An All-Electric Porsche 718 Boxster By 2025?

Porsche has made much of its commitment to moving towards electric vehicles, and we’ve already seen concrete steps in that direction. The company has introduced the Taycan, the electric Macan is in the works and other models will follow. According to Car and Driver, one of them could be the 718 Boxster, which Porsche plans to produce in an all-electric version in 2025.

Various internal and external sources at Porsche told the U.S. magazine that the future 718 Boxster will be all-electric. In getting to that, it will follow a different path than the 911, which, again according to Car and Driver, will keep its combustion engine beyond 2030 and may never switch to hybridity.

Indeed, it’s difficult to imagine an electric 911. It would be a Porsche, but it would no longer really be a 911.

The 718 would continue to be sold as in Boxster and Cayman formats. Its styling would remain relatively similar to the current models, though expect the front end to be Taycan-inspired.

Recall that the design of the next 718 has just been foreshadowed by the Mission R concept shown at the Munich Auto Show. That prototype gives a good idea of what a production 718 Cayman EV could look like.
