-
tion with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, newly developed
cataly tic converters provide ef ficient
emission control. While the stereo

Lambda control circuitr y controls and
monitors each cylinder bank separately.
For each exhaust tract, oxygen sensors,
together with the engine electronics
and injectors, regulate the composition
of the exhaust gas, while another
Lambda sensor on each cylinder bank
monitors pollutant conversion in the
respective cataly tic converter.
The goal is to enhance performance –

but, where possible, not at the expense
of the environment.
Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission values
in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through
the use of fuel - ef ficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct fuel
compared with the respective previous
model, even though performance has
been increased in every generation. This
is made possible by an efficient drive
concept (e.g. direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus), lightweight construction,
optimised aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance.
The environmental management team

at the Porsche Development Centre in
Weissach aims to demonstrate a high
level of environmental responsibility. Here,
technological developments are carried
out with environmental protection in mind.
If we are to continue to enjoy driving
pleasure, we need to look after our

environment. In other words, we need to
take responsibilit y. In an era of intensify -
ing debate about global climate change
and CO
2 emissions, every automotive
manufacturer is asking itself what it
has to offer in terms of environmental
protection. Our answer has long been
the same: a combination of high power
output and high efficiency.
In recent years Porsche has managed to
reduce fuel consumption across all model
ranges by a double - digit percentage

and still care about tomorrow.

Servicing.
Long service intervals offer clear advan -
tages. For you, they reduce costs and
save time. For the environment, they
assist in the sparing use of consumables
and replacement parts. For full details
of service intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.
the fuel system has been minimised
thanks to the active carbon filter and the
multilayered material from which the fuel
tank is made. All fuel lines are made from
multilayered plastic, steel or aluminium.
Fuel.
Both
Boxster models are designed to
operate on fuels with an ethanol content
of up to 10 %. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO
2 balance since the
plants grown for the production of this
biofuel also absorb CO
2 from the atmos -
phere. The release of hydrocarbons from
technical requirements. In short, the

Boxster is around 95 % recoverable.
In addition, Porsche uses a high propor -
tion of environmentally friendly water-
based paints. For us, environmental
protection does not begin at the end of
a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.
On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. We use only
innovative and environmentally friendly
components. All synthetic components
are easily recyclable and each material

is labelled to facilitate its separation for
recycling. The reduction in the number
of plastic variants helps to ensure more
ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet our exacting
On the technical side, various compo
-
nents are made with a high proportion of
aluminium, magnesium, plastics and
super high-strength sheet steel. The
materials used have been selected for
their abilit y to withstand load, yet they
are considerably lighter than conventional
steel. As a result, the bodyshell of the
Boxster models has a light alloy content
of approximately 46 %.
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been fundamental to the Porsche identit y
since 1948 for both technical and ecolog -
ical reasons. This forms the basis for
achieving low fuel consumption values in
conjunction with outstanding perfor -
mance.

this is achieved despite the system’s
remarkably low overall weight thanks to

High-End Surround Sound System is as
much about the visual as it is the audio.

1–3 Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System
Conceptually, we have broken entirely
new ground. The analogue and digital
filters of the crossover technology used
have been optimally defined for their
installation location and finely tuned
following extensive in - car audio testing.
The perfect interaction of all loudspeaker
chassis delivers superior bass foundation,
definition and impulse accuracy.
As yet unequalled in the Boxster, the
result is a natural and richly textured
spatial sound, even at top volume. All of
Components used in the car are as
sophisticated as the components that
Burmester
® puts into its high-end home
audio systems. How do the numbers
sound? 12 amplifier channels with a total
output of 821 wat ts and 12 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer. The active
subwoofer is integrated in the bodyshell
itself. Not only does this provide ideal
conditions for the sound, it is consistent
with the principles of light weight con -
struction as applied in motorsport.
Burmester® High-End Surround
Sound System.
Any car manufacturer can integrate a
sound system into a vehicle. Why not go
one step further and embed the driver in
a sound system? That was the aspiration
for Porsche and Burmester
® in the devel -
opment of the optional Burmester
® High-
End Surround Sound System. Conceived
and tuned specifically for the Boxster,
this is high-end technology ‘made in Ger -
many’.
