2023 BUYER'S GUIDE

PORSCHE

718 BOXSTER/CAYMAN The Boxster and Cayman lines get new color options, while wired Apple CarPlay is now included on the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder, the final two Porsches not to offer the tech. It’s worth noting the Cayman GT4 RS—the most capable, extreme incarnation of the coupe to date—is now fully available, replete with laugh-out-loud handling limits and a stunningly raucous 4.0-liter flat-six shared with the 911 GT3. Prices start at $150,550; the weight-shaving Weissach package adds $13,250. If you really want to go all the way, you can spec magnesium wheels for another $15,640.

911 All 911s receive various updates and additions to available wheel designs and colors, plus an optional Heritage Design Package Classic. The latter brings a significant portion of the Sport Classic’s interior to all 911 Carreras and 911 Turbos.

Porsche also whipped up the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America Edition to commemorate the introductions of the 356 America Roadster in 1972 and the 964 911 Carrera America Roadster in ’92. It’s available only with the seven-speed manual gearbox and in Azure Blue 356 exterior paint. Other details include model badges in red and white, unique interior stitching, the gear-selector shift pattern in red, and “America” side decals. Only 100 examples will come to the U.S., starting at $186,370—or $193,880 with an extended interior package.
