2010 PORSCHE BOXSTER S height

· 70 ·· 71 ·
What leads us to make a thorough-
bred roadster as comfortable as
possible? Your desire to drive it
every day, in every situation, and
in every season. So the entire
concept of the Boxster is based on intelligent function. And that ’s
evident from the interior too.
All controls are designed and
oriented around the most

important element: the driver.
At Porsche, form follows function
– and the driver.
The front centre console includes
the CDR-30 audio system with
single CD drive as standard. Or
alternatively, the optional Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM, p. 83). The climate controls,
switch panel and a storage
compartment are also integrated
into the new centre console.
The seats offer excellent support,
even during high-speed corner -
ing, and have a wide adjustment
range. The roomy interior means
that even taller drivers can
find their ideal seating position.

The steering wheel with height
and reach adjustments, and the
position of the pedals contribute
to the comfortable drive.
All materials are carefully selected
for their visual and tactile
qualities and create an unique
atmo sphere. Even when your
entire concentration is on the road.

Standard seats.
The standard seats with centre
upholstered in Alcantara of fer
a high degree of comfort with
good lateral support and opti-
mised under-seat suspension.
Through bends, your seat gives
you a feeling of securit y with-
out restriction. The seats are
equipped as standard with

manual height and fore/aft adjust -
ment and an electric backrest
adjustment, enabling virtually
every driver to find the ideal seat
position, regardless of physical
build.
Comfort seats with driver
memory.
Comfort seats with electric fore/
aft, height, backrest and lumbar
support adjustment are available
as an option. The tilt angle of the
seat squab is also electrically
adjustable. The memory function
supports the exterior mirrors
and all seat positions on the
driver’s side. Using the control
switches in the door panel, it
is possible to restore one of t wo
personalised set tings. Addition -
ally, you can store a further seat
position in each of the ignition
keys. As soon as you unlock the
door using the key remote, the
driver’s seat and exterior mirrors
resume their stored position.
Sports seats.
The optional sports seats have
firmer leather upholstery than
the standard design. Higher side
bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest provide additional lateral
support. The seat height and
fore/aft position are adjusted
manually, the backrest electrically.
Adaptive sports seats with
driver memory.
The optional adaptive sports
seats in leather upholstery

combine excellent comfort with
first-rate track performance.
Boxster | Comfort
Along with all the adjustment
features of the comfort seats,
the side bolsters on the seat
surface and backrest are indi -
vidually electrically adjustable,
for increased comfort on long
journeys and tailor-made lateral
support through bends or on

the racetrack. The memory func -
tion supports the exterior mirrors
and all driver’s seat positions,
apart from the side bolsters.
Sports bucket seats.*
For the ultimate sports experience,
you could opt for sports bucket
seats with a folding backrest,
integral thorax airbag and manual
fore/af t adjustment. The backrest
shell is made from glass/carbon-
fibre-reinforced plastic and has
a st ylish carbon -weave finish. The
backrest pivots are positioned
high in the side bolsters to provide
lateral support to the pelvic region
characteristic of a race seat. The seat upholstery is of fered

in all available leather t ypes and
colours.
Seat heating and ventilation.
As an option, all compatible
seats – apart from sports bucket
seats – can be equipped with
t wo -level seat heating. Seat venti-
lation for the standard seats and
comfort seats is also available
as an option (only in conjunction
with heated seats, automatic
climate control, and part- or full-
leather interior). A slipstream
effect evaporates perspiration
moisture – for a comfortable
seating environment. Ventilation
intensit y can be set to any of
three levels.
Materials.
As well as the leather steering
wheel rim, gear/selector lever,
handbrake lever and door handle,
the Boxster S has leather trim
on the lids of the storage com -
partments in the door and the
centre rear console. Leather
upholstery is available as an
optional extra. On request, further
trim elements can also be leather-
finished or individualised with
wood, carbon or Aluminium Look
finish. (For further information
please see pages 112 to 116 and
the Porsche Exclusive Boxster
catalogue with current price list.)
