1 Boxster S with natural leather interior in Carrera Red,
SportDesign steering wheel and other optional
equipment
Are you ready to assert your independ -
ence? The ignition lock, as ever, is on the
lef t. 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 com -
puter or audio information from the
CDR
audio system, which is fit ted as stan dard.
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
one of many principles that we’ve trans

door pulls mirror the lines of the centre
console and blend seamlessly into the
distinctive design. The door storage com -

the driver sits low down. Sports seats
are fit ted as standard. The athletic pro -
portions of the 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.
How much independence do we really have?
It’s a question of inner attitude.

The interior of the Boxster models delivers
exactly what the exterior promises. Light,
uncluttered and defined; every thing is
conceived with one goal in mind: the per -
fect drive.
The power, the contouring, the driver’s
vision, indeed the entire concept, are all
drawn in the direction of travel. The intelli -
gent operating concept and the logical
arrangement of the controls keep the driv -
er’s concentration purely on the road. The
ascending 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
