Porsche Boxster S (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 09 March 2012 07:00

This is the all-new Porsche Boxster, the third generation of Porsche’s mid-engined drop-top. Just like its big brother, the 991-gen Porsche 911, there are big changes afoot: a new aluminium/steel hybrid bodyshell, significantly tweaked vital stats, a base engine that gets 200cc smaller while also gaining performance, and new electromechanical steering. Read on for our first drive review of the ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 16 August 2011 09:00

The Cayenne is the Porsche we all loved to hate. But is the Cayenne SUV now firmly accepted in the Porsche firmamentr? After all, most now understand the well worn argument that it funds the sports cars we all love. Porsche has built twice as many 4x4s as any other single model line so far this year, for crying out loud. So ...

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 03 December 2009 18:00

Is the new Porsche Boxster Spyder the best Boxster you can buy, or the worst? Rather than being a stickers and stripes special edition, or an expensive limited-run like the 911 Sport Classic, the Spyder joins the Boxster range as a third model. And it features some clever weight saving tech that cleaves 80 kilos from the kerbweight – at ...

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 18 June 2009 13:00

You know a car is long awaited when it’s given an entire engine transplant before it’s even been launched. CAR first rode in the new Porsche Cayenne Hybrid back in July 2007. Two years later, it’s still not on sale and now it’s been transformed from a 3.6 V6 into the Cayenne S Hybrid toting Audi’s new 3.0-litre supercharged V6. ...

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 04 December 2008 12:30

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...

Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 27 March 2008 09:52

Should Porsche dabble with special editions that raid its historical back catalogue? We've just driven the new Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder - the car that takes its name from the Porsche Type 718 RS 60 Spyder, the racer that Hans Herrmann and Olivier Gendebien drove to outright victory in the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring. At £45,400 the RS ...

Porsche Cayman S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 24 July 2006 05:21

Ahh, the Porsche Boxster coupe. Yes, it's been a long time coming but I think Porsche would rather you didn't mention the B word if you don't mind - just in case people start questioning why the Cayman S costs £4k more than a Boxster S. What? I thought coupes were supposed to be cheaper than convertibles, what with having ...
