The Boxster concept Model range

Rediscover yourself without losing your individuality. Push the boundaries without breaking with tradition. Remain true to exceeding expecta- tions. How can you do that?

By rekindling a source of infinite potential: inner fire.

With the new Boxster, this power is demonstrated in many ways.

By the new generation of engines, for example. The optional Porsche Doppelkupplung.

The enhanced Porsche Stability Management. Or the new, purpose- ful design.

In other words, refined technology which rewrites the rules. Not only in the roadster segment, but also

The pleasure of a roadster. The excitement of a Porsche.

The new Boxster and Boxster S.

An extraordinarily powerful mid- mounted engine. An extremely low centre of gravity. Very high agility and dynamic handling. The driving experience offered by a Boxster goes far beyond superficial driving pleasure. That's because its based on à concept which made the 550 Spyder one of the most

successful racing cars of its time.

Both models are powered by a new generation of engines.

The Boxster's six-cylinder Boxer engine, fitted with VarioCam Plus {p. 36), now has a 2.9itre capacity, 188 kW (255 hp) and maximum torque of 290 Nm

at 4,400 to 6,000 rpm. Taking it to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds, with à top speed of 263 km/h (163 mph). Despite this increase in power, the CO,

emissions have been reduced

by up to 12% compared with the previous model. In combination with the optional Porsche Doppel- kupplung (PDK), the result is a very low emissions value of

214 g/km and fuel consumption of 9.1 1/100 km (31 mpg).

The new Boxster S has an addi- tional power boost, with direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 28) fitted as standard. This provides optimum fuel mixture formation for im- proved fuel efficiency and a distinct increase in power and torque.

In combination with the optional PDK, this gives a reduction in fuel consumption of 15% and lowers CO, emissions by 16% compared

with the previous model.

The 3.4litre six-cylinder Boxer engine in the Boxster S develops an impressive 228 kW (310 hp). Maximum torque of 360 Nm is reached between 4,400 and 5,500 rpm and acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 5.3 seconds.

In summary, an engine which

is responsive enough to provide

power from the outset - and reaches its limit at 274 km/h (170 mph).

In both models, a precision six- speed manual gearbox makes optimum use of the power and torque of the new engine. New Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 42) features both manual and automatic modes and is also available as an option for the

Boxster S in Guards Red

A real roadster is like true love: you recognise it at first glance.

The design of the new Boxster models is governed by one philosophy above all: that the styling of à Porsche reflects

its inner values. Here, the primary

value is extreme performance.

This concept also follows a traditional Porsche theme: the seamless blend of function

and design. Visually exciting with performance to match.

The emphasis on performance is immediately evident from the front, where enlarged air intakes in a new geometric arrangement give the Boxster an even more dynamic look - and increase cool- ing power. On the new Boxster,

the air intake grilles are finished in the exterior colour, whereas on the new Boxster S they are contrasted in black. The powerful design is complemented by striking spoiler lips and the two models have à drag coefficient value of 0.29 and 0.30, respec- tively.

At the front, the new 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 new headlight design emphasises the striking contour of the wing.

The rear has been restyled with a new LED tailight module that blends harmoniously with the overall design. The new 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 empha- sised by the new wheel design. The Boxster is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Boxster S with 18-inch wheels. À 19-nch option is available for both models.

Boxster | The Boxster concept

Also incorporated into the new design are larger exterior mirrors which have been aerodynamically optimised and give better rearward visibility.

In short, although we rarely stick to the rules, we have observed one: form follows function. Design and functionality are combined perfectly in the new Boxster models.

have become even more distinctive.

With real purpose. The Boxster — synonymous with pure performance. The Boxster S — an expression of thoroughbred athleticism.

Many fairytales begin with ‘Once upon a time’. But only a few true stories do.

You can tell a good concept from the fact that it isn't just short-term. We appear to have got something right.

