BOXSTER S uses the Motronic ME 7.2 engine management system previously seen in the 911 Carrera 4. Compared to the Motronic M 5.2 featured on the original Boxster, the big difference is the electronic accelerator pedal or E-Gas.

Porsche says E-Gas imroves cruise control accuracy and increases smoothness when taking off or changing gears in the optional Tiptronic S gearbox.
