Life cannot be lived intensely enough.
Driving should be truly engaging. This is
the core message of the
Boxster S.
Producing 232 kW (315 hp) at 6,700 rpm,
its 3.4-litre flat-six engine with DFI and
VarioCam Plus delivers a might y 37 kW
(50 hp) and 80 Nm more than the engine
in the Boxster. Maximum torque of 360 Nm
is available from 4,500 to 5,800 rpm. The

are reconfigured to operate at higher
engine speeds. Shift times are reduced
and gearshifts become firmer and more
SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton on the centre console
is fit ted as standard. When selected,
‘Sport’
mode is activated to provide
greater response and enhanced driving
pleasure. Throttle response becomes even
more direct, the rev-limiter is adjusted to
a harder set ting and engine dynamics are
loads. For compliance with EU Standards,
the on - board diagnostics detect any
faults and defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and then
notify the driver immediately. This also
prevents increased pollutant emissions
and unnecessary fuel consumption.
Another function is the cylinder-specific
knock control. Since engine cylinders
never all work under exactly the same
conditions, the knock control function
monitors each one separately. The igni
-
tion point is shifted individually, as and
when necessary, to protect the cylinders
and pistons at high engine speeds and
Engine management.
The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum engine perfor -
mance at all times. It regulates all
engine-related functions and assemblies.
The results are optimum power output
and torque with comparatively low fuel
consumption and emissions.

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.

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

accelerator or brake pedal, PDK re-en -
gages the appropriate gear within frac -
tions of a second. The process is smooth
and seamless thanks to the extremely
fast clutch.
Another way to reduce fuel consumption
is to utilise the coasting function on
downhill gradients that are gentle enough
for you to maintain a constant speed.
Efficient on long journeys, such as on the
motorway, PDK remains ready to respond
as swiftly and precisely as you would
expect.
In short, driving in coasting mode makes
a real impact on fuel consumption with -
out any need for compromise on comfort
or sporty performance.Coasting.
The coasting function available with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables
you to save even more fuel where the
situation allows. The engine is decoupled
from the transmission to prevent
deceleration caused by engine braking.

In this way, optimum use is made of
the vehicle’s momentum, allowing it to
coast for longer distances.
For example, you may want to slow
down 100 km/ h to 80 km/ h in anticipa -
tion of the change of speed limit ahead.
As you ease off the accelerator pedal,
PDK deselects the current gear automa -
tically and you begin
to coast in neutral

your desired
speed. As soon as you

an emotive engine sound.
With the optional Sport Chrono Package,
PDK is enhanced by the ‘Launch Control’
and ‘motorsport- derived gearshif t strat-
egy’ functions (p. 65) for even faster and

firmer gear changes and the best possible
performance thanks to a boost in torque
during upshift phases. Overrun downshifts
provide extremely sport y braking and
