Interior.
The interior of the new Boxster models
delivers exactly what the exterior
promises. Light, uncluttered and defined;
everything is conceived with one goal in
mind: the perfect drive.
The power, the contouring, the driver’s
vision, indeed the entire concept, are all
drawn in the direction of travel. The intel -
ligent operating concept and the logical
arrangement of the controls keep the
driver’s concentration purely on the road.
The elevated centre console cocoons the
driver perfectly and reduces the distance
from the steering wheel to the gear lever
for fast and ergonomic gearshifts. It ’s just
one of many principles that we’ve trans -
ferred from the racetrack to the road.
The door st yling is similarly dynamic. The
door pulls mirror the lines of the centre
console and blend seamlessly into the
distinctive design. The door storage com -
partments are sweeping and practical.

As you would expect from a sports car,
the driver sits low down. Sports seats
are fit ted as standard. The athletic pro -
portions of the new Boxster models made
it possible to introduce a new interior
architecture. The result is a feeling of
space and light without compromising
the authentic roadster experience.
Are you ready to assert your independ -
ence? The ignition lock, as ever, is on the
left. The three-spoke sports steering
wheel falls perfectly to hand. As is t ypical
of a Boxster, there are three circular dash -
board instruments. The instrument on the
right is now a 4.6-inch TFT screen that
shows information from the on-board
computer or audio information from the
CDR audio system, which is fit ted as
standard. An inconspicuous shroud shades
the instruments for optimum visibility.
The steering wheel rim, gear lever/selec -
tor and door pull inlays are finished in
tactile leather. Silver-coloured details add
to the refined tone; these include the

dashboard trim strip, the side and centre
air vent surrounds and the centre con -
sole. As an option, the sport y elegance
of the new Boxster models can be fur -
ther enhanced with a comprehensive
suite of interior trims and upholsteries.

stered in smooth -finish leather. The side

Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters.
On request, we can equip all our seats
with seat ventilation (only in conjunction
with seat heating). A slipstream effect is produced by active ventilation of the

perforated seat centre and backrest and
by passive aeration at the side bolsters.
This evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and
pleasant seating environment, even in
hot weather.

Child seats.
A Boxster should be enjoyed by passen -
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat
preparation is available as an option and
includes a deactivation function for the
passenger airbag.

The automatic air-recirculation function
permanently monitors air quality, reduces humidit y and switches from fresh to

function makes it possible to use the
residual heat of the engine to heat
the passenger compartment for up to
20 minutes with the ignition switched off.
Storage compartments.
Ingenious storage solutions create plent y
of space: the lockable glove compart -
ment, the compartment with a power
socket under the armrest in the rear

partment to the front of it. In conjunction
with the smoking package, the uncovered

runs away more easily, thereby providing
clearer visibilit y even in poor weather.