Because the basic concept of the Boxster has lost none of its

appeal in over 60 years. Even though the gap between

the Porsche 356 No.l, the 550 Spyder and the new Boxster

seems huge, its still an out-and- out roadster. High performance, lightweight construction, sporting agility, pure driving pleasure - these values are reflected in every

The newly developed 2.94itre six- cylinder Boxer engine delivers a power output of 188 KW (255 hp) at 6,400 rpm and à maximum torque of 290 Nm at between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm.

The six-speed manual gearbox has been optimally matched

to the new engine characteristics and increased power output. From a standing start, the new Boxster accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds. Or just 5.8 seconds with the new optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK,

Like a shot of adrenalin. Intravenously.

The flagship model in the Boxster range has also evolved: the new Boxster S. It presents an even more athletic interpretation of the roadster concept. More powerful and more efficient. Its brand new engine is now fitted with direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 28) as standard. For increased torque and power — with a simultaneous reduction

in fuel consumption. The result is 228 kW (310 hp) at 6,400 rpm

Boxster S As well as the new 18-inch Boxster S Il wheels in à dynamic design, the Boxster S is fitted with a braking system which is distinguished by its red-painted calipers. The rear brake discs are thicker than those on the Boxster for increased stability under braking.

The front air intake grilles are painted black for a striking con- trast. Together with the centrally mounted tailpipe in à new design, they give the car a powerful presence.

In the interior, as well as leather on the steering wheel, gear/PDK selector lever, handbrake and door handle, the Boxster S has leather trim on the storage compartment covers in the door and the rear centre console. The instrument dials are aluminium- coloured.

These are just the facts. To expe- rience the performance of the new Boxster $, we can only offer one piece of advice: you really need to drive it.

Set high standards. Exploit its full

potential. Apply full power. An athletic build or good equipment alone isn°t enough. The drive must be right. The

inner fire must be strong enough.

in the upper rev range. Maximum

torque is available over a wide

rev range, reaching 290 Nm between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm.

The new engine in the Boxster S features direct fuel injection (DFI). This means even more power: the 3.4-itre power plant develops 228 kW (310 hp) at a maximum torque of 360 Nm between 4,400 and 5,500 rpm.

For incredible driving performance and higher torque, especially in the lower rev range, with a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 15%* and in CO, emissions of up to 16% (compared with the previous model), achieved by DFI and VarioCam Plus technology.

‘Depending on type of transmission.

3.4itre sixcyinder Boxer engine in the Boxster S

The new Boxster S engine has direct fuel injection (DFI). With millisecond precision, fuel is inject- ed directly into the combustion chamber at up to 120 bar pressure via electromagnetically actuated

The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homoge- neous distribution of the air/fuel mixture and, therefore, effective combustion.

Depending on throttle input, multiple fuel injection takes place.

DFI improves the internal cooling of the combustion chamber by preparing the mixture directly

in the cylinder. The resulting higher compression ratio (12.5:1) helps

to deliver more power along with enhanced engine efficiency. It has therefore been possible to reduce CO, emissions by up to 16% and fuel consumption by up to 15%*. Injection is regulated by the elec-

ET Lightweight construction.

Both Boxster models are equipped with alloy engines. The advantages are their low weight and reduced fuel consumption. Thanks to in- genious design down to the finest detail, it has been possible to reduce the weight of the new

generation of engines even further,

e.g. by fully integrating the cam- shaft bearings into the cylinder heads.

Integrated dry-sump lubrication.

Integrated dry-sump lubrication guarantees a reliable oil supply while reducing engine tempera-

tures, even in sportily driven cars.

The oil reservoir is located inside the engine. Four oil pumps transport the oil from the cylinder heads directly into the oil sump.

A fifth pump in the oil sump directly supplies the lubricating points in the engine.

To reduce power losses and in- crease efficiency, an electronically controlled oil pump supplies the

engine lubrication points as and when required. This means that the oil pump does not work so hard when there is less demand for lubrication. The benefits of an on-demand oil supply system are optimum efficiency combined with a reduction in both fuel consumption and CO, emissions.

For the engine, these detailed solutions mean a consistent oil supply, regardless of gravitational loads, even in the most demand- ing track conditions.

