completely new interpretation of the

In summary, the
Boxster draws inspiration
from a long history and, yet, it also incor -

future should be. In doing so, it reflects a

As an option, the sport y elegance of the
Boxster models can be further enhanced
with a comprehensive suite of interior
trims and upholsteries.
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
-
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 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.
Design.
Interior.
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

Child seats.*
A Boxster should be enjoyed by passen-
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat pre-
paration is available as an option and
includes a deactivation function for the
passenger airbag.
* Child seats are not compatible with Sports bucket
seats.
** Seat heating available for Sports bucket seats from 10/2013 at the earliest.

3 Sports seat Plus
4 Fully electric Sports seat
5 Adaptive Sports seat Plus with optional seat heating and seat ventilation
Sports bucket seats.*
Sports bucket seats are available as
an option and feature a folding backrest,
integrated thorax airbag and manual fore/
aft adjustment. The carbon surface finish
conceals a seat shell in glass-/carbon-
fibre reinforced plastic.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats.** Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters. In conjunction
with seat heating, we can equip the seats
(excluding Sports bucket seats) with seat
ventilation on request. 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 pleas-
ant seating environment, even in hot
weather.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness for
comfort, the optional fully electric Sports
seats offer fully electric adjustment of
seat height, backrest angle, squab angle
and squab depth. Also elec trically operat-
ed are the fore/aft adjustment, four-way
lumbar support and even the steering col-
umn. The included memory package sup-
ports a range of set tings,
including both
exterior mirrors and all driv
er’s seat and
steering wheel positions.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
For a stronger connection bet ween sport
and comfort, adaptive Sports seats Plus
are available on request. These are an
enhanced version of the distinctive Sports
seats Plus with the added functionalit y of
fully electric adjustment of both the seat
and the side bolsters on the squab and
backrest.
Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comfor-
table and provide support even when the
car is driven hard into corners. The seat
centres are finished in Alcantara. Electric
backrest adjustment and manual height
and fore/af t adjustment are integrated as
st a n d a rd .
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. To help you find
the optimum posture, the seats feature
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
