Sport Chrono Package.
The Boxster combines open -top
driving with performance which
at Porsche has its origins on the
racetrack.
As an option, for both models we
offer the Sport Chrono Package
which enables even sportier tuning
of the chassis and engine and
guarantees even more driving
pleasure.
Selecting the SPORT but ton

on the centre console activates
‘Sport ’ mode, which makes
throt tle the response significantly
more immediate, adjusts the
rev-limiter to a harder set ting,
and tunes the engine dynamics
for performance driving.
The optional Porsche Active

Suspension Management (PASM)
also switches to ‘Sport ’ mode,
which of fers harder damping and
more direct steering and, there-
fore, bet ter road holding.

With the optional PDK in auto -
matic mode, gearshif t points are
delayed until the upper rev range.
The shif t times are shorter, the
gear changes sportier. At low rates
of deceleration, the system
initiates a swif ter, brake-induced
downshift. In manual mode, gear
changes are faster and more
dynamic.
In ‘Sport ’ mode, the PSM (p. 63)
intervenes later for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics.
PSM now affords greater
manoeuvrabilit y under braking
and exit acceleration, especially
at low speeds.
For maximum dexterit y, PSM can
be set to standby while the car is
still in ‘Sport ’ mode (p. 63). For
safet y, it is set to intervene auto -
matically only when ABS assist -
ance is required on both the front
wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package is the swivel-
mounted in the centre of the
dashboard with analogue and
digital display.
In combination with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
the Sport Chrono Package of fers
t wo additional functions that
are activated by the SPORT PLUS
but ton.
First, ‘Launch Control’, which
ensures you achieve the fastest
possible rate of acceleration
from a standing start – on the
race track, for example. ‘Launch
Control’ is operated via the
SPORT PLUS but ton with the ‘D’
or ‘M’ drive position selected.
Whilst the driver depresses the
brake pedal with the left foot,
the right foot depresses the
accelerator pedal to the floor.
With the accelerator in the kick -
down position, the system
detects the driver’s request for
Launch Mode and revs the
engine to an optimum speed of
approximately 6,500 rpm.
Boxster | Chassis
Engine torque increases and the
clutch closes slightly. The mes -
sage ‘Launch Control ’ appears
in the display on the PDK steer -
ing wheel. The driver now quickly
releases the brake – and pre -
pares for maximum acceleration.

Second, the ‘motorsport- derived
gearshif t strategy’. Using this,
PDK is geared up for maximum
shif t speed, the shortest possible
shif t times and optimum shif t
points for maximum acceleration
– ideal for the racetrack.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
On request, the optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, p. 83) can be combined
with the Sport Chrono Package
Plus. In addition to the functions
of the Sport Chrono Package,
it includes a personal memory
function in the PCM and a per-
formance display for evaluating
lap times.

Porsche and sound – inseparable
– not only in terms of the engine,
but also in the interior acoustics.
The audio system is specially
adapted to the Boxster models.
The result is a rich and more
enjoyable sound – both inside
and outside the car.
CDR-30 audio system.
Both Boxster models are equipped
as standard with the CDR-30
audio system with 5-inch display
(monochrome) and MP3-com -
patible CD drive. An integrated
six-disc CD autochanger is avail -
able as an option.

Calling the tune,
even when it comes to communication.
The FM dual tuner with RDS
diversit y, a total of 30 memory
presets, dynamic autostore

and speed-sensitive volume con -
trol are, as usual, all part of the
standard package. Just like the
high-qualit y sound, which is deliv -
ered by t wo high-range speakers
in the dashboard, t wo low-range
speakers in the door trims and
t wo 25-wat t output stages. For
an even more impressive sound
experience, you could opt for
the Sound Package Plus or BOSE®
Surround Sound System.
Controlling the CDR-30 audio
system could not be more simple:
the function keys ensure that all
the main functions are directly at
your finger-tips, and it is also pos -
sible to conveniently control all
of the most important functions
using the but tons on the optional
multifunction steering wheels.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including
navigation module.
PCM is available on request for
both Boxster models. As the
central information and communi -
cations system, it can be used
for many dif ferent applications
and its ergonomic design makes
it easy and comfortable to
operate.

Boxster | Comfort
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
colour touchscreen with a
durable, easy-to - clean coating.
Functional, innovative and easy
to use, you will find the display
very clearly presented and a
maximum of five list entries per
page enable you to operate the
unit quickly and safely. Alterna -
tively, you can also operate the
PCM using conventional but ton
controls.
