Boxster S in Guards RedAir intake grilles
Exterior mirrorRear light module
The standard Porsche Stabilit y 
Management (PSM, p. 63) further 
enhances active safet y with its 
brake assist feature and a pre-
charging function which increases 
braking system readiness.
 
The design of the Boxster models 
is governed by one philosophy 
above all: that the st yling of a 
 
Porsche reflects its inner values. 
Here, the primary value is extreme 
performance.
In the interior, the elegant sports 
st yling is coupled with a high 
degree of practicalit y. All the 
important functions are intuitive 
to control, including the optional 
Porsche Communication Manage -
ment (PCM, p. 83) with 6.5-inch 
touchscreen and CD/ DVD drive 
with navigation module. 
 In conjunction with the PCM, the 
optional BOSE
® Surround Sound 
System supports 5.1 surround 
sound.
 
A rhetorical question: What would 
you do if we were to give you   
the key now?
A real roadster is like true love:   
you recognise it at first glance.
Design.
This concept also follows a   
traditional Porsche theme: the 
seamless blend of function   
and design. Visually exciting  
with performance to match.
The emphasis on high perform -
ance is immediately evident  
from the front, where large air 
intakes in a powerful geometric 
design lend both Boxster models 
a dynamic look – and increase 
cooling power. On the Boxster,   
the air intake grilles are finished 
in the exterior colour, whereas   
on the Boxster S they are con-
trasted in sporting black. The 
athletic 
appearance is comple -
mented by 
striking spoiler lips. 
The t wo models have a drag 
coefficient 
value of 0.29 and 
0.30, respectively.
  At the front, the headlight design 
makes the Boxster models unmis
-
takable – especially at night.  
The Boxster models are fit ted as 
standard with halogen headlights 
and LED day time running lights 
integrated separately into the clus- 
ters above the outer air intakes. 
Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic 
cornering lights, including LED 
day time running lights, are avail -
able on request. The dynamic 
headlight design emphasises the 
striking contour of the wing.
 
The rear features LED taillight 
modules that blend harmoniously 
with the overall design. The   
centrally located stainless steel 
tailpipe – t win tailpipes on the 
Boxster S – and the rear diffusers 
finished in sporting black com -
plete the powerful look. The 
dynamic presence of the Boxster 
models is further emphasised   
by the clean, neat design of the 
wheels. The Boxster is fit ted with 
17-inch wheels as standard, the 
Boxster S with 18-inch wheels.   
A 19-inch option is available for 
both models.
  In short, although we rarely stick 
to the rules, we have observed 
one: form follows function. Design 
and functionalit y are combined 
perfectly in the Boxster models.

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.

· 84 ·· 85 ·
Radio functions include up to  
42 memory presets and an FM 
dual tuner with RDS and fre -
quency diversit y, which continu -
ously scans in the background 
for the best signal. The integrated single CD/ DVD 
drive – in combination with the 
optional BOSE
® Surround Sound 
System – is also able to play 
back music from audio and video 
DVDs in the 5.1 digital surround 
format. An integrated six-disc 
CD/ DVD autochanger with MP3 
compatibilit y is also available as 
an option for the PCM.
Navigation module for PCM.
The GPS navigation module 
included with the optional PCM 
now has an internal hard drive 
containing maps for most Euro
-
pean countries.
Boxster  |  Comfort
A touchscreen enables rapid  
destination input and instant   
viewing of traf fic information and 
points of interest (POIs) by simply 
allowing you to touch the symbols 
on the map. Route diversions,   
e.g. the nearest service stations, 
can therefore be incorporated 
quickly and easily into the current 
route guidance.
When viewing a map, it is pos -
sible to select bet ween a 3D   
perspective and the 2D display. 
At motorway exits, graphical 
 
turn indications are displayed for 
bet ter orientation. In splitscreen 
mode, you can choose to display 
not only the current map over-
view, but also a list of icons that 
represent dynamic route guidance.
Electronic logbook for PCM.
The optional electronic logbook 
enables automatic recording of 
relevant driving data. Once you 
have downloaded the logbooks 
via Bluetooth® or the optional 
USB interface, you can evaluate 
them on your home PC using 
  the sof t ware supplied (sof t ware 
complies with all statutory 
requirements for automatic log-
books as specified by the 
 
German revenue authorities).
TV tuner.
A T V tuner, available as an option, 
receives free-to -air analogue and 
digital broadcasts (DVB-T) and 
provides entertainment bet ween 
journeys. For your safet y, the   
T V picture cannot be displayed 
while the vehicle is in motion.
Voice control system.
Almost all of the functions of the 
PCM can be controlled using   
the latest optional voice control 
system with word-by-word input. 
The menu item is read aloud 
exactly as it is displayed on the 
screen and the voice control 
system recognises commands or 
sequences of numbers, whoever 
the speaker. It then gives an 
audible acknowledgement and 
carries out the functions you 
request. There is no need to ‘train’ 
the system.
Telephone module for PCM.*
Available as an option, the quad-
band GSM telephone module 
of fers convenience and excellent 
reception. Hands-free calls can 
be made by inserting a SIM card 
directly into the PCM’s integral 
SIM card reader. And for even 
more convenience, the Bluetooth® 
capabilit y of your mobile phone 
can be used to make calls through 
the SIM Access Profile (SAP).  
Once automatic pairing is com -
plete, the mobile phone’s aerial is 
switched off to conserve bat tery 
charge and the phone operates 
via the car aerial. Depending 
 
on the t ype of mobile phone, this 
gives access not only to the  
numbers on the SIM card, but also 
to the phone’s internal memory.
