versions of the next generation. That is now off the table: in October 2026 Porsche confirmed that the gas-engined Boxster and Cayman will not return, and that the next 718 will be electric only.
So the Boxster is in a gap. The old car is finished, and the new one has not been shown. We will update this page as soon as Porsche reveals the electric 718 and confirms US timing and pricing. Until then, everything about the last gas-powered cars, including variants, specs and final prices, is on our final-generation 718 Boxster page.
We came to the conclusion that we will build the model.

The Electric 718: What We Know
The electric 718 has not been revealed yet. Reporting points to production starting in 2027, with 2028 as the first full year, and Porsche has not announced a US model year, price, power or range. What Porsche has said is that the battery sits behind the seats, where the engine used to be, rather than under the floor, to keep the low seating position and mid-engine character of the current car.
It is expected to be offered as both a Boxster and a Cayman, like the car it replaces. Beyond that, treat anything you read about power, range or price as speculation until Porsche announces it. The same goes for a model year: the first cars could be badged 2027 or 2028 in the US, and Porsche has not said which.

Buying a 718 Boxster Now
The last US lineup was the 718 Boxster, Boxster Style Edition, Boxster S, Boxster GTS 4.0 and the 718 Spyder RS, with final 2025 prices from $74,900 to $164,200 before the delivery fee. You can no longer order one to your own spec. New cars are limited to whatever dealers still have. For most buyers that means a used car. Our pick of the range is the GTS 4.0, which pairs the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with a manual gearbox and everyday usability. See the final-generation 718 Boxster page for the full breakdown of every variant.
