Experience the thrill of open-top motoring with the Porsche 718 Boxster 2.5 S (2017), a mid-engine roadster that redefines driving purity for the Philippine roads. This car blends Porsche’s legendary engineering with a turbocharged heart, delivering an uncompromised sports car experience that’s both exhilarating and refined.
Under the rear deck lies a turbocharged 2.5-liter Flat-4 engine producing 350 HP at 6500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque from 1900–4500 rpm. Paired with a lightning-fast 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive, it launches from 0–100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds (manufacturer claim) and hits a top speed of 285 km/h. The MacPherson suspension at all four corners and electric power steering ensure razor-sharp handling, while disc brakes with ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist provide confident stopping power.

Priced competitively in the premium roadster segment, it offers unmatched Porsche pedigree and turbocharged performance for those who demand the best.
