The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are mid-engine, two-seater sports cars that Porsche made across four generations, the Boxster as a two-door roadster and the Cayman as a three-door fastback coupe. The first Boxster appeared in 1996, the second-generation Boxster and the first Cayman in late 2005, and the third generation in 2012. From 2016 to 2025 they were sold as the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. The Boxster name joins boxer, for its flat engine, with Speedster, and Cayman is another spelling of caiman. Production of both models ceased in October 2025, and chief executive Oliver Blume said full-electric replacements would come in the medium term.
