The Porsche They Wouldn't Let Me Buy, Boxster GTS 4.0

Sadly, the allocations got cut short for the Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0 thanks to global subtly chain issues and an unfortunate ship full of Porsches sinking, just as I was getting ready to put my order in. I missed my chance to build the best one of these on the road but I got my hands on one in Dubai just to see what I was missing.
I said straight six when talking about the engine but I of course meant a flat six, slip of the tongue on site 🤦‍♂️

The 718 GTS 4.0 Cayman and Boxster are absolute future classics. With that perfect flat 6 4.0 liter engine and manual transmission all in mid-engine platform. Just perfect at 100-110 US. Nowhere to go but up! Great car.

King and Titan going international ! The red interior absolutely sets it apart

[@KingandTitanRacing]

I assume you don’t mean on my Miami Blue spec? That would be a bit much I think having blue, yellow and red. But on this car it’s been optioned very nicely, certainly suits the silver very well.

[@Kapil-Patel]

very cool review 👍🏽 it's a shame they couldn't build yours. Looking forward to the next one mate, cheers.

[@KingandTitanRacing]

Thanks! I’d love to do a Targa in the same spec but that’s another £60K so definite hotels out of budget for now.

[@MrGeorge4222]

That Miami Blue is gorgeous, to the extent that if my car were that colour I think it would take over my entire life and from that point forward every accessory I own would need to follow the colour scheme... watch, phone case, laptop, clothes, would all need to be that blue. And then I would drive around listening to Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee).

[@KingandTitanRacing]

That would certainly be a way to identify with your car at a meet! And here I am wondering if my Aston Martin gilet is a bit much. 😂

[@jenniferharris7633]

DO NOT FRET. Porsche has extended the gas model 718 for one more year, 2025 being the final year. Of course, you probably already know this by now.

[@KingandTitanRacing]

@@jenniferharris7633 I didn’t know that but I called Porsche as soon as I saw this comment. Officially there hasn’t been any communication from Porsche to the dealers about continued production but it is rumoured. The problem is the GTS allocations were cut ages ago, I think they have a separate (or separated) production line. I’ve asked to be told if they do have any new allocations but I can’t imagine they’ll add them back again. Fingers crossed!

[@jenniferharris7633]

@@KingandTitanRacing The 2025 models and options are on the Porsche North America website, and my SA confirmed it last week, but he doesn't know about allocation numbers. What caught my attention was the new addition of the color option Vanadium Gray Metallic. Beyond gorgeous.

[@Gobberee]

they only produce RS versions now, both in spyder or coupe variants, gtc 4.0 is gone forever.

[@MrRoyck10]

May I respectfully reiterate that the world is flat!!!

[@janneshildebrandt1]

You got the engine configuration completly wrong, its a flat six Not a straight six engine. A straight six Zylinder engine wouldnt fit in a cayman at all…

[@KingandTitanRacing]

Yes I noticed that afterwards, slip of tongue on site and not much I can do after it goes live sadly as you can’t make edits. Very good spot though and thanks for pointing it out.

[@tamasszabo8824]

Good point, but Lamborghini fit a transverse V12 in the Miura in 1966.

[@InconsequentialDot]

Flat six my friend, not straight six. This is a major sin in Porsche world. Looking forward to see your channel grow.

[@KingandTitanRacing]

I know.. such a face palm moment when I was editing that and realised. Can I put it down to sun stroke? 😂 I definitely should have known better having the full sales pack for the GTS in my coffee table since its release. Thanks for the support though! 👍

[@ddxxbb1]

What’s the price of this car with its current configuration?

[@KingandTitanRacing]

Best guess based on the options and colour/ materials combo would be £83,250 in the UK. This car was sold in Dubai though so couldn’t make a guess at what it would cost there without VAT on it.

[@ddxxbb1]

@@KingandTitanRacing I’m from Dubai, do you have any experience with the Porsche agency in Dubai? If I used their online configuration which shows prices in UAE Dirhams will they charge the same price or add a huge markup?

[@KingandTitanRacing]

@@ddxxbb1 I don’t know I’m afraid but if you see one you like and agree a price, get it in writing that’s what you’re agreeing and the total list of fees and transaction costs. That’s always a good start at least.

[@HoirkmanS]

Redline is 7800 rpm

[@lefuedebout]

... you lost me at " should be covered in Alcantara " 😞

[@KingandTitanRacing]

You’re not a fan? One of the things I love the most for a fast GT car, doesn’t get hot in the sun and you get so much more grip from the seats and wheel.

[@tamasszabo8824]

Spyder RS is still available, but very expensive.

[@KingandTitanRacing]

Yeah and that carbon bonnet is brilliant, but more than double the price! 😂

[@tamasszabo8824]

Hey genius, please learn to correctly pronounce the marque of the car you are reviewing. It’s two syllables, not one. It’s NOT “Porsh “.
