About the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0

In 2020 the GTS went back to six cylinders. The 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and Cayman GTS 4.0 use a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six closely related to the engine Porsche developed for the 718 Spyder and Cayman GT4, set up for road use with a 7,800 rpm limit and a system that alternately shuts down one cylinder bank at light loads.

At launch the only gearbox was a six-speed manual; from the 2021 model year a seven-speed PDK became available, with a shorter seventh gear than the four-cylinder 718s use. Porsche quotes 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds with the manual and 3.8 seconds with PDK, and 182 mph with the manual.

Standard chassis equipment includes PASM sport suspension with a 20-millimeter lower ride height, Porsche Torque Vectoring with a mechanical limited-slip differential and the Sport Chrono Package. Both the roadster and the coupe are covered here.

On a 2024 car, Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 395 hp and 310 lb-ft to 450 hp and 340 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 485 hp and 365 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.

FAQ

718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0 tuning questions

More answers in our FAQ

Which years of the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0 does this tune fit?

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2020–2024 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0 models. Choose your year at the top of the page; figures and prices for each year are shown in the table above.

How is the GTS 4.0 different from the 718 Spyder / Cayman GT4?

The GT4 and Spyder come from Porsche Motorsport: their version of the 4.0-liter flat-six revs to 8,000 rpm, and they add a front axle derived from the 911 GT3, a lower ride height and more downforce. The GTS 4.0 is the road-oriented car without the GT bodywork.

Does this page include the earlier 2.5-liter GTS?

No. The turbocharged four-cylinder GTS sold before 2020 is covered on 718 Boxster GTS / Cayman GTS (2.5). This page is for the six-cylinder roadster and coupe, with the manual or the PDK.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 on the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0?

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 395 hp to 450 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 485 hp.

Do I need a TCU tune for the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 / Cayman GTS 4.0?

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.
