Porsche Boxster (987.2): Options & Equipment

Select a trim at left to see its specific options and standard equipment. “No charge” marks no-cost equipment and “—” marks an option whose period price has not yet been sourced. Showing 2009 prices: “Not offered” marks equipment that wasn’t on that year’s order sheet, which is different from a price we haven’t sourced.
Background
For the 2009 model year the Boxster received revised engines and gearboxes. The base engine grew from 2.7 to 2.9 litres, while the Boxster S kept 3.4 litres and gained direct fuel injection. The five-speed Tiptronic S gave way to PDK, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and both models had a six-speed manual as standard.
The Boxster Spyder joined for 2011 as a lighter version of the Boxster S. It replaced the electrically operated soft top with a manually fitted fabric roof, used aluminium doors and an aluminium rear lid, and had pull straps in place of interior door handles. Its 3.4-litre engine was offered with the six-speed manual or PDK.
Exterior changes included revised bumpers, LED daytime running lights and LED tail lamps. As with the 997, the .2 suffix is common shorthand for the revised car rather than a separate Porsche type number. The Cayman received the same mechanical changes for the same model year.
