Boxster and Boxster S
Suspension.
The suspension of the Boxster
models has been tuned to match
the high performance of the
engines.
Light weight coil- over McPherson
struts are combined with lateral
control arms to ensure excellent
driving dynamics and safet y on
all road surfaces. The axle kine-matics are designed for high
performance, as is the generous
wheel track. Light weight con
-
struction throughout keeps the
overall weight and unsprung
masses low, with almost all mov -
ing parts made from aluminium.
The mid-engine design, in com -
bination with the complex chassis
technology, results in minimum
roll and pitch movements on
cornering, braking and accel -
eration.
The chassis of the Boxster
models ensures high safet y
reserves irrespective of load,
and easily controllable load
transfer when cornering. Corner -
ing stabilit y is exemplary, even
in high-speed bends. The same
applies to straight-line stabilit y.
Steering.
What use is a perfect suspension
setup without perfectly tuned
steering? For Porsche, this would
be inconceivable. The solution
is a steering system which is as
precise and immediate as the
chassis itself and, thanks to the
power assistance, steering ef fort
is reduced to a comfortable
level. Around the straight-ahead
position, such as during motor -
way driving, the ratio is less
direct but with no loss of agilit y
or feedback.
Boxster | Chassis
The greater the steering angle,
the more direct the steering
ratio. This is particularly notice-
able when turning tight corners
or parking. The car has a turning
circle of just 11.1 m.

Water-repellent side windows.
The surfaces of the side windows
are treated with a water-repellent
coating so that not only water but
also dirt runs away more easily,
thereby providing optimum visibil-
it y even in poor weather.
ParkAssist.
As soon as reverse gear is
engaged, the optional Park Assist
is automatically enabled. If you
move too close to an obstacle, a
warning signal begins to sound,
becoming faster until the car stops.
The sensors of the optional
Park Assist are neatly concealed in
the rear bumper.
Anti-theft protection.
The Boxster models are equipped
with an immobiliser with in-
key transponder. In addition, the
Boxster S has an alarm system
with contact-sensitive exterior pro -
tection as standard. On request
,
radar-based interior surveillance
is available which protects
the interior of the vehicle when
the hood is closed. For the
Boxster, the alarm system and
radar interior surveillance are
both available as options.
Boxster | Comfort
Vehicle tracking system.
In conjunction with the alarm
system, this optional preparation
enables future installation of a
vehicle tracking system available
from Porsche Tequipment. It
makes it possible to locate a
stolen vehicle across most of the
countries of Europe. The package
includes a special wiring loom
and a higher-capacit y bat tery.
A tilt sensor is included.
Two luggage compartments.
Two carpet-lined luggage compart -
ments are available. The front
loadspace capacit y is 150 litres,
with 130 litres at the rear –
even when the hood is lowered.
At the front there's enough room
for the large trolley from the
Porsche Travel System, while
the rear can accommodate the
Porsche golf bag. The luggage
compartment covers are made
of light weight aluminium.
A service hatch located in the
rear luggage compartment

enables easy refilling of coolant
and engine oil.
