The Upcoming Porsche 983 Boxster Has Been Spied In The Wild

Earlier This Year, It Was Spotted Somewhere Close To The Artic Circle On A Winter Test

Here How Porsche Could Capture The Essence Of A Gas-Powered Sportscar With The All-Electric Boxster

Weight Distribution, Battery Placement And Center Of Gravity Are The Biggest Challenges For An EV Sports Car

The Battery Pack Will Likely Be Placed In The Rear Of The Car, Traditionally Where The Engine Would Be In An ICE Car

This Is Similar To The 'E-Core' Layout Used In All-Electric Porsche's Misson R Concept Car

This Layout Prioritizes A Low Driver Seating Position, Which Gives It An Afvantage Over Under The Floor Battery Packs

The Upcoming Boxster EV Should Feature One Of The Mission R's Electric Motors On The Rear Axle, Making Around 400 HP

The Mission R Concept Car Also Features Several Innovative Weight Reduction Technologies

This Includes Body Panels Made Up Of Natutal Fibre Infused Materials, 3D Printed Gear Box And Smaller Brakes

This Keeps The Mission R Curb Wright At 3,300 Pounds

We Have Already Seen These Performance Gains Trickle Down Into The Porsche 718 Cayman ePerformance Prototype

We Could See Similar Gains In The New Cayman EV, Seen Here in Our Rendering Of How It Can Look

Like other Porsche names, the "Targa" comes from racing

In this case, the Targa Florio, in Sicily, which Porsche won 10 times

All 911s score a retro-futuristic design, but the Targa goes further with the signature B-pillar from the 1965, original 911 Targa

Porsche calls its 911 Targa, the first "safety" convertible, due to the fixed roll bar

The Targa's retractable roof uses identical mechanism to the 911 Cabriolet

The Porsche 992's retractable Targa top goes down in 19 seconds

The Targa top can also be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph

Versatility comes at a cost. At 3,847 lbs, the 992 Targa is the heaviest 911 ever made

Porsche 992 Targa is offered only as an all-wheel-drive model

In 4 GTS guise, the 992.2 Targa comes with Porsche's new T-Hybrid powertrain and does 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Despite the additionally-reinforced chassis, the 992 Targa is not the best choice for track days, especially with the top down

The 992 Targa is the most GT-oriented 911. It comes with a softer suspension setting

However, The Porsche 992 Targa is as practical as the fixed-head coupe while adding versatility

Both the GT3 and the GT3 RS, based on the 992.1 pack race-bred performance

But, do you know why the GT3 RS has a side vent, but the standard GT3 lacks one

There are two main theories for the missing side vent on the GT3

The GT3 RS produces extra power and requires more cooling for the engine under pressure

However, both models pack the same naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine making 503 and 518 hp respectively

The actual reason for the side vent on the RS is for improved aerodynamics, which come courtesy of the aggressive bodywork

The GT3 RS produces three times the downforce compared to the GT3 and the side vent plays a part

The vent helps create a vacuum and reduce air resistance at the rear of the car.

The GT3 RS sacrifices a slightly higher top speed (184 mph) for better track performance

With lesser downforce, the standard GT3 has a higher top speed at 197 mph

Also, the GT3 uses the Carrera's narrow-body platform

The GT3 RS meanwhile uses the wider body of the Turbo

The wider body of the RS allows for more aerodynamic features besides the side vent.

The 2025 992.2 911 Carrera GTS is the first production hybrid 911

It's powered by a new 3.6-liter single-turbo flat-six and an e-motor, generating a healthy 532 hp and 449 lb-ft of torque

Porsche calls the hybrid system "T-Hybrid", which basically indicates a turbocharger with a e-motor, helping it to spool up without the exhaust gas

A separate electric-motor placed in the 8-speed PDK is powered by a compact 1.9 kWh battery pack

The 2025 Carrera GTS is like the trial pack before the true king of speed drops, the 992.2 911 Turbo S

Since the Carrera GTS features a larger displacement mill for 2025, we can expect the same with the forthcoming 911 Turbo S facelift

The estimated power figures of the 992.2 Turbo S could be around the 700 horsepower mark

Also, there's a concern of increased weight affecting the 0-60 mph time of the 992.2 Turbo S

The facelifted Carrera GTS gets to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, which is half a second quicker than before

So, you could expect the upcoming Turbo S to deliver a sub-2-second 0-60 mph

Toyota's upcoming MR-2 will be a high-performance mid-engine sports car

It will likely be considerably cheaper than the Porsche 718 which currently starts at $72,800

Initial reports that Toyota will co-develop the MR-2 with Suzuki and Daihatsu turned out to be false

Instead, the three car companies will cooperate to make a Mazda MX-5 competitor. Each marque will feature distinctive styling and name

Another rumor suggested that the 2026 Toyota MR-2 would share an engine with the GR Corolla which was also false

However, Toyota developed 2 new engines that will be widely featured in future models

One of them is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-four, which will make up to 400 horsepower

The MR-2 and Celica will share this new engine, where it will make the full 400 horsepower and 405 pound-feet

This puts the 2026 Toyota MR-2 in the same performance segment as the Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 and GT4

Rumor has it, the new MR-2 could be manual-only

Other likely transmission options are the 8-speed automatic or a new 7-speed DCT that would be available on the Supra GRMN

The design of Toyota FT Se Concept will still serve as the inspiration for the MR-2 styling

We'll have to wait and watch if Toyota's upcoming mid-engine sports car can get a slice of the 718 market. Watch this space.

The first hybrid 911 isn't the only significant change for 2025

The base 911 Carrera gets a hefty bump in power thanks to a revised, 3.0-liter flat-six

992.1 GTS hardware can be found in the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera

The 992.2 Carrera features revised cooling and GTS turbochargers

Judging by the 992.1 Carrera dyno pulls, power for the 2025 will be a lot more than advertised

The 992.1 Carrera actually makes around 440 horsepower - WAY more than advertised

Judging by the 2025 improvements, the 992.2 Carrera will make a lot more than the advertised 388 horsepower

Porsche is notorious for downplaying the 911 figures, explaining how its sports car punches above its weight
