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
How much independence do we really have?
It’s a question of inner attitude.

dashboard trim strip, the side and centre

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.
