Porsche Boxster S PDK, Mid-engined Sports Car or the Back, with a Performance that Became the Benchmark Competitors

Who is not familiar with the Porsche? Exotic brand of origin Germany is popular with mid-engined sports car or the back, with a performance that became the benchmark competitors in its class.
This time, we tested one of the interesting Porsche, namely two passenger roadster 981 Boxster S (or commonly referred to with the Boxster S on).
On our test unit, mechanical berjantung sedan 3.6 litre boxer has already provided a myriad of optional features, and it seems to be too long if it mentioned one by one. But, we can mention the most important thing here is the Sport Chrono Package that controls PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and transmission with PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung/dual clutch).

Boxster is a pretty model get a place in the hearts of the fans, because this is an entry level Porsche Variant. Boxster also had become the biggest coffers gatherer for Porsche since it was introduced in 1996 and then, before his position was now moved by the Cayenne SUV.

INTERIOR
As a prestigious car, of course so enchanting and fresh interior Boxster, starting from the material used to finishing him. Porsche Interior (any model) can always be ordered appropriate choices and tastes of consumers. Porsche offers a range of options for the interior, ranging from color to the choice seats (Sport Seat Plus or Adaptive Sport Seat Plus). Boxster S we test using natural skin material called Espresso leather with red that, honestly, very attractive, with an optional Sport Seat Plus, electric that has the settings.

ly).

Architecturally, the Interior reminded us on 911 or even the Panamera. This can be understood because the Boxster Porsche is one that uses the latest Porsche interior design theme.

Entrance was rather troublesome, because this car is low. However, when it's been sitting in the driver's seat, you'll be surprised by the breadth of the field of view. The Chair was indeed lower positioned about 5 mm to produce the leg room is more relief, so that the driver does not quickly get tired while driving away.

More than that, the windshield that advanced and gentle, became one of the contributions to the breadth of the field of view on a Boxster.

FEATURES AND MACHINE
The engine relies on boxer six-cylinder (flat-6) 3.6 litre normally aspirated (no turbo). As is known, the boxer engine configuration took the movement of the cylinder horizontally, not vertically like most regular car engine. The mechanical heart was placed in the middle (mid engine), or between the cabin and the rear axle. So, don't be surprised if you will find two luggage (front and back), but could not open the machine because it is insulated under the floor of the trunk back.

 

These machines claimed 15% more efficient than previous models, and capable of producing power 315 hp (at 6,700 rpm), with a maximum torque of 360 Nm are available from 4,500 rpm up to 5,800 rpm. Power and torque is transmitted to the rear wheels through a transmission with 7-speed PDK technologies, or other term is double-clutch transmission with dual clutch. How it works any more or less the same as other dual clutch transmission. Most standard version of the Boxster merely provided a 6-speed manual transmission.

Most of the mono platform Edition is made from aluminum. While in some parts are made of a mixture of magnesium and high-power steel, in order to save weight. In addition, 46% of his body made of aluminum materials also. According to Porsche, Boxster S with PDK transmission now has weight 1,350 kg or 30 kg lighter than the previous generation (Boxster 987). This is a help to relieve the working machine, so it can be more efficient.

This latest Boxster looks "contains". And it's true, the axis of the wheel is now 60 mm longer, the distance the wheel (track) foothold ahead of any extended 40 mm, and the distance of the foothold back expanded 18 mm. Magnification is not solely for the sake of a more airy cabin, because this is still a car for two people. But, more important, for the sake of stability. The wheelbase is longer plus tracks that wide, making the car more stable in both the straight roads or while devouring the bend.

The design was not going to make us incorrectly attributing it. From afar this pun was already seen as a Porsche. Three intakes in the front with a light projector, make it looks more fierce. While in the back of the exotic-looking design with a dynamic brake lights and dent aft clean. In this section, the wings will appear hidden if necessary to aid aerodynamics.
