Porsche: 2007 Boxster Features Tire Pressure Monitoring System

More gadgets for Porsche's entry model.

The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S mid-engined sports cars will be given more power and torque via new engines featuring Porsche VarioCam Plus. For the 2007 model year, the capabilities of the drop-top roadsters are also extended with an updated version of the optional Tiptronic S automatic transmission and additional functions of the optional Sport Chrono Package.

Standard on the 2007 Boxster models is Porsche's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which continuously monitors the air pressure in each tire. Through its warning function, TPC not only offers extra safety, and the reduced risk of tire damage, but it also monitors any gradual loss of pressure from the tires, helping prevent inconsistent, or unequal tire wear and excessive fuel consumption.

The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S go on sale in North America in August. U.S. pricing for the new models is $45,600 and $55,500 respectively.
