Design
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.

Safety
Roll-over protection.
Dual roll - over protection creates survival
space in the event of a roll-over or side
impact. The front roll-over protection
element is made from super and ultra
high -strength steels. The rear roll - over
bars located behind the seats are a composite construction of aluminium and
steel. They are fully trimmed to blend in
and provide an excellent level of safet y.
The upper seat belt guides are mounted
on the roll-over bars for easier fastening.
Airbags.
To protect the driver and passenger, the
new Boxster models are equipped with
full-size airbags, which are inflated in

t wo stages depending on the severit y
and t ype of accident (e.g. frontal or offset
frontal). In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the occupants.
In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of
impact sensors is located near the head
-
lights. This allows a crash to be detected and evaluated far sooner and with

considerably greater accuracy.Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
Both new Boxster models are equipped
as standard with the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP). It comprises
t wo side airbags on each side. An integral
thorax airbag is located in the outer side
bolster of each seat, while the door panels
each contain an upwards-inflating head
airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume of
10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres, ensuring excellent protection in the event
of a side impact even with the hood open.
POSIP additionally includes steel side
impact protection elements in the doors.

Leather package.
You may have thought the interior of
your new Boxster couldn’t be any more
st ylish, but the optional leather package
en hances its overall appeal by adding a
leather finish to the instrument cowl, cen -
tre console storage compartment lid,
seat centres, side bolsters and headrests,
the door armrests and door pulls. With the
leather package, all of these feature

a silver- coloured trim strip, which

accentuates the dynamic and sweeping
design of the interior.
You have a choice bet ween a minimalist
single-tone interior, with one of the
standard colours Black, Platinum Grey,
Luxor Beige or Yachting Blue, and a t wo -tone combination of Agate Grey

and Pebble Grey
1) or, exclusively available
for the leather package, Agate Grey and
Lime Gold. The features in leather (on the
seats, only the seat centres) are finished
in the contrasting colour.
Instruments.
The powerful performance of the new
Boxster models may be indescribable, but
it can be measured. The three circular
instruments give you all the information
you need. The rev counter with digital
speedometer is positioned in the centre.
In the Boxster S, the dial face is alumini -
um-coloured; in the Boxster, it is finished in minimalist black. The instrument on the
left contains the analogue speedometer
with digital trip meter and total distance
d isp lay.
A new feature of the right-hand circular
instrument is the high-resolution 4.6-inch
TFT colour screen. It provides you with

a continuous stream of data from the on-board computer, reminds you of

your selected communication and audio
set tings, enables you to customise
vehicle settings, delivers various warn -
ings, including alerts from the optional
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system
and in conjunction with the optional PCM,
displays the navigation system map.

Steering wheels.
Where your journey takes you is in
your hands. For this reason, all available
steering wheels feature a high-grip
rim in smooth-finish leather and offer
outstanding ergonomics. The reach from
the steering wheel to the gear lever is
short for sport y and fast gear changes.
In combination with the optional fully
electric seats, the steering wheel is also
electrically adjustable and for even more
convenience, a memory function is
included.
Sports steering wheel.
The three-spoke sports steering wheel is
fit ted as standard and offers up to 40 mm
of adjustment for both height and reach.
The steering wheel rim is upholstered in
smooth-finish leather. In conjunction with
optional PDK, the steering wheel features
t wo ergonomic switches. One press with the thumb and PDK shifts up. One pull
with the index finger and PDK shifts down.
Either the right or left hand can be used.
With the optional Sport Chrono Package
and PDK, there is an additional display
above the airbag module. It tells you
whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
Launch Control functions are activated.
The optional multifunction steering wheel
provides extra operating comfort with

four function but tons and t wo thumb -
wheels for convenient operation of many
audio, telephone and navigation functions. SportDesign steering wheel.
Visually, the optional SportDesign steering
wheel is distinguished by its st ylish twin-
spoke design. It ’s in safe hands, even on
the sportiest of drives. In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
Made from a strong alloy, they are ergo
-
nomically located behind the right and left
steering wheel spokes. Pull the right-hand
paddle and PDK shifts up. Pull the left-
hand paddle and PDK shifts down.
When combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package and PDK, the steering
wheel has an additional display in the
left- and right-hand spokes to indicate
whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
Launch Control functions are activated.

Steering wheel heating.
For extra comfort on those cold days, a
heating function is available as an option
for the sports steering wheel and the
multifunction steering wheel. The heating
is activated by a separate control but ton
on the steering wheel and the rim is
warmed to a pleasant temperature. Cold weather should never be a reason to

prevent you from enjoying your open-top
driving experience.

Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comforta
-
ble and provide support even during
performance driving. The seat centres
are finished in Alcantara, a material
renowned in motorsport for its durability.
The seats are equipped as standard with
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
Sports seats Plus.
The optional Sports seats Plus are uphol -
stered in smooth -finish leather. The side
bolsters of the seat squab and backrest
are more prominently defined and have
a firmer, more sport y padding for even
bet ter lateral support. The backrest shell
up to the headrest has a Silver Grey Metallic paint finish. To help you find

the optimum posture, the seats feature
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.

for comfort, the optional fully electric

ment of seat height, backrest angle,
squab angle and squab depth. Also electri -
cally operated are the fore/aft adjustment,

as the positions of the steering wheel

tion additionally supports settings for
the lights, wipers, two-zone automatic
climate control (optional), door locks,

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.
