This is the new 718 Porsche Boxster S. It's light, tight, and fast, and for the first time in over 20 years, features a four-cylinder engine in a Porsche road car. The 2.5L Turboharged flat-four engine makes 350 HP and 310 lb/ft, and mated to the always impressive PDK gearbox, makes for a proper rocket of a roadster. Once you get used to the new sound, the performance and refinement of the gold standard of roadsters is hard to ignore.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Porsche flew me to Portugal, fed me, and put me in the Intercontinental Hotel Estoril for this review.
