Porsche Boxster (981) - A Euphoric Rhapsody

The Porsche Boxster has always been about simplicity and purity. And in an era of hybridization, turbocharging, and downsizing – the latter two of which its newer 982 twin suffers from – this base model 981 Boxster (~40000 USD as tested) retains the spine-tingling NA Flat 6 howl that Porsches are known for, while still looking like a current model. Couple that to a lightweight, mid-engine, rear-drive powertrain, and you’re looking at potentially one of the purest, most perfect sports cars you can actually buy for a reasonable price.
