How Was It Driving a Porsche Boxster at Suzuka Circuit?

Suzuka Circuit Driving Event The other day, my husband participated in a driving event at Suzuka Circuit with his Boxster GTS. The only available date for participation was for an event hosted by a certain tuning shop, so while most of the cars around were Japanese custom cars, only my husband and his friend brought their completely stock Porsche to join. (He said he felt pretty out of place, lol) That day, it was a...

Investigating the Auto-Blipping Function on the Porsche Boxster (981 & 718)

Auto-Blipping on the Boxster The other day, while practicing driving the Boxster GTS (MT), I wrote that “it’s fun how the car automatically blips the throttle in Sport Plus mode when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package on a manual transmission.” After that, a reader commented: Does auto-blipping also work in Sport mode, not just Sport Plus? The 718 Cayman brochure says that with the Sport Chrono Package, auto-blipping occurs even in Sport mode. A...

The Last Naturally Aspirated 6-Cylinder: An Owner’s Take on the 981 Boxster GTS

MY 2016 Boxster Our 2016 Boxster GTS (MT) is the first Porsche my husband ever bought. Nowadays, with Porsche focusing more on the environment, the Boxster—led by the 911—is moving towards turbocharging and downsizing, so this 2016 Boxster is said to be the last model equipped with a six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.(The current 718 Boxster has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine) *Photo courtesy of Twitter user Aitan Kai@ConeManLP826 .
