Sounds like it's going to be a concept version of the new electric Boxster. The production Macan is due before the production electric Boxster too.

I wonder if the electric Boxster is going to actually receive a new name and not just be the "electric Boxster"? I suspect it will. Porsche would want to create a distinction between the ICE Boxster and the new electric sports car.

This is the car that will make me drop my Taycan like it's hot.

And when they eventually build me an electric 911 Targa, I'll drop the E-Boxster too.

The electric Boxster’s supposed to be a MY 2025. This article talks about unveiling a “vision” and I certainly hope that they’re past the “vision” phase for the e718 at this point.

I have a $1000 allocation/order deposit down for the 2025 E Cayman….

I really wonder what the weight and battery size will turn out on this.

I never understood Porsche saying they’ll never make a 911 ev. The popularity of the Taycan must surely change their minds? I’ll definitely reserve an electric Cayman but suspect it’s two years away realistically. Until then a Taycan will do … tough life??

They're pandering. The word "never" does not even make sense in that context. For a ridiculous example, they can't tell what the people only born today will do, once they're old enough to be in charge of Porsche. I bet there's tons of things that Porsche in, say, 1975 claimed they will "never" do that nobody cares about today.

At least make a Taycan without the stupid 2 extra doors and rear seat we don't need!

Totally agree. They also said for decades they‘d never do diesel engines. And then they had them for years in Cayenne, Panamera and Macan.

Same here. My wife is #1 at my dealer for the 718 EV. Her Taycan will be traded in.
