Six-speed manual gearbox.
The new Boxster models are equipped
as standard with a light weight six-speed
manual gearbox. Gearshifts are smooth
and optimally adapted to the respective
engine map. Shift throws are short and
sport y and the gear lever is easy to oper -
ate, enabling a rapid gearshift action and
providing a truly engaging driving experi -
ence. The upshift indicator located in the
central circular instrument helps you to
maximise fuel efficiency.
The elevated centre console gives you an
authentic sports car feel. It positions the
gear lever close to the steering wheel, which enables you to change gear as fast
and as ergonomically as possible.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Available as an option for the new Boxster
models is a completely retuned 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 con
-
sumption 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.
The design of PDK is similar to t wo
conventional gearboxes in one. The odd
numbered gears are housed on one
assembly and the even numbered gears
on another, each having its own clutch.
While one gear is engaged, PDK pre-
selects the next gear based on driver
input. When the next gear is requested,
drive is switched from one clutch to
the other in milliseconds, delivering gear
changes with no loss of drive.

2 emissions please refer to page 127.