Engine cooling system.

Our cross-flow cooling system, as used in motorsport, supplies

each cylinder uniformly with coolant. Valves are thus protected against overload and premature wear, which minimises the engine's tendency to knock and reduces emissions, fuel consumption and engine noise.

Even when changing gear.

New Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).

The optional Porsche Doppel- kupplung (PDK), with both manual gearshift and an automatic mode, enables smooth gear changes with no interruption in the flow of power. This results in significantly faster acceleration and lower

fuel consumption, without having to sacrifice the ease of automatic transmission.

In total, PDK has seven gears

at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have à sports ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear

has a long ratio and helps to reduce fuel consumption even

PDK is essentially two half gear- boxes in one and thus requires two clutches - designed as

a double wet clutch transmission.

Boxster S Boxster | Drive

This double clutch provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft Lis nested inside the hollowed- out input shaft 2).

The flow of power from the engine is only ever transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear

is preselected in the second half

gearbox. During à gear change,

therefore, a conventional shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes can therefore take place within milliseconds.

Clutch 1 controls the first half gearbox, which contains the odd gears (1, 3,5, 7) and reverse. Clutch 2 controls the second, which contains the even gears (2, 4, 6).

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) in detail.

The crankshaft transmits engine torque to the dual-mass flywheel which is then channelled through the clutch housing and onto the multi-plate clutches, or to be more precise, the outer disc carrier.

Under oil pressure, clutch 1 closes and forms a frictional connection with input shaft 1. The torque

is now transmitted through the first half gearbox - and then the differential — to the rear axle. At this stage, PDK has already preselected the next gear in

the second half gearbox. Engine torque is already acting on the other outer disc carrier and, in response to à gear change signal,

Rear Semi-gearbox 1 st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, R gear)

the overlap shift is initiated, i.e. as clutch 1 opens, clutch 2 closes. The non-positive connection with input shaft 2 is established, and

power is transmitted to the wheels.

The gear which is engaged is displayed on the instrument clus- ter. Depending on the gearshift programme, the gear change is optimised for comfort or for sporty handling and takes place in a matter of milliseconds.

PDK function diagram

The advantage over a fully manual transmission is the considerably faster rate of acceleration for the same rate of fuel consump- tion. The advantage over a fully automatic transmission is the perceptible increase in driving dynamics — with a similar level

of comfort, and a distinct reduc- tion in fuel consumption.

The compact dimensions of the gearbox reduce rotational masses which means a more direct engine response, and the system is more lightweight.

This, along with the long-ratio

7th gear, helps to achieve reduced fuel consumption and emission figures comparable with those of à manual gearbox.

With the optional Sport Chrono Package, PDK is enhanced by the ‘Launch Control’ and ‘motor- sport-derived gearshift strategy" functions (p. 56).

In essence, PDK combines sporti- ness with efficiency and comfort. What does all this mean for you? Uninterrupted driving pleasure.

In conjunction with the optional

Gear selector for PDK.

The gear selector for PDK im- presses not only with its unique design, but above all with its superior functionality enabling you to change gear manually.

The control concept mirrors the logic of the paddles on the three- spoke sports steering wheel - press forwards to shift up, pull backwards to shift down.

Even if the gear selector is set to automatic mode, you can still change gear manually using the paddies on the steering wheel.

the footbrake is released. The vehicle is therefore temporarily prevented from rolling backwards.

and pitch movements on cornering, braking and acceleration.

The chassis of the new Boxster models ensures high safety reserves irrespective of load, and easily controllable load transfer when cornering. Cornering stability is exemplary, even in high-speed bends. The same applies to straight-line stability.

What use is a perfect suspension setup without perfectly tuned steering? For Porsche, this would be inconceivable. The solution

is à steering system which is as precise and immediate as the chassis itself and, thanks to the power assistance, steering effort

is reduced to a comfortable level. Around the straight-ahead position, such as during motorway driving, the ratio is less direct but with no loss of agility or feed- back.

