2025 Porsche 718 Boxster EV Testing Before Production

The Porsche 718 Boxster EV is making waves as it continues its rigorous testing at the Nürburgring, giving us a glimpse into what the all-electric roadster might offer. Porsche's decision to electrify the 718 lineup marks a significant step toward the future, with the Nürburgring serving as the ultimate proving ground for its handling, speed, and endurance. Early prototypes have been spotted tackling the demanding track, hinting at impressive performance capabilities and a refined electric powertrain.
While official specs are still under wraps, the Boxster EV is expected to offer substantial power, likely rivaling its combustion-engine predecessors. The electric powertrain could potentially deliver instant torque, enhancing acceleration, cornering, and overall driving dynamics, which Porsche is known for. Expect a driving experience that retains the spirit of the 718, but with the added benefits of electric power, such as near-silent operation and a more eco-friendly footprint.
The Nürburgring testing suggests Porsche is focused on ensuring the EV can handle intense driving scenarios while maintaining the brand's legendary precision. As development continues, enthusiasts can expect more details to emerge, solidifying the Porsche 718 Boxster EV as a key player in the electric sports car segment.

Bad idea.

[@Boostleaked]

The EV absolutely no one asked for.

[@darrenc5563]

Porsche did a tremendous job with the 992.2 GTS hybrid. But they slaughtered the Boxster/cayman with this disastrous drivetrain.

[@dmomcilovic9185]

A year after release you will pick one up at 30% of new price.

[@jayyoon7578]

with horrible design.

[@jonSLAYR]

Could’ve just made a Taycan coupe and kept the Cayman ICE

[@infamouseli92]

Damn good point

[@andresmattos7541]

Is gonna be OVERPRICED

[@infamouseli92]

That’s is true

[@gery_der_kaeferfahrer]

I'm looking forward to this car 🥰

[@patrickmassicotte7143]

I suspect the flat 6 will come back in a few years. Just like what happened with the flat 4 - people complained and Porsche came to their senses.

[@unknownunknowns]

It’ll come back all right, but as long as it meets the minimum emission standards.

[@michaelba181]

The main question is, how many laps can it go until it starts overheating and reducing the power. Maximum range, weight and topspeed? It will be faster than the old Boxster on the first lap, but what happens on the second lap at the Nordschleife?

[@darrenc5563]

You bet this will be one of the greatest depreciating Porsche right next tot the Taycan.

[@876yuugt]

it's going to be disgustingly heavy... and it's a "sports car." Pathetic.

[@PhonyBologna]

sub 3600 lbs

[@876yuugt]

@PhonyBologna too heavy. Those are GT lbs. Inertia is a b**** And horrible on consumables

[@PhonyBologna]

@@876yuugt M2 coupe weighs over 3800. The 911 weighs over 3800 in some trims too, guess it isn't a real sports car. Most 911s slot in around 3650. Way to be a bigot.

[@876yuugt]

@PhonyBologna inertia is a b!tch. And they'll all be horrible on consumables. Way too heavy. Lmk when there's no Lizzo options. All negatives with weight. It's the enemy - Ettore Bugatti Simplify then add lightness- Colin Chapman. The new M2 is a pig. 3900 lbs? 🤡🐘 They're GTs. Not sports cars... Way to hate physics and transient response. And thanks for letting us all know you can't drive and you don't track 🏎🍻

[@miurasv]

​@PhonyBologna you have 0 skils. Never been near a track. And it shows.

[@lensoprezole5322]

Just hoping it stays below 1500 kilograms. Otherwise i will wait to buy the second generation Alpine A110 instead. Which is confirmed to stay below 1400 kilograms.

[@lyrith2422]

I'm thinking of buying this for my mom. What do you think? I don't think she wants an engine car because she drives a lot of short distances and needs a lot of maintenance. This is an easy and comfortable convertible electric car that even grandma can drive.

[@MarMPB]

All that silence is very annoying 😂

[@MrCyberamp]

Porsche thinks they need to go EV. It's not what they actually wanted.

