2011 PORSCHE BOXSTER S key

20212021
What use is expertise if it isn’t put into
practice and applied to the road?
In the Boxster, the 2.7-litre horizontally
opposed six cylinder engine delivers
195 kW (265 hp); in the Boxster S, the
3.4 - litre equivalent generates 232 kW
(315 hp). Both mid-mounted engines
feature direct fuel injection (DFI) and Vario -
Cam Plus for a significant increase in both
power output and efficiency. The SPORT
but ton on the centre console is fit ted
as standard and opens up even more agile
responses. Power is transmit ted to the
wheels by a light weight six-speed manual
gearbox or the optional 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK).
A series of innovative technologies is key
to achieving exemplary efficiency. As
standard, these include the auto start/stop
function, electrical system recuperation,
energy-saving electromechanical power
steering, intelligent thermal management
and, in conjunction with PDK, the coast -
ing function. The result, The result is a
significant reduction in fuel consumption
and, therefore, a reduction in CO
2 emis -
sions of up to 16 % compared with the
previous model (depending on the equip -
ment variant).
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
provides stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Available as an option,

Engineering.
enhanced Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) of fers continuous
adjustment of damping forces based on
the selected mode. Dynamic per formance
can be further improved with optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). The
optional Sport Chrono Package includes
dynamic gearbox mounts for the first
time. They contain a fluid with magnetic
properties, which enables them to adapt
instantly to driving conditions and counter -
act the effects of inertia. The results are
perceptibly more stable handling during
performance driving, as well as a higher
level of ride comfort. The brakes at the front axle have a
greater
surface area for improved braking perfor -
mance. The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is available as
an option.
The hood on the new Boxster models
makes it easy to clear your head. Fully
electric, it opens and closes in around nine
seconds and is operable up to a speed of
approx. 30 mph (50 km/ h).
The intelligent lightweight construction,
which uses aluminium for substantial
parts of the bodyshell, doors and luggage
compartment lids, helps to achieve an
excellent power-to-weight ratio.

Engine
At Porsche, the mid-mounted boxer engine
is more than a tradition, it is a legend.
One of the most renowned examples of its
use was in the 550 Spyder. In conjunction
with an intelligent lightweight construction,
this arrangement delivered outstanding
agility and cornering dynamics and proved
to be a key factor in the countless victo -
ries achieved on some of the world’s
most famous racetracks. In the 1960s,
the 718 RS 60 Spyder contributed to the
triumphant success of the mid-engined
race car with wins in hillclimbing and
endurance events. The mid-mounted engine belongs at

Porsche and it belongs in the Boxster.
The advantages speak for themselves.
The concentration of mass close to the
centre of the vehicle and the low centre
of gravit y produce extraordinary agilit y
and cornering dynamics. At the same
time, weight is uniformly distributed
bet ween the front and rear axles and
handling characteristics are particularly
well balanced. The combined result
enables the driver fully enjoy every
corner and maintain excellent control
over the vehicle.
Always mid- engined.
Never middle ground.
Boxer engines.
For us, there are many reasons to remain
faithful to the mid-mounted engine con -
cept, to keep transferring performance
from the racetrack to the road and to
continue to combine tradition with innova -
tion. How do we do it? Through Intelligent
Performance, our commitment to high
power with comparatively low fuel
consumption and emission figures.
With this aim, we developed t wo compact
and light weight boxer engines that are
characterised by their ability to deliver
high levels of power and efficiency simul -
taneously. Both engines are equipped
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions please refer to page 127. with ef ficient technologies as standard,
including VarioCam Plus, direct fuel

injection (DFI), auto start/stop, electrical
system recuperation and enhanced
thermal management.
What else could we have given the
mid-mounted engine? An even more agile
response. One press of the SPORT
but ton on the centre console makes
engine performance even more dynamic
for driving pleasure at the limits of
performance. Let ’s take a look in more
detail.

Chassis
Another key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence

of this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads,
as well as greater agilit y and improved
handling. Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance

driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional
high-performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake compo
-
nents be professionally inspected and
replaced where necessary after every
track event.
Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which can
be activated and deactivated manually,
is released automatically as you pull
away with your seat belt fastened. A hill
hold function is integrated as standard for the manual gearbox and for PDK.
It assists you in making a comfortable,
smooth and roll-free start on an incline.
Whenever you come to halt on an incline,
this is detected automatically and the
braking effect of the electric parking brake is supplemented by application

of the wheel brakes. As long as a gear
remains engaged, the brake pressure
is maintained at all four wheels. To pull
away, simply apply throttle (manual gearbox: apply throt tle and release the
clutch pedal). The wheel brakes are
released as soon as sufficient starting
torque is available and the parking brake
is released as the vehicle moves off.

Air conditioning system.
An air conditioning system with integrated
active carbon filter is fit ted as standard.
The filter traps particles, pollen and
odours. The ventilation pat tern is wide and
the air conditioning is quiet and effective.
Two-zone automatic climate control.
Two-zone automatic climate control is
available as an option. It provides an
enhanced ventilation effect and has sepa -
rate temperature controls for the driver
and front passenger. The available air
conditioning modes are gentle, normal
and strong.
The automatic air-recirculation function
permanently monitors air quality, reduces humidit y and switches from fresh to

recirculated air when required. Another
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
centre console and the uncovered com -
partment to the front of it. In conjunction
with the smoking package, the uncovered
compartment makes way for an ashtray
with a lid. Other storage features include
t wo compartments in each door, a net in
the passenger foot well, clothes hooks on
the seat backrests and t wo practical
cupholders above the glove compartment.
Light design package.
The optional light design package
comprises dimmable LEDs in the door
panels, overhead console and footwells.
LED lighting in the luggage compart -
ments is additionally included.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
The ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day time
running lights for a user-defined period
whenever the vehicle is opened or closed
using the key remote.
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
clearer visibilit y even in poor weather.
