Porsche introduced the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 for the 2020 model year, answering enthusiast demands for a return of the naturally aspirated flat-6 engine. This model replaced the previous 2.5L turbocharged flat-4 GTS, installing a 394-horsepower, 4.0L engine derived from the 911 GT3 family. The GTS 4.0 bridges the gap between the Boxster S and the more hardcore 718 Spyder, offering track-capable performance with more daily-driving comfort.
The GTS 4.0 is highly sought after for its exceptional engine note, linear power delivery, and the option of either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK transmission. It combines the best elements of the 718 platform, including standard features like the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), with the soulful character that many felt was missing from the 4-cylinder cars. It's widely considered a modern classic and a high point for internal combustion sports cars.
Market values reflect the model's desirability, with an average transaction price over $108,000. These cars have experienced minimal depreciation, and examples with desirable options like carbon-ceramic brakes (PCCB), full bucket seats, and special colors command a premium. As the industry shifts toward electric powertrains, the GTS 4.0's position as a future collectible is very secure.
Buying Tips
- Get a DME report to check for engine over-revs, especially on 6-speed manual cars. This is a standard part of a pre-purchase inspection at a Porsche specialist.
- Verify the complete service history. The initial break-in service is important, and all subsequent maintenance should be documented.
- If equipped with Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), inspect the rotors carefully for any chips or cracks, as replacement costs are very high.
- Confirm the car's specific options. Desirable features like full bucket seats, the lower PASM Sport Suspension, and unique colors significantly impact value and desirability.
