The 718 Boxster T is not a special edition model defined primarily by additional comfort features. On the contrary. With the “T,” Porsche has deliberately focused the 718 on what defines a sports car: low weight, an outstanding mid-engine chassis, direct feedback, and as much driving pleasure as possible.
At Porsche, the “T” traditionally stands for “Touring.” The concept dates back to the 1968 911 T and has been reinterpreted in a modern, very consistent way for the 718. Porsche combined the 300 PS 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine with numerous dynamic handling components that clearly set the T apart from the standard 718.
These include, among other things, the PASM sport suspension lowered by 20 millimeters, the Sport Chrono Package, the dynamic transmission mounts, and Porsche Torque Vectoring with a mechanical rear-axle limited-slip differential. The result is not a car whose uniqueness is revealed solely in a list of features. You really notice the difference, especially when driving.
What I find particularly appealing is the combination with the manual transmission. Especially with the T, the Manual fits perfectly with the deliberately purist concept. The clutch, shift travel, steering, and suspension ensure that the driver is more actively engaged than with the undoubtedly faster and more comfortable PDK. Combined with the mechanical rear-axle differential lock, this creates exactly the kind of sports car that’s becoming increasingly rare today: analog enough to make driving itself an experience, yet modern enough to be used effortlessly at any time.
For me, that is precisely where the special appeal of the Boxster T lies. With its mid-engine layout, low seating position, and very precise suspension, it’s an extraordinary joy to drive even on a winding country road—without requiring absurd speeds. The T feels light, responsive, and engaging—while remaining a full-fledged roadster that’s also perfect for relaxed, long-distance driving.
My car was first registered here in Bavaria in September 2020 and has covered only about 13,500 kilometers to date. The car has never been in an accident, retains its original paint entirely, and has had only two private owners so far. Both the first owner and I used the Boxster exclusively as a summer and fun car. It was never an everyday car or a winter vehicle for either of us.
The maintenance history reflects this: The Boxster has already been serviced twice at the Porsche Center Landshut and currently has a Porsche Approved warranty that runs until September 16, 2026. If you’re interested or need it, the Approved warranty can be extended again before delivery, and a service can also be performed by arrangement.
I particularly love the combination with Guards Red. It’s a classic Porsche color that perfectly complements the understated character of the T model and, together with the dark T accents and the “718 Boxster T” lettering on the side, creates just the right blend of sportiness and understated elegance.
I deliberately chose the Boxster T model. Within the 718 series, this variant strikes a special chord with me: it’s not about maximizing power at any cost, but rather about an exceptionally harmonious overall package of balance, suspension, manual transmission, mechanical limited-slip differential, and the joy of open-top driving.
Of course, there are faster Porsches. The PDK shifts faster and, objectively speaking, is probably more efficient as well. But that’s not what this car is about.
The appeal of the Boxster T lies in the fact that it still gives the driver something to do, and that’s exactly why I personally would always prefer a T with a manual transmission over a comparable PDK model. It simply embodies the original idea behind this model more consistently.
An exceptionally low-mileage and well-maintained example for someone who isn’t just looking for any 718 Boxster—but specifically a 718 Boxster T with a manual transmission.
