precision by means of electro -
magnetically actuated injection
valves. The injection spray
and cone angles are tuned for
optimum mixture preparation
and combustion.
The results are increased
power output and torque, along
with lower fuel consumption
and emissions.
Top athletes always impress
because their hearts serve
as their engines. At Porsche,
this is nothing new.
The heart of the Boxster Spyder
has a particularly powerful
beat, and a pulse rate fit for
high performance.
Indeed, the engine features
direct fuel injection (DFI)
as standard. Fuel is injected
At Porsche, everything is open to improvement.
This is not a concession, it’s our motivation.
State-of-the-art engine technolo -
gies, e.g. VarioCam Plus, further
improve ef ficiency. This system
boosts low-end torque and high -
end power output.
Fuel injection and ignition
are controlled by the engine
electronics. The driver regulates
engine power using the
extremely sensitive electronic
accelerator pedal. The exhaust system, with its
short twin tailpipe finished in
black, not only creates a bold
visual accent but also provides
a distinctive sport y sound.
The sound builds to a crescendo
as the rev range increases in
conjunction with the optional
sports exhaust system.
