Boxster | Environment
Boxster S
In the Boxster models approxi -
mately 20 % of components are
made from light weight alloys.
We use only innovative and envi -
ronmentally friendly components,
and each material is labelled
to facilitate its separation for
recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet exacting
technical requirements. In all,
the Boxster models are approxi -
mately 95 % recyclable.

In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints. The Boxster models
are absolutely free of asbestos,
CFCs and components manufac -
t
ured using CFCs. This is because,
here at Porsche, environmental
protection does not begin at the
end of a vehicle’s life. It starts
at the planning and development
stage.
Fuel.
Both Boxster models are already
designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to
10 %. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO2 balance since
the plants cultivated for the
production of this biofuel also
absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

The release of hydrocarbons
from the fuel system has been
minimised thanks to the active
carbon filter and a special coating
on the fuel tank. All fuel lines
are made of aluminium and multi-
layered plastic.
.
Noise.
The Boxster models comply
with all applicable noise regula -
tions without any form of engine
encapsulation. To achieve this,
noises are eliminated at source.
Engine parts are stif f, moving
parts are light weight and toler-
ances are kept to a minimum.
Large-volume silencers and reso -
nators in the air intake system
minimise noise further. For the
entire service life of the vehicle.
Maintenance.
Long service intervals offer
clear advantages. For you: lower
costs and saved time. For the
environment: the use of fewer
consuables and replacement
parts. For full details of service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.