The greater the steering angle,

the more direct the steering ratio. This is particularly notice-

able when turning tight corners or parking. The car has a turning circle of just 11.1 m.

to reduce roll and pitch still further and to increase contact between each individual wheel and the road.

In ‘Sport mode, the suspension is set to a harder damper rating. On uneven roads, PASM immediately switches to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range, thereby improving contact between the wheels and the road. When the road surface improves, PASM automatically reverts to the

original, harder rating.

IF'Normal" mode is selected and the drivers style becomes more assertive, PASM automatically switches to a harder rating within the ‘Normal’ setup range. Damping becomes harder, and driving stability and road safety are increased.

Mechanically locking rear differential.

Are you à fan of sporty driving? In your spare time, do you enjoy the occasional outing on the racetrack? Then you shouldn't do without the new optional mechanically locking rear differ- ential available in conjunction with 18-nch or 19inch wheels. It further enhances the traction of the driven rear wheels on uneven roads and when acceler- ating out of tight bends. Road holding at the limits of perfor-

À key component of the Sport Chrono Package is the swivel- mounted timer in the centre of the

dashboard with analogue and

digital display. In combination with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Sport Chrono Package offers two additional functions that are

activated by the Sport Plus button.

First, ‘Launch Control’, which ensures you achieve the fastest possible rate of acceleration from a standing start - on the race track, for example. ‘Launch Control is operated via the Sport Plus button with the ‘D’ or ‘M' drive position selected. Whilst the driver depresses the brake pedal with the left foot, the right foot depresses the accelerator pedal to the floor. With the accelerator in the kickdown position, the sys- tem detects the driver's request for Launch Mode and revs the engine to an optimum speed of approximately 6,500 rpm. Engine torque increases and the clutch closes slightly. The message “Launch Control active’ appears on the instrument cluster display. The driver now quickly releases the brake — and prepares for

maximum acceleration.

Second, the ‘motorsport-derived gearshift strategy’. Using this, PDK is geared up for maximum shift speed, the shortest possible shift times and optimum shift points for maximum acceleration

— ideal for the racetrack.

À purist concept doesn't allow for reserves. Except when it comes to safety.

Uncompromising sports perfor- mance. Comprehensive safety. At Porsche, these qualities have always been inextricably linked. Just as in the development of the new Boxster models where the body, chassis and brakes

constitute a single integrated system with generous safety

The new chassis setup allows for an extremely sporty driving style with exceptional cornering control. The variable ratio steering is direct and precise with excellent feedback from the road.

The optimised braking system ensures maximum deceleration and stability. À high power- to-weight ratio and responsive throttle enable easier overtaking and evasive manoeuvres. Porsche Stability Management (PSM, p. 63) fitted as standard helps to stabilise the vehicle in critical driving scenar-

ios, even in unfavourable weather

conditions. In addition, the new headlight design guarantees excellent vision at night (p. 64).

We have made even more progress when it comes to stopping.

The new Boxster and Boxster S have a braking system with four-piston aluminium monobloc brake calipers fitted front and rear. Offering excellent rigidity, they are compact and save on

weight. Their superior respon- siveness, for fast and sensitive braking, sets them apart.

A brake booster reduces pedal effort whilst maintaining powerful braking. À special ventilation system, whereby the entire wheel brake is cooled through openings in the front end and special channelling systems, increases the stability of the brakes during heavy

Standard brake unit (Boxster) (top) Standard brake unit (Boxster S) (bottom)

For the new Boxster models, the braking system has been modified for the increased engine power. Like the Boxster S, the new Boxster has internally vented brake discs at the front with a diameter of 318 mm. At the rear they measure 299 mm on both models. For reduced weight, better cooling and optimum braking in the wet, the brake discs are cross-drilled.

