PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport

a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM

experience.
PASM sports suspension.
The body sits 20 mm lower. The springs
are harder and shorter, and the anti-roll
bars on the front and rear axles are
stiffer.
Dynamic transmission mounts are also
part of the Sport Chrono Package. The
electronically controlled system minimises
the perceptible oscillations and vibrations
of the entire drivetrain and combines the
benefits of a hard or soft transmission
mounting arrangement to offer a sport y
yet comfortable cornering experience. In
short, it enhances both driving stability
and driving comfort.
the engine and transmission for the
fastest possible unleashing of power. In
other words, maximum responsiveness –
for a period of approximately 20 seconds.
A timer graphic in the instrument cluster
tells you how long is left.
Another component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch on the dashboard.
PCM is upgraded to include a performance
display, enabling you to view, store and
evaluate laps or other driving times.
The second function is the motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy. In this mode,
PDK is geared up for extremely short shift
times and optimum shift points for the
maximum acceleration available. This
combination of uncompromising and
involving performance is ideal for the
racetrack.
The third function – SPORT Response – is
an absolute first in the new 718 Boxster
and the 718 Cayman. Pressing the button

a further component: near-boundless

Connect or

gateway to the digital world.

The new sports steering wheel with its
puristic design, the ascending centre
console, three round instruments with the
rev counter positioned in the centre:
everything in the interior is intended to
put the driver first. All buttons and
functions are intuitive to operate, all
information is always ready to hand.
It’s an ergonomics concept that not only
saves time, but looks good, too. At
Porsche, function and design are
inextricably linked.
Since 1953, one thing hasn’t changed:

the driver still calls the shots.

Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle, or
your hand nears the Porsche Crest on the
front luggage compartment lid or the logos
on the rear, the system automatically
checks the encrypted access code on the
key. Once the key is validated, the door or
the luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.
Climate control.
An optional alternative to the air
conditioning
system, two-zone automatic
climate control has separate temperature
controls for the driver and front passenger
and offers a choice of three climate
setting profiles.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in various
parts of the interior.
GT sports steering wheel.
The new, optional GT sports steering
wheel has a smaller diameter. The spokes
are finished in black, while the spoke
trims are in Galvano Silver and are screw-
fastened. For a motorsport-derived look?
Definitely. Above all, though, to emulate a
motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are
optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
4.6-inch colour display and therefore the
on-board computer as well as many audio,
telephone and navigation functions.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel with three-
spoke design is lightweight and functional.
The small centre pad and the chrome ring
encircling the Porsche Crest – both
derived from the steering wheel of the
918 Spyder – reinforce its sport y
character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles offering particularly
short shift throws.
