Half gearbox 2: gears 2, 4, 6The 7th gear ratio is longer and keeps
engine speed low to improve ride comfort
and
reduce fuel consumption at higher
speeds.
The design of PDK is similar to t wo
conventional gearboxes in one. The odd
numbered gears are housed on one
assembly and the even numbered gears on
another, each having its own clutch. While
one gear is engaged, PDK pre-selects the
next gear based on driver input. When the
next gear is requested, drive is switched
from one clutch to the other in millisec-
onds, delivering gear changes with no loss
of drive.
With the SPORT but ton selected, the full
advantages of PDK are brought into play:

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Available as an option for the Boxster
models is 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), featuring both manual and automatic
modes. PDK offers extremely fast gear
changes with no interruption in the flow of
power, improved acceleration over the man-
ual gearbox, very short response times,
reduced fuel consumption and a distinct
increase in comfort.
In total, PDK has seven forward gears at
its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have a sports
ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear.
For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class please refer to page 131.
Six-speed manual gearbox.
Both Boxster models are equipped as
standard with a light weight six-speed
manual gearbox. Gearshifts are smooth
and optimally adapted to the respective
engine map. Shift throws are short and
sport y and the gear lever is easy to oper-
ate, enabling a rapid gearshift action and
providing a truly engaging driving experi-
ence. The upshift indicator located in the
central circular instrument helps you to
maximise fuel efficiency.
The ascending centre console gives you
an authentic sports car feel. It positions
the gear lever close to the steering wheel,
which enables you to change gear as fast
and as ergonomically as possible. In con-
junction with the optional Sport Chrono
