Design
Sometimes, spontaneity
takes years of work.
Design.Exterior.
We have redefined the Boxster in terms
of its performance, and defined how the
roadster of the future should look. In doing
so, we have once again succeeded in cre -
ating an icon of independence. Just like
its legendary predecessors, it is a Porsche
that continues to epitomise the feeling of
genuine freedom and advancement. The vertical contour of the headlights was
inherited from Porsche race cars of the
1960s and 1970s, but while the new
Boxster may be infused with the genes
of past generations, also it ushers in a
new and forward-looking design ethos.
It ushers in a new and forward-looking
design ethos. Large, imposing air intakes give the front
a powerful appearance.
The side contour promises thrilling perfor -
mance, while the long wheelbase and low,
raked windscreen are integral to forming
the stretched, wedge-shaped silhouette.
With the hood closed, this impression is
reinforced by the extremely sporting roofline. Large wheels, up to 20 inches in
size, make a st ylish addition to the clas
-
sic roadster. These emphasise the cars
wide track and help to achieve a com -
pletely new level of athletic performance.
The distinctive shoulder line gives further
emphasis to the wheels and, in combina -
tion with the side air intakes, to the mid-engine layout. Such features are
reminiscent of the 718 RS 60 Spyder,
a light weight mid-engined sports car
that achieved success in endurance racing
and hillclimbing championships alike.
Precise lines, which run elegantly across
the wings to the rear, make the new
Boxster unique among Porsche models. While its overall look is just as imposing,
its lines are more sharply defined than
on any Porsche we’ve seen before.

Interior and comfort
Ultimately, the feeling of freedom comes
from within. The interior of the new
Boxster models is purposefully designed
as a declaration of independence.
The geometric form of the cockpit
follows a clear direction: forwards.
The elevated centre console integrates
the driver optimally into the vehicle
by positioning the gear lever extremely
close to the steering wheel to enable
fast and sport y gear changes.
The generously proportioned interior is
light and offers plent y of space for driver
and passenger comfort. The individual
controls are characterised by their
simplicit y and ergonomics for intuitive use.
Fit ted as standard, the CDR audio
system combines with the optional
Sound Package Plus to deliver impressive
acoustic performance and has a touch -
screen for easy operation. Available
as an option, the BOSE
® Surround Sound
System creates an authentic sound
experience with eight amplifier channels,
10 loudspeakers and a total output of
445 wat ts.
The interior materials are high-quality,
and the refined tone is enhanced by a
wealth of silver- coloured details. These
are found on the dashboard trim strip,
the centre console, the door pulls, the
glove compartment release lever, the
side and centre air vent surrounds and
The most beautiful roof is the sky.

the model designation plaque on the
centre console.
The steering wheel rim and gear lever/
selector are sport y and st ylish at the
same
time. The door pull inlays are t ypi -
cally Porsche. Finished in leather, they
represent a balanced blend of design
and functionalit y. In the Boxster S, the
door armrests and the centre console
storage compartment lid are also fin -
ished in leather.
For even more sport y elegance, you
can request the optional leather package
for a st ylish leather finish on purposefully
selected interior features. As always, a
comprehensive leather interior package
is also available as an option.

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.

Fully electric hood.
Think a sense of freedom isn’t available
at the push of a but ton? Think again.
The new Boxster models are equipped
as standard with a fully electric hood.
With the engine running, the opening
and closing processes are completed in around nine seconds. The hood is opera
-ble up to a speed of approx. 30 mph
(50 km/ h). When the vehicle is stationary,
the hood can even be operated remotely
using the vehicle key.
The newly st yled hood design blends
in elegantly with the contouring of the
Boxster models. As a key design feature,
it accentuates the new, stretched
side view of the vehicle. The hood flows
backwards and sweeps into the body.
The especially powerful silhouette promises excellent dynamic per formance and
delivers impressive aerodynamics. The hood stows away compactly
above the engine compartment
without reducing the luggage compart -
ment volume. The hood motor runs exception
ally quietly and the modern
soundproofing fabric is robust and
improves interior acoustics. The large
rear screen is made from glass and is
electrically heated and scratch - resistant,
so you can continue to enjoy your free -
dom whatever the weather.
Wind deflector.
A wind deflector is available as an option.
It reduces air turbulence in the cabin and
fits easily to the roll-over bar.
