Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

The Porsche 718 Boxster, introduced in 2016 as a successor to the original Boxster line, marks a significant evolution in Porsche's mid-engine roadster lineup. Produced from 2016 to the present, it reintroduced the "718" name, paying homage to the historic Porsche 718 race cars of the 1950s and 1960s. While exact production numbers are not publicly detailed, estimates suggest tens of thousands of units have been built globally across its variants, making it less rare than some limited-run exotics but still exclusive within the Porsche family.
Key models feature turbocharged flat-four engines, ranging from 2.0L (300 hp) in base trims to 2.5L (350-365 hp) in S and GTS versions, with later 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and Spyder variants offering a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six (394-399 hp). Performance highlights include 0-60 mph times as low as 3.9 seconds in top trims. For collectors, the 718 Spyder and limited-run 25 Years edition (celebrating the Boxster’s 25th anniversary in 2021, with only 1,250 units) are particularly notable for rarity and rising value trends. Its historical significance lies in blending Porsche’s racing heritage with modern engineering, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a balance of performance and exclusivity.
