Porsche Boxster GTS on Spain's greatest driving roads: bit.ly/WbL7g3
Our search for the world's greatest driving road heads to the Spanish island of Majorca. Can a top-down day in the superb Porsche Boxster GTS lapping up the Mediterranean sun possibly top our time exploring Romania in a Jaguar F-type?

I have an older 986 Boxster and I have done this road, but unfortunately not in the Porsche, but in a hire car! One day perhaps I’ll get there in the Boxster at dawn, but until I do, I’ll just have to keep watching this video!
Here I am, some 5 years later, standing through the test of time marvelling at this masterful piece of cinematography. What an epic drive, more please!

This video did 981 generation justice, not that it was too hard to do as it is just that good. Until 718 gt4 happened, 981 has been THE best in my eyes.

Hey look! A 12 minute video I can watch without paying monthly! Never change EVO, never change
This is honestly one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. The shots, the sounds, the scenery and the car. All perfect together.

That is exactly what I wanted to say. I have watched this over and over, and it only gets better the more I watch it. That car, in that specification, with that sound, honestly I can't think of a better specced Boxter than that. Watching it drive round these beautiful sceneries is, in my mind, the perfect combination. Add to that the dramatic but astounding music, and you've got indeed one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. Keep up the good work Evo, and Henry, thanks for this amazing piece of artistic footage.

For me, still one of the best Porsches going.
I just come back from Mayorca. If you don't have enough money to rent a Porsche, I highly recommend a Mazda MX-5 (from 65€ per day). For me, driving this little toy on twisty roads of Mayorca was one of the best moments in my life. Best vacation destination for a petrolhead :)

Deadly combination
As the others below, I have watched this video numerous times. I have also owned a Boxster GTS similar to the one in this video. Both are really great. I keep thinking that these EVO videos were really a highpoint of this genre. Thankfully, Catchpole is still working his magic.
This little film deserves an award.
The ending suggests to you that the otherworldly imagery of the surroundings is matched only by the haunting sound of this automobile. A sound so animalistic, it almost feels like it is leaving us at the end to return to its home in the wilds of Mallorca. Brilliant.
I drove 718 boxster on this road. This was the gratest driving experience I ever had. Maybe this is not that fast car but has enough power for this road. Just amazing🔥
2016 GTS erhalten....jetzt 2023 immer noch im Besitz................das Video habe ich sicher 50 mal angeschaut, dank dem Viedo bestellt.....alles Richtig gemacht.😊

The Boxster has never been so sexy than in this GTS version !
I wouldn´t have believed that the Boxster with sports exhaust sounds so glorious, very close to Ferrari´s V8s actually. Absolute amazing video, shots, mood, music...a much more complete approach to the topic than the TopGear story of some years ago. Driving heaven!
“You can go no further”, is what I exactly was thinking after the drive and view; nothing else to ask for
Amazing. Just amazing! One of the most beautifully shot (and greatest sounding!) videos on here. Well done Henry and the Evo team. Majorca looks just gorgeous. Who needs Trip Advisor!
still one of my favorite automotive videos
My eyes welled up, the hairs on my arm stood up in applause at the end. BRAVO!
I drove these roads in a Maserati (wish it was with the Porsche I have in LA). Who would had thought a kid from Mexico would be so lucky!
this may just be my favourite driving video ever.
What a great tribute to this car
Man of a few words. Love it. No need to constantly talk. Just let the scenery and exhaust captivate you.
Who ARE the 29 people who 'disliked' this? Are you human? If its not your thing, then its a bit harsh to dislike this quality piece from Evo

Beautiful video. I have been to Mallorca several times but never drove on a road like that. I have a 2022 Porsche Boxster GTS on order for delivery in November. It is Carmine Red with Chalk white leather seats. I love watching this video of what will soon be a similar car that I will own. I ordered the PDK and almost every other option, Thanks.
How did I miss this one? This is the finest piece of automotive journalism on youtube - Chris Harris included.
This has to be one of my absolute favourite car videos.
I am actually booking a holiday to Majorca because of this video!

Engine and exhaust noise can make any driver feel like a race car driver! What a beautiful car!
This is what car lovers video content should be measured against. Please EVO more of these type of videos.
I'm waiting for my 1st Porsche, a Boxster S, to arrive...Wish I could drive this road ! Lovely - just lovely.