The brake pads have also been optimised for improved braking performance. The rear brake discs

on the new Boxster S are 4 mm thicker than those on the Boxster, which increases stability even further. To distinguish them visually, the brake calipers on the Boxster have a black anodised finish while those on the Boxster S are painted red.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

On request, we can equip your Boxster S with a brake system that has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motorsport: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

Boxster S The ceramic brake discs have

a diameter of 350 mm front and rear — for extremely powerful braking. The brake discs are formed from à specially treated carbon-fibre compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at approximately 1,700°C. Not only are the resulting discs much harder than standard discs,

they are more resistant to heat. The low thermal expansion of the brake discs prevents deformation under heavy braking. Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping

Six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear provide à high and constant brake pressure. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required.

All the necessary ingredients are there for a short braking distance, even in the toughest conditions. Moreover, safety under braking at high speeds is increased thanks to the excellent fade resistance of PCCB.

The key advantage of PCCB is that the brake discs are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs

of similar design and size. À factor that helps to reduce unsprung and rotating masses on the vehicle. The consequence of this is better road holding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling.

Please note that circuit racing, trackday use and other forms

of performance driving can signifi- cantly reduce the service life of even the most durable brake pads and discs. We recommend that

all brake components be profes- sionally inspected and replaced where necessary after every track

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

PSM, which comes as standard, is an automatic control system that stabilises the vehicle at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration. Using this information, PSM computes the actual direction of motion. If this direction deviates from the desired course, PSM initiates braking interventions targeted at individual wheels in order to stabilise the vehicle.

Boxster S Under acceleration on wet or low- grip road surfaces, PSM improves traction using the ABD (automatic brake differential) and ASR (anti- slip regulation) functions, giving an agile response. When ‘Sport mode is selected on the optional Sport Chrono Packages (p. 62), the PSM intervention threshold is raised to enable greater driver involvement - particularly at speeds of up to approximately 70 km/h (45 mph). The integral ABS

can further reduce the braking distance.

For an even sportier drive, PSM can be deactivated. However, it is

automatically reactivated for your safety if either of the front wheels (in “Sport mode, both of the front wheels) requires ABS assistance.

ABD remains permanentiy active.

PSM has been enhanced and now includes two additional functions: precharging of the brake system, and brake assist. you suddenly release the accelerator pedal, PSM automatically readies the braking system. With the braking system having been precharged, the brake

Universal audio interface for PCM BOSE® Surround Sound System for PCM and CDR-30.

The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System is compatible with both the CDR-30 audio system, which comes as standard, and the optionally available PCM. Developed specifically for Porsche, it has been optimised for the Boxster models. À total of 11 loud- speakers, including an active subwoofer and central speaker, and à seven-channel digital amplifier with a total output of 385 watts, combine to produce a

During audio playback from audio or video DVDs (only with the optional PCM), the system is now able to make full use of the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. With music

in the 5.1 format, the sound has already been recorded in à multi- channel format and is faithfully

reproduced exactly as the original.

Five dedicated audio channels (front left, front right, centre, sur- round left, surround right) deliver a sound that is as authentic as it is natural. The digital 5.1 surround sound is balanced, lfelike and crystal clear. Es à sound thats as true to a live performance or cinematic experience as you can

Of course, you can still play tradi- tional music sources such as CDs {only format supported by CDR-30), either in stereo or in one of the surround modes generated by patented BOSE® Centerpoint® technology. The new algorithm of Centerpoint® Il extracts an even more precise and realistic sound

from the stereo signal.

The SurroundStage® signal processing circuitry developed by BOSE® assigns each individual audio channel, whether sourced from a DVD or generated

by Centerpoint®, to a selected

combination of loudspeakers and is therefore able to deliver an optimally balanced surround sound experi-

ence to both seat positions.

To complement these features, the BOSE® Surround Sound System offers a comprehensive selection of equaliser presets for customised sound. The dynamic loudness function increases bass levels as you decrease the volume, thereby compensating for the decreasing sensitivity of the human ear at these frequencies. Moreover, the AudioPilot® Noise Compensation Technology uses à microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback automatically

so that a consistent sound is main-

tained in all driving conditions.

With quality which means that over 70% of all Porsche cars ever built are still on the road. And with a commitment, right from the design stage, to environmentally friendly recycling.

