Recently, overseas media exposed the espionage photos of the new Porsche 718 pure electric version. Previously, the brand officially confirmed that the next generation of Porsche 718Boxster and Cayman will only provide pure electric versions, and the new car is expected to debut in 2023, start production around the end of 2024, and officially come into the market in 2025. Porsche has planned to invest about 3.6 billion yuan in the Zuffenhausen factory in Germany for production preparation.

The new Porsche 718 pure electric version will be built based on the PPE architecture jointly developed with Audi. At the same time, the new Macan pure electric SUV under Porsche will also be built through the PPE architecture in Leipzig, Germany. According to the spy photos exposed this time, the new car is the same as the current fuel model in terms of styling. The new generation of Porsche 718 Boxster EV still adopts the body proportion of the mid engine. At the same time, it also uses the design concept of the Porsche Mission R concept car for reference, especially in the front area of the vehicle. The headlights of the vehicle adopt a rectangular design, and the size of the closed air intake grille has been improved. However, the car is currently in the early testing stage, so many regions may undergo significant changes before the release of the mass production version.

Relevant people have said that the focus of future mass production vehicles is the sense of handling, feedback and sound quality, while the acceleration ability and absolute performance are not so important. It is worth mentioning that although it has been reported that the new Porsche 718 pure electric version may not be suitable to be equipped with a dual motor system in order to reduce weight, the latest news also shows that new cars in the future may still launch single motor rear drive and dual motor four-wheel drive models, of which the power of the single motor model may be as high as 500 horsepower.
