Impressive dynamic performance. Thanks to the precise, lightweight adaptive suspension. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard. It adjusts the damping forces according to driving style and conditions. The suspension is also 10 mm lower than that of the Boxster S.
At the rear, the eye-catching smoked taillights and the distinctive design of the rear apron give added emphasis to the sports performance delivered by the Boxster GTS. The black ‘Boxster GTS’ logo lends a definite signature feature, while the unmistakable Porsche sound from the black, dual-tube sports tailpipe provides an acoustic one. Made even more vivid by the sports exhaust system.
The inside is just as impressive, offering a leather interior in minimalist black as standard. Together with additional Alcantara finishes on the standard SportDesign steering wheel and gear lever/selector, and on the lower section of the dashboard, the doors and the centre console. As well as in the centre of the Sports seats Plus, which also have the ‘GTS’ logo embroidered on the headrests.
The Boxster GTS. A design classic with a greater desire for freedom. A mid-engine sports car that gets under the skin. A roadster for the pure driving experience. Already a legendIts fresh sporty appeal, extra space and ground breaking technology make it a major challenger in its class.
Performance Boxster GTS
The enhanced-performance 3.4-litre flat-six engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus produces 243 kW (330 hp) at 6,700 rpm. That’s 11 kW (15 hp) more than the Boxster S. Maximum torque of 370 Nm is available over the range from 4,500 to 5,800 rpm. A consistently lightweight construction ensures an extraordinary low power-to-weight ratio of just 5.5 kg/kW (4.11 kg/hp). With the six-speed gearbox, the Boxster GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 5.0 seconds. The top speed is 281 km/h. Performance is enhanced even more by the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), with which it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. And with the Launch Control function of the Sport Chrono Package, it breaks the 100 km/h mark in only 4.7 seconds.
Interior
The intelligent operating concept and the logical arrangement of the controls keep the driver’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 one of the many principles that we’ve transferred from the racetrack to the road.
The door styling is similarly dynamic. The door pulls mirror the lines of the centre console and blend seamlessly into the distinctive design. The door storage compartments are sweeping and practical.
As you would expect from a sports car, the driver sits low down. Sports seats are fitted as standard in the Boxster and Boxster S, Sports seats Plus in the Boxster GTS.
The athletic proportions 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.
Are you ready to assert your independence? The ignition lock, as ever, is on the left. The three-spoke sports steering wheel falls perfectly to hand. As is typical of a Boxster, there are three round dashboard instruments to provide you with all the information you need.
In summary, the power, the contouring, the entire concept are all drawn in the direction of travel. In other words, the Boxster is serious. Serious fun.