Our contribution to a cleaner en

In an era of intensifying debate about CO, emissions, every auto- motive manufacturer is asking itself what it has to offer in terms of environmental protection.

Our answer has long been the same: maximum efficiency.

Porsche has been reducing the CO, emissions of its vehicles annually by an average of 1.7%. In relation to power output (g/km

per hp), Porsche is already among those manufacturers achieving the lowest CO, emissions. This has been achieved through the new efficient drive concept (DFI), light- weight construction, optimum aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.

This high level of environmental responsibility is clearly dem- onstrated by our approach to

environmental management at the Porsche development centre in Weissach. Here, all technological developments are carried out with environmental protection in mind. The goal? Pure performance - but not at the expense of the environment. À goal achieved by the new Boxster models.

Exhaust emission control.

Both engines comply with stringent emission standards, including Euro 5 in Europe and ULEV in the USA. Vehicles manufactured by Porsche demonstrate that even high-performance sportscars can achieve very low emission values in their respective category. In short, the new Boxster is not only extremely sporty, it is also very clean.

This is achieved by means of a two-stage cascade-type catalytic

converter which comprises two monolith substrates on each of the twin exhaust tracts. These specially coated substrates contain ultra- fine honeycomb channels in which pollutants are converted as exhaust gas passes through.

The stereo lambda control circuitry controls and monitors each cylinder bank separately, while another lambda sensor on each cylinder bank monitors pollutant conversion in the respective catalytic con- verter (p. 38).*

Fuel economy and recycling.

At Porsche, à fundamental aspect of design is intelligent lightweight construction. For both economical and ecological reasons. This forms the basis for low fuel consumption values in conjunction with out-

standing performance.

It is economical thanks to the high proportion of aluminium cast alloys, plastics and super high- strength sheet steel used. This is

Not in markets with leaded fuel.

substantially lighter and more stable than conventional steel. In the Boxster models approximately 20% of components are made from lightweight alloys. We use only innovative and environmentally friendly components, and each material is labelled to facilitate its separation for recycling. Recycled plastics are used where they meet exacting technical requirements. In all, the new Boxster models are approximately 85% recyclable.

In addition, Porsche uses only environmentally friendly water- based paints. The Boxster models are absolutely free of asbestos, CFCs and components manufac- tured using CFCs. This is because, here at Porsche, environmental protection does not begin at the end of a vehicle's life. It starts

at the planning and development stage.

The new Boxster models are already designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10%. Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO, balance since the plants cultivated for the production of this biofuel also absorb CO, from the atmosphere.

The release of hydrocarbons from the fuel system has been minimised thanks to the active carbon filter and a special coating on the fuel tank. All fuel lines

are made of aluminium, while vapour-carrying lines are made from multHayered plastic.

The new Boxster models comply with all applicable noise regulations without any form of engine en- capsulation. To achieve this, noises are eliminated at source. Engine parts are stiff, moving parts are lightweight and tolerances are kept to a minimum. Large-volume silencers and resonators in the air intake system minimise noise further. For the entire service life of the vehicle.

You won't be able to sleep the night before.

Many of our customers dream of collecting their new Porsche in person. They want to be there when the car of their dreams leaves the factory. This way, they can be the first to take their Porsche to its rightful place:

Today, all Porsche engines are constructed here in our main factory in Zuffenhausen, where the legendary 356 was built. You can collect your Boxster, Cayman or 911 from here.

If you've chosen à Cayenne or Panamera,this will be waiting for you at their place of manufacture - in Leipzig.

Where better to experience the passion of Porsche than in the place where it all began? A place characterised by à unique blend of past and future. To take advantage of this fascinating opportunity, please inform your Porsche Centre that you would like to collect your vehicle in Zuffenhausen, or if you purchased à new Panamera or Cayenne, in Leipzig. We will then make all the necessary arrangements to have your Porsche ready by the agreed collection date.

Finding the factory is straight- forward. The easiest way to travel from outside Germany is to fly to Stuttgart, Frankfurt am Main, or Leipzig, and then continue by train, taxi or hire car (which we can

return on your behalf).