[@mortenberg2897]

That’s true

[@mathiasgross8290]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what ja joke.....

[@hwirtwirt4500]

Yes you are.

[@Vinay-yz3wd]

Better be lightweight or it’s a disgrace

[@876yuugt]

@@hwirtwirt4500 it'll be heavier than your mom. Ew....

[@craig8638]

Yes please. Preferably in the hardtop. This would be such and an amazing daily.

[@circonflexechess]

I do think there is a market for such EV car, but the design, if it stay the same, seems to be a complete failure

[@kurtvonmechling]

i like the Taycan coupe suggestion maybe should have been a Taycan Suv as well and left the others alone… i have a 718 spyder and a cybertruck (daily)

[@sera7636]

I can't understand why they changed the model and why they are destroying the beautiful original.

[@unknownunknowns]

I get Porsche needs to meet emission standards but I guess we’ll see…

[@mortenberg2897]

If you want an convertible EV - save a lot of money and buy the MG Cyberster. That’s equally pointless ….

[@haleohanamalama2967]

Who cares for a 2 ton+ EV? All they need is just update the interior of 718.

[@waltvancourt5052]

Emotionless, keep it in the EU.

[@chiuhomes1]

It is a failed product for Porsche and will definitely not sell well in the future.

[@ajfreshkid]

I don't get all the negativity and moaning. The 911 is still ice and the Taycan is known to be fun to drive and has a decent interior noise. So I've got faith that Porsche is gonna do what they do best, make a car that's great to drive 🤷

[@876yuugt]

@ajfreshkid because no driver with skills wants a 3500 lbs + Boxster... Some of us know the only way to have excellent driving dynamics is with ligh weight. Weight is the enemy. It's the killer of fun

[@infamouseli92]

I hope so but basic on how EVs are selling lately I doubt it

[@jonSLAYR]

The Cayman was Porsches best platform, mid engine, lightweight, nimble, more affordable, bare bones sports-car. Adding this much weight and needing to supercharge on lengthy drives isn’t a great sales pitch. I’m sure it’ll be somewhat fun to drive especially for non driving enthusiasts and Tesla fans who brag over their cars 0-60 times. But they really had a great vehicle, introducing a hybrid system would’ve been so much better than completely going EV. I could see it in ten years when batteries are lighter and range is far superior but now seems too early after only 3 iterations to go full EV.

[@ajfreshkid]

@@jonSLAYR fair points sir

[@craig8638]

@@876yuugt how much does the 911 weigh? How many cars weigh 3500 pounds or less?

[@seekinginformationca]

Comments are hilarious. No one wants this rolling iPhone

[@maximeb.2159]

For example Taycan is a superb car but the depreciation is very huge after just one year! If you dont want to loose money, dont buy EVs !!!!!

[@PhonyBologna]

Don't buy a car* FTFY

[@BRAN911]

Better turning it into an EV, than down-sizeing it's engines. 2l 4-cyl turbo^^...THAT was the real disgrace. What would have come next, 1,5l 3-cyl? I would rather drive a silent EV Boxster, than a lawn mower engine powered Boxster.

[@alexschuster9567]

We drove a 718 S and it was pretty amazing. Not saying better but much more than we will ever use on the street.

[@ERTZZTRE]

Nobody will buy this!

[@frederikebert1985]

This is just wrong!!!!

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Ev’s arent fun

[@876yuugt]

because they're way too heavy. Inertia is a bitch and weight is the enemy. I've tested GT3 cars and race shifter karts. You obviously don't have a grasp of physics...

How UNinspiring, no exhaust=NO GOOD! A truly DUMB move on Porsches part. They should produce gas and electric for years to come, they've given the Macan a reprieve for at least an additional year.

[@NewCastleIndiana]

If you differentiate it by making it shorter or the space that the engine filled make it seat/parcel shelves.

[@shy1897]

Don't have rear wing?

Not going to judge it until it’s been driven.
