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

Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
The new Boxster models are equipped
as standard with electrically adjustable
and heated exterior mirrors.
Available as an option, electrically folding
exterior mirrors with door courtesy light -
ing on both sides of the vehicle make it
easier to find your way in the dark.
An auto-dimming function for the exterior
mirrors and rear-view mirror with an
integrated rain sensor for the windscreen
wipers, is available as an option.
ParkAssist.
Optional ParkAssist is activated the
moment you select reverse gear.
An audible signal gives a warning if you
reverse too close to an obstacle.
An enhanced version of Park Assist also
provides monitoring of the area to the front of the vehicle. Ultrasonic sensors
are neatly integrated into the front and
rear aprons. The audible alert is supple
-
mented by a visual warning in the central
display of the CDR audio system or option -
al
PCM, which shows a graphical repre -
sentation of the vehicle from overhead.
HomeLink®
(programmable garage door opener).
The optional programmable garage door
opener is integrated into the overhead
console and remotely controls up to
three different garage doors, gates, home
lighting and/or alarm systems.
Anti-theft protection.
Both new Boxster models are equipped
as standard with an immobiliser with in-
key transponder and an alarm system
with contact-sensitive exterior protection.
Preparation Vehicle Tracking System
(PV TS).
This standard preparation enables future
installation of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking
System (PV TS) available from Porsche
Tequipment. The system makes it possible
to locate a stolen vehicle across most of
the countries of Europe. The preparation
package includes a special wiring loom
and a tilt sensor for the alarm system.
Two luggage compartments.
The t wo luggage compartments are
further proof that the Boxster harmoni -
ously combines the spirit of sport with
everyday practicality like never before.
The front and rear compartments have
a capacit y of 150 and 130 litres respec -
tively, regardless of whether the hood is
up or down. The interior surfaces are
carpet-lined and the lids are made from
aluminium. The two service openings in
the rear luggage compartment provide convenient access to the coolant and
engine oil filler caps.
The separate Porsche Design Driver’s
Selection catalogue contains a selection
of matching luggage accessories.
