The car
Porsche revived the 718 name in 2016, a reference to its flat-four racing cars of the 1950s and 1960s, when it moved the Boxster and Cayman from six cylinders to turbocharged fours. This page covers the entry level of that range: the 718 Boxster roadster, the 718 Cayman coupe and the 718 Boxster T. For the first time, the coupe was priced below the roadster.
All three use a 2.0-liter flat-four with a single wastegate turbocharger, mounted behind the seats and driving the rear wheels; it revs to 7,500 rpm. A six-speed manual is standard and a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch is optional. With PDK and the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche quotes 0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 170 mph.
The Boxster T, added for 2020, keeps the engine and makes the driver-focused options standard: PASM sport suspension 20 millimeters lower, Porsche Torque Vectoring with a mechanical limited-slip differential, Sport Chrono, a short-throw shifter, a sport exhaust and 20-inch wheels. Door-pull loops replace the interior handles.
On a 2024 car, Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 296 hp and 286 lb-ft to 380 hp and 350 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 400 hp and 370 lb-ft. The gearbox has its own controller and torque limits, so the optional TCU tune raises them to match, with sharper shifts and stronger clutch clamping.

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2016–2024 Porsche 718 Boxster / Boxster T / Cayman (2.0) models. Choose your year at the top of the page; figures and prices for each year are shown in the table above.
The S models have a larger 2.5-liter flat-four whose turbocharger uses variable turbine geometry, where these cars use a 2.0-liter engine with a conventional wastegate turbocharger. The S is quicker and is a separate catalog entry with its own page, 718 Boxster S / Cayman S.
It covers the 718 Boxster, the 718 Cayman and the 718 Boxster T, all built with the 2.0-liter engine. The Cayman T, the coupe counterpart of the Boxster T, is not named in our catalog, so contact us before ordering for one.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2024 car, Stage 1 takes it from 296 hp to 380 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 400 hp.
A TCU tune is available as an add-on ($1,999). It raises the transmission’s torque limits and sharpens the shifts so the gearbox can handle the extra power. Ship your TCU in the same box as your ECU.
