Efficiency

Thermal management
The Boxster models feature a new version of thermal management to reduce friction losses that arise during the warm-up phase.

Auto Start/Stop function
The Auto Start/Stop function, which is integrated as standard in the Boxster models, switches off the engine when you stop, select neutral and release the clutch pedal. In cars with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), it is simply a case of applying and holding the brake. The engine will restart as soon as you operate the clutch or, in cars with PDK, release the brake. This fuel-saving innovation is designed primarily for use in towns or congested motorway traffic.

Electrical system recuperation
For enhanced efficiency the Boxster models are equipped with intelligent electrical system recuperation. The vehicle battery is recharged by the generator predominantly under braking.

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.

Transmissions

Six-speed manual gearbox
Both Boxster models are equipped as standard with a lightweight six-speed manual gearbox. Gearshifts are smooth and optimally adapted to the respective engine map. Shift throws are short and sporty and the gear lever is easy to operate, enabling a rapid gearshift action and providing a truly engaging driving experience. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the SPORT PLUS button activates the throttle-blip function to make the gearshift process an even more engaging experience.

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 manual 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. The 7th gear ratio is longer and keeps engine speed low to improve ride comfort and reduce fuel consumption at higher speeds. With the SPORT button selected, the full advantages of PDK are brought into play: a more immediate response to throttle inputs, even shorter shift times and swift, throttle-blip downshifts on overrun and when braking – always accompanied by an emotive engine sound. With the optional Sport Chrono Package, PDK is enhanced by the ‘Launch Control’ and ‘motorsport-derived gearshift strategy’ functions for even faster and firmer gear changes and the best possible performance thanks to a boost in torque during upshift phase.

Performance

Exhaust system
In the Boxster models, each cylinder bank has its own stainless-steel exhaust tract. Downstream of their respective rear silencer, the tracts converge into a connecting tube and a single (Boxster) or twin (Boxster S) tailpipe. Having separate tracts means that the exhaust gas can flow more freely. The resulting reduction in pressure loss has a positive impact on power output, torque and the unmistakable engine sound. Available as an option for the Boxster models is the sports exhaust system including sports tailpipe.

Direct Fuel Injection (DFI)
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) is featured as standard in both Boxster models. Multi-hole injectors deliver fuel directly into the combustion chamber with millisecond precision. The injection pattern has been optimized for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions. With direct injection, the engine management system regulates injection timing individually for each cylinder, as well as the injection rate for each cylinder bank. This optimizes the combustion process and therefore fuel economy.

VarioCam Plus
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine concept for adjusting the intake camshafts and switching the lift of the intake valves. The system first differentiates between driver inputs that typify normal, everyday driving and those inputs that demand maximum performance.

Integrated dry-sump lubrication
Integrated dry-sump lubrication ensures a reliable supply of oil even when a sporty driving style is adopted and the vehicle is experiencing powerful lateral acceleration. It also has additional cooling functions. The oil tank is located in the engine, thereby eliminating the need for an external oil tank which saves both space and weight.

The Boxster concept was designed to offer outstanding cornering performance. The new steering system delivers and it even improves the typical Porsche steering feel. It features a variable steering ratio and responds precisely and directly as well as providing customary agility, a high level of comfort and plenty of direct feedback from the road. Power steering Plus, the optional speed-sensitive power-steering system, minimizes steering effort during maneuvering and parking.

Sport Chrono Package
The optional Sport Chrono Package makes your driving experience priceless thanks to an even sportier tuning of throttle response and handling characteristics. The package comprises dynamic transmission mounts, a performance display, a digital and analogue stopwatch and the SPORT PLUS button.

Dynamic transmission mounts
Dynamic transmission mounts are included as part of the optional Sport Chrono Package. They are designed to enhance both performance and comfort.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
This optional system for increasing dynamic performance and stability varies the distribution of torque to the rear wheels and includes a mechanically locking rear differential.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
Optional PASM, the electronic damping control system, suits the Boxster models down to the ground. PASM actively and continuously regulates the damping force for each wheel according to the road conditions and driving style.

Braking system

Porsche brakes set standards worldwide for stopping power and stability. For the Boxster models, braking performance is as essential as driving performance. Both models are equipped with four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers at the front and rear. This design means that, not only are the brakes extremely resistant to deformation, they are lightweight for a particularly fast and sensitive braking response. Large brake calipers help to provide excellent braking and component stability even during continuous use. These two characteristics have also been optimised by the brake ventilation system with air spoiler at the front and rear axles. The dynamics of the Boxster and Boxster S also demand appropriate brake discs. All Boxster brake discs are internally vented and cross-drilled for improved braking in wet conditions. With a diameter of 330 mm, the front brake discs of the Boxster S are 15 mm larger than those of the Boxster. The diameter of the rear brake discs is 299 mm on both models. The brake calipers on the Boxster and Boxster S are black and red, respectively.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

Enhanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is fitted as standard. This system automatically maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor the speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels in order to restore stability. Under acceleration on wet or low-grip road surfaces, PSM improves traction – as well as agility and safety – using the automatic brake differential (ABD) and antislip regulation (ASR). Integrated ABS is designed to minimise braking distances. If you prefer an ever sportier drive, PSM can be switched off. For your safety, however, PSM remains set to intervene if the vehicle is braked and ABS assistance is required. ABS and ABD remain switched on at all times. Also included with PSM are engine drag torque control (EDC), precharging of the brake system and brake assist.
