“The design of the Boxster models is governed by one philosophy above all: that the styling of a Porsche reflects its inner values. Here, the primary value is extreme performance.
The emphasis on performance is immediately evident from the front, where enlarged air intakes in a geometric arrangement give the Boxster an even more dynamic look – and increase cooling power. On the Boxster, the air intake grilles are finished in the exterior colour, whereas on the Boxster S they are contrasted in black. The powerful design is complemented by striking spoiler lips and the two models have a drag coefficient value of 0.29 and 0.30, respectively.

At the front, the headlight design makes the Boxster models unmistakable – especially at night. Both models are fitted as standard with halogen headlights and LED daytime running lights integrated separately into the clusters above the outer air intakes. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request. The headlight design emphasises the striking contour of the wing.
The rear has been restyled with a LED taillight module that blends harmoniously with the overall design. The centrally located stainless steel tailpipe – twin tailpipe on the Boxster S – and the rear diffusers finished in sporting black complete the powerful look.
The dynamic presence of the Boxster models is further emphasised by the wheel design. The Boxster is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Boxster S with 18-inch wheels. A 19-inch option is available for both models.
Also incorporated into the design are larger exterior mirrors which have been aerodynamically optimised and give better rearward visibility.”
