Recently, we went into more detail about how the prototypes themselves have evolved over the past two years. But now, they come together rather nicely in this render by klissarov.design. Upfront, most of the design details from the spy shots like the edgy and angular Taycan-inspired four-point LED headlights, the verticle functional vertical active air vents and radar sensor in the bumper similar to the latest 992.2-gen 911 Carrera 4 GTS, and the high-mounted vertical stop light on the rear decklid, and the charge port door on the rear bumper are all there. If I had to highlight some of the differences here, it would have to be the presence of a full-length light bar with a back-lit Porsche logo and the absence of a side-air vent, as seen on the prototype. But why would it need one, this is an EV after all. Besides that, this render is a very faithful representation of what the upcoming all-electric sportscar could look like.

We have previously touched upon some of the technical aspects of Porsche’s first electric sportscar and what to expect from it. To refresh your memory, the Boxster EV (983), is expected to be built upon Porsche’s E-Core platform seen in the 2021 Mission R concept. In order to stay true to the Boxster formula, weight distribution (owing to the battery pack’s position behind the driver) will be a vital element in capturing the mid-engine feel and driving dynamics of the gas-powered model, and the E-Core platform will help in achieving that. As for performance, CarandDriver estimates an additional 200 horsepower than the current gas-powered model and an estimated 250 miles of driving range. We know for sure that simulated gear shifts won’t be part of Porsche’s EV models.

While we will continue to see more all-electric models, including a rumored compact 911, join the Porsche lineup, it is worth noting that the German automaker has backtracked a bit on its previously ambitious 2030 EV strategy owing to slower adoption across the industry, the all-electric Boxster could serve as a great way to gauge reception from purists. As I previously mentioned, getting that Boxster formula right along with the driving range, the charging experience,, and pricing will be vital to its success, as the competition isn’t going anywhere with a slew of upcoming sportscars expected in the $45,000 - $65,000 price range. Now I get that these models probably won’t directly compete with the Boxster EV, but they do stand a chance to offer similar performance at a lower price point. With the production of the gas-powered 718 ending in 2025, expect the all-electric Boxster to hit the road in 2026. However, If things don’t go to plan, I wonder if there’s room for a Boxster Hybrid with the T-Hybrid system? Watch this space.