Best EVO video I have ever seen. And have been lucky enough to drive on those roads myself... Unfortunately not with a Porsche :(
A truly special piece of film, well done Evo!
These video shots should be on every car video ever made. Very well done.
I have watched this repetitively for more than 20 times lol, Henry, please bring back more "Great Drives" Series :).
Utterly stunning
Wonderful video. Amazing car too. Save the manuals! I laughed out loud when he said, "Whatever he's doing."
I wanna add an extra 👍 every time I watch this. 😁
This video is professional quality and I keep on playing it. Thanks Henry
Amazing video, Porsche GTS and Mallorca scenery!!
This is great piece of art. The car the roads the whole video is pure class, great job.
Two days ago we woke up at 5am in Palma and drove over there in a 911 Carrera Cabriolet (and yes cab is the way to go to hear all the sounds of nature and your sporty car engine sound reverberating against the cliffs). Goats and sheep were the only obstacles. Zero cars or bikes that early. Watched the sunrise at Cap de Formentor with a small crowd then quickly headed down to MA-10 over to Sa Calobra. By the way that early morning MA-10 cutover to Sa Calobra is spectacular in itself if you like speed and long stretches of acceleration. The MA-2141 (road to SC) was also quite empty when we arrived about 7:30am (maybe 1-2 cars in the way but they yielded quickly). Drove down to the bottom and walked over to Torrent de Pareis for a beach rest with my new friend for an hour or so. Empty beach, hearing only waves hitting the sand nothing else. When we decided to go I handed her the keys to drive back up Sa Calobra then all the way back down MA-10 to Andratx (she was overwhelmed). Needless to say, we found our mutual passion for driving together that day.

Unfortunatly not as fun as the Boxster 😂
majestic views and epic roads!
I’ve not watched this before, God knows how I could have missed it, being a Porsche fan. Wow! Fantastic scenery & fantastic car. Beautifully produced video. Absolutely brilliant.
Still a masterpiece of KZread-car-vids!!!
Have been to sa calobra… absolutely stunning and i have to agree, it is not a road anymore, its art
Just stunning every time I watch this.
Perfect combination between car and road.
Great video. Just a word of praise the the camera operators, who are the unsung hero's of good films.While the drivers are enjoying themselves, these Guy's have to wait around for long periods to perfect their art.
Damn, when did Porsche get that attitude!? Love that sound!
If you like Porsche’s the this is probably one of the best videos on KZread - wow, just wow....👍👍👍👍👍
I have watched this 100s times and I love it. I have a similar car and will go there one day!
This is the best ever car / road review vid. Even beats Clarkson's short 'Wonderful, wonderful wonderful' Aston V12 Vantage tribute which was brilliant, but this is so pleasureable to watch again and again. Pure high art...Awesome! 👍🏻😍😄
I do not get easily overexcited, do not post comments everywhere stating how awesome something was, but this really is mind blowing footage. Congrats and many thanks for shooting and posting that. Every element, starting from the choice of the car, the way it was filmed, the soundtrack and finally epic location, they all combine into this masterpiece... Watched it 3 times straight and can not think of anything else than driving one of the new GTS through Mallorca...
Is this a Dean Smith production? If so hats off my man - that was the best EVO video yet in my eyes. Loved the introduction and the videography - liked the classical music too. As said below in more colloquial terms Catchpole you are a jammy, jammy git -good work guys well done...
Love it Henry! Thanks EVO for continuing to provide quality content like this at no cost to us car nuts.
Watched this 8y ago, bought the car drove there… I am now here again watching this and def want to go back and buy another boxster !!
Drove Sa Calobra yesterday. Truly amazing road.
I’m currently wedded to a base 981, but I see a GTS in my future. This video is all the inspiration I need. 👍

Using as a measure this road, this scenery and this cinematography, I have to say that Henry is an amazing storyteller.
Wow, just wow! I had goosebumps watching this and even felt a tear welling up as I was thoroughly envoloped in the beauty of this clip. What an outstanding job EVO continues to do with these films. Henry your reviews are the cream of the crop. Just incredible! Thank you. 😄
That's a magnificent soundtrack paired to stunning images n a brilliant drive!
Bravo Catchpole. A truly excellent viddie.
I think it's more fun to own than a Ferrari, what a legend of driving fun!
The first couple of seconds of this video are enough to fall in love with Porsche and their flat six engines - you don't even need to see the car. Now imagine it being a 718. Makes me wanna go cry in a corner.
Love the great work . Great video as always !
Cairns to port douglas, a drive along the great barrier reef intermixed with rainforest, as amazing as this road is Australia is always forgotten or the great ocean ocean road in victoria
Still one of my all time favourites... Both the video and the Boxster Gts.. I actually got to drive these roads but with traffic. The views were still amazing!
By far the best EVO video of 2014 in my opinion. Henry Catchpole, a manual Porsche Boxster GTS and the most beautiful footage and sound captures. It's perfection :-)
Just stunning! No matter how many times I watch this, it gets me every time and I can't believe it's 9 years old. Beautifully shot, incredible sound and the perfect car for the job. Henry just has a way of bringing life to any video, then and now. A masterpiece by the master! Thank you!
To be really honest, this vid alone is better than any other vid /Drive has ever done, and it's free
When you have watched a video with the 718 boxster and come back to this video afterwards. What a relief :)
Try Crete. They have some amazing roads down there
Just incredible!!! Superb!!!
That was incredible, I couldn't think of a better car for the job
Amazing video!
Great road, photography, and sports car!
Still can't find the music.
Great car, great road and great video!
