PASM adaptive dampers standard, lowered over the base/S.
Vented cast-iron discs sized to output; PCCB carbon-ceramic optional.
The 718 Boxster GTS (2018–2019) is the top turbo-four 982 roadster, using the 2.5-liter flat-four turned up over the S — mainly via a new intake duct and higher boost, with peak torque held over a wider rpm band. PASM adaptive dampers are standard and the body sits lower. Rear-wheel drive, 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK.
This is the turbocharged GTS; from 2020 it was replaced by the naturally aspirated flat-six GTS 4.0. Buyers choosing between the two are really choosing turbo-four torque and efficiency against the six's sound and top-end response.

This earlier GTS (2018–2019) is the turbo flat-four. From 2020 the GTS 4.0 switched to the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, which enthusiasts generally prefer for sound and top-end response and which brought the manual back to the GTS. Same GTS positioning, different engine.
