Oh look, it's Porsche's new electric Boxster - and we've spied it testing in the wild 📸
that silently cruised up the Goodwood hill climb at this year’s Festival of Speed. The electric Boxster and Cayman is happening, folks, and it’s been unfurling in front of our eyes for some time now.
Porsche has hinted before that some styling elements from the Mission R concept may find their way onto a production car. And while the chunky cladding on this prototype makes it a bit challenging to pick the design apart, the thin rear light strip looks as though it might have come from the Mission R. It sits higher than on the current 718, too, just as it does on the EV concept.
Of course, while we’ll likely see some visual cues taken from the Mission R, it’s unlikely we’ll see similar performance numbers. Both the Mission R and Cayman GT4 ePerformance develop 1,088hp from a pair of electric motors at either end of the vehicle. They’re also based on 900-volt architecture , allowing 340kW charging for a five to 80 per cent battery top up in just 15 minutes. Numbers like that on a road car would be astounding – and unfathomable on Porsche’s sports car entry point.
Judging by the heavy disguise, it looks like we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands until the production model is released. Besides, the 718’s switch to electric power isn’t due for another two years, so there’s still plenty of time to pick up Boxster or Cayman that have fully functioning exhaust outlets. We suggest you do.
