2013 PORSCHE BOXSTER S steering wheel adjustment

2021
The hood on the Boxster models makes
it easy to clear your head. Fully
electric, it
opens and closes in around
nine seconds
and is operable up to a speed of 50 km/ h.

The intelligent lightweight construction,
which uses aluminium for substantial
parts of the bodyshell, doors and luggage
compartment lids, helps to achieve an
excellent power-to-weight ratio.
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) offers continuous adjustment of
damping forces based on the selected
mode. Dynamic performance can be fur
-
ther improved with optional Porsche
Torque Vectoring (PTV).
The optional Sport Chrono Package
includes dynamic gearbox mounts. They
contain a fluid with magnetic properties,
which enables them to adapt instantly to
driving conditions and counteract the
effects of inertia. The results are percep -
tibly more stable handling during perfor
-
mance driving, as well as a higher level of
ride comfort.
Knowledge should never
be confined to books.
Engineering.
A series of innovative technologies is
key to achieving exemplary efficiency.
As standard, these include the auto
start /stop function, electrical system
recuperation (p. 42), energy-saving
electrome chanical power steering, intelli -
gent thermal management and, in conjunc -
tion with PDK, the coasting function. The
result is a significant reduction in
fuel consumption and, therefore, a reduc -
tion in CO
2 emissions of up to 16 % com-
pared with the previous model (depending
on the equipment variant).
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
provides stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Available as an option,

For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class please refer to page 131.
What use is expertise if it isn’t put into
practice and applied to the road?
In the Boxster, the 2.7-litre horizontally
opposed six cylinder engine delivers
195 kW (265 hp); in the Boxster S, the
3.4 - litre equivalent generates 232 kW

(315 hp). Both mid-mounted engines
feature direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus for a significant increase
in both power output and efficiency. The
SPORT but ton on the centre console is fit
-
ted as standard and opens up even more
agile responses. Power is transmit ted to
the wheels by a light weight six-speed
manual gearbox or the optional 7-speed
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).

outstanding ergonomics. The reach from
the steering wheel to the gear lever is
short for sport y and fast gear changes.

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

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
