The standard sports seats incorporate high side bolsters on the seat squab and backrest providing additional lateral support. The seat height and fore/aft position are adjusted manually, the backrest electrically.

Comfort seats with electric fore/ aft, height, backrest and lumbar support adjustment are available as an option. The tilt angle of the seat squab is also electrically adjustable. The memory function supports the exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side. Using the control switches in the door panel, it is possible to restore one of two personalised settings. Additionally, you can store a further seat position in each of the ignition keys. As soon as you unlock the door using the key remote, the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors resume their stored position.

The optional adaptive sports seats in leather upholstery combine excellent comfort with first-rate track performance.

Along with all the adjustment features of the comfort seats, the side bolsters on the seat surface and backrest are individually electrically adjustable, for increased comfort on long journeys and tailor-made lateral support through bends or on the racetrack. The memory function supports the exterior mirrors and all driver’s seat positions, apart from the side bolsters.

For the ultimate sports experience, you could opt for sports bucket seats with a folding backrest, integral thorax airbag and manual fore/aft adjustment. The backrest shell is made from glass/carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic and has a stylish carbon-weave finish. The backrest pivots are positioned high in the side bolsters to provide lateral support to the pelvic region characteristic of a race seat. The seat upholstery is offered in all available leather types and colours.

All compatible seats on the Boxster models – apart from sports bucket seats – are equipped with two-level seat heating. Seat ventilation for comfort seats is also available as an option. A slipstream effect evaporates perspiration moisture – for a comfortable seating environment. Ventilation intensity can be set to any of three levels.

* Child restraint systems must not be used in conjunction with sports bucket seats.
