Porsche made one of the best new convertibles ever

Aaron Brown/Tech Insider

For the 2017 model year, the Porsche Boxster received a new motor, it's been renamed to be the Porsche 718 Boxster, and it's been slightly redesigned to keep its looks fresh and current. It starts at $56,000.

As a fun, extremely quick, responsive, and luxurious summer car, the new 718 Boxster is on top of the game for convertibles.

The car we checked out was the S model.

The 718 Boxster S has 350 horsepower, while the base model has 300 horsepower. That's a pretty decent jump.

The Lava Orange color you see here is a $2,580 special order option.

The taillights and spoiler were slightly redesigned from last year's model.
