Ever wondered where the word "Boxster" comes from when we talk about the stunning new 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster and Boxster S? It's not as weird as it may seem.

It simply combines "boxer"--the horizontally opposed type of engine configuration--and "roadster"--classic two-seater convertible style--into one unique offering.

And this newest Boxster body style from Porsche is miles ahead of its closest competition; it offers precision handling and spacious headroom, a sleek and aerodynamic body, and plenty of power. The 718 Boxster produces 300 horsepower from a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, while the 718 Boxster S gets a small boost of tuning for an additional 50HP for a full 350 horsepower under the hood.

It's classic Porsche spirit with surprising everyday usability. Just see for yourself.
