Passive safety: engineered
design.
The deformation zone at the
front of the vehicle contains a
system of longitudinal and lateral
members which absorb the
energy in the event of an impact.
The fuel tank and fuel lines are
safely positioned outside the
deformation zone. Together with
the rigid side structures, high-
strength steel elements in the
doors provide exceptional side-
impact protection. The reinforced
windscreen frame and the roll-
over bars positioned behind the
seats provide an ef fective barrier
if the car overturns. Energy-
absorbing materials are used at
key points throughout the passen -
ger compartment.
Both Boxster models are fit ted
as
standard with an airbag system
comprising t wo full-size front air -
bags as well as dedicated head
and thorax airbags (POSIP, p. 67)
on each side. This arrangement
ensures optimum upper-body
protection, even when the hood is
open. For added comfort and
safet y, the three-point belts have
integrated force limiters and
pretensioners.
Roll-over protection.
The front area of the cockpit is
protected by a robust steel
element integrated invisibly into
the windscreen frame. The rear
roll-over bars are made from high-
strength steel and are located
behind the seats. Their flat tened
form ensures high safet y, and
harmoniously follows the lines of
the seat backrests. The upper
seat-belt anchorage points are
at tached to the bars for greater
accessibility and comfort.
Porsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP).
Both Boxster models are equipped
with Porsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) as standard.
This consists of t wo airbags on
each side. The outer bolsters of
the seats contain a thorax air-
bag and each door contains a head
airbag. Each has a volume of
around 8 litres, ensuring high
protection in the event of a side
impact, even when the hood is
open. The passenger cell is also
shielded by side impact protec -
tion beams in the doors.
Child seats.*
For our youngest Boxster pas-
sengers, the Porsche Tequipment
range of accessories includes
child seats and the necessary
preparation. This comprises an
ISOFIX fixing bracket for mount -
ing the Porsche child seats, and
a key switch to deactivate the
passenger airbag.
