2017 Porsche Boxster S

The 718 generation Boxster S made a convincing case for the switch to forced induction — the 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-four produces 345 bhp with strong mid-range delivery, and the factory-fitted switchable sports exhaust fitted to this car goes some way to restoring the acoustic character critics felt the new engine lost. This 2017 example is finished in an all-black combination: Jet Black Metallic paint, black power hood, and black leather sport seats, with Guards Red seat belts providing the single point of contrast — a detail drawn from Porsche's motorsport-adjacent options list that lifts the otherwise monochrome interior.

At 27,163 miles from new, this is a lightly used car for its age. Its history is well-documented — Paragon previously sold and serviced it, meaning provenance is continuous and verifiable. The factory options list is well-chosen: 20-inch Carrera S wheels finished in black, LED main headlights, heated sport seats and steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, and the 7-speed PDK, which suits the broad power delivery of the turbocharged engine better than the older flat-six suited it.
