Porsche Boxster and Cayman

Rare card · No. 46225

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are mid-engine two-seater sports cars manufactured and marketed by German automobile manufacturer Porsche across four generations—as a two-door, two-seater roadster (Boxster) and a three-door, two-seater fastback coupé (Cayman). The first-generation Boxster was introduced in 1996; the second-generation Boxster and the Cayman arrived in late 2005; and the third generation launched in 2012. From 2016 to 2025, the two models were marketed as the Porsche 718 Boxster and Porsche 718 Cayman. The nameplate Boxster is a portmanteau of boxer, a reference to its flat or boxer engine, and Speedster, a nod to the original Porsche Speedster of the 1950's. The nameplate Cayman is an alternative spelling of caiman, a member of the alligator family. Production of both models ceased in October 2025. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said future production of full-electric replacements would arrive in the "medium term."
