The suspension of the Boxster models has been tuned to match the engine’s increased performance. Lightweight coil-over McPherson struts are combined with lateral control arms to ensure excellent driving dynamics and safety on all road surfaces. The axle kinematics are designed for high performance, as is the generous wheel track.

Lightweight construction throughout keeps the overall weight and unsprung masses low, with almost all moving parts made from aluminium.

The mid-engine design, in combination with the complex chassis technology, results in minimum roll and pitch movements on cornering, braking and acceleration.

The chassis of the Boxster models ensures high safety reserves irrespective of load, and easily controllable load transfer when cornering. Cornering stability is exemplary, even in high-speed bends. The same applies to straight-line stability.
