2010 PORSCHE BOXSTER S handbrake

· 22 ·· 23 ·
The flagship model in the Boxster
range has also evolved: the
Boxster S. It presents an even
more athletic interpretation
of the roadster concept. More
powerful and more ef ficient. Its
engine is fit ted with direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 28) as standard. For increased torque and power
– with a simultaneous reduction
in fuel consumption. The result is
228 kW (310 hp) at 6,400 rpm
and a maximum torque of 360 Nm
at 4,400 –5,500 rpm. It acceler -
ates from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph)
in just 5.3 seconds. With the
optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
Like a shot of adrenalin.
Intravenously.
The Boxster S.
(PDK, p. 42) and ‘Launch Control’
from the optional Sport Chrono
Package, just 5 seconds. Com-
pared with the previous model,
fuel consumption has been
reduced by up to 15 % depending
on the t ype of gearbox fit ted,
and CO2 emissions by up to 16 %.

As well as the 18-inch Boxster S II
wheels in a dynamic design, the
Boxster S is fit ted with a power -
ful braking system which is
distinguished by its red-painted
calipers. The rear brake discs
are thicker than those on the
Boxster for increased stabilit y
under braking. The front air intake grilles are
painted black for a striking con
-
trast. Together with the centrally
mounted t win tailpipe, they give
the car a powerful presence.

In the interior, as well as leather
on the steering wheel, PDK selec -
tor/gear lever, handbrake lever
and door handle, the Boxster S
has leather trim on the storage
compartment covers in the door
and the rear centre console. The
instrument dials are aluminium -
coloured.

These are just the facts. To expe
-
rience the performance of the
Boxster S, we can only of fer one
piece of advice: you really need
to drive it.
