The 2021 Porsche Mission R concept, with 1,073 horsepower, is a showcase of Porsche's EV aspirations

Brad Build's rendering reimagines the Mission R without the wing, allowing for a better appreciation of the car's lines

The original Mission R's design is aggressive and motorsports-inspired, with a prominent wing and red-and-white livery

The rendering's aesthetic is more aftermarket and underground, featuring a unique whitish-pink hue

Some unique touches include multi-spoke BUC-M Rotiform wheels, wrapped in low-profile R888R Toyo tires

The rear 3/4 view, without the wing; is particularly striking, highlighting the car's aggressive diffuser and wide rear tires.

The recently unveiled, Lamborghini Temerario also features a similar design element with exposed rear tires

The production version of the Mission R remains uncertain

But its compact size aligns with Porsche design boss, Micheal Mauer's desire for a smaller 911

The Mission R's E-Core platform will be used in the upcoming all-electric 983 Boxster, improving battery weight distribution.

With the all-electric Porsche 718 on the way, the question rises: How will Porsche make EVs more engaging?

Porsche will not be developing a "manual" for EVs, like Toyota and Hyundai

The "manual" transmission in Toyota and Hyundai EVs works by reducing torque on purpose

But simulating the properties of an ICE-powered vehicle sacrifices performance

Porsche's way of making EVs relatively engaging is by not offering one-pedal driving capabilities

That said, Porsche still offers regenerative braking. It just works a bit differently

Redesigned for 2013 with sleeker styling and improved aerodynamics

Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights provide excellent visibility

A longer wheelbase and wider track improve handling and stability

Fully electric soft top opens or closes in just 9 seconds

The new 2.7-liter boxer-six engine delivers strong performance and efficiency

Choice of 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission

The balanced mid-engine layout delivers exceptional handling and poise

Sportier driving characteristics and smoother ride quality with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) enhances agility and cornering performance

Promising safety with a capable braking system

Electromechanical power steering offers precise control and feedback

Personalized seating experience with four seat types

Enhanced control and performance with the Sport Chrono Package

Redesigned interior with elevated center console creates a driver-focused cockpit

Advanced infotainment system with navigation and Bose surround sound

The 718 is a mid-engine sports car available in coupe (Cayman) and convertible (Boxster) body styles

Despite potential electrification, the current gas-powered 718 remains a phenomenal performance machine

Of all the available 718 trims, the Spyder RS is the most powerful 718 model with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1532

The Spyder RS has a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine producing 493 horsepower

The Spyder RS is equipped with a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission, with RWD

The Spyder RS weighs 3,214 pounds, making it the lightest 718 model

The Spyder RS features a lightweight fabric roof and other weight-saving measures with extensive use of carbon fiber

The optional $12,570 Weissach Package can help reduce weight even further

The Spyder RS offers a visceral driving experience with its naturally aspirated engine and precise handling

The Spyder RS, which retails for $164,200 is the ultimate expression of the 718 format and a must-have for performance enthusiasts

Super SUVs are common today, but the Cayenne-based 2009 RUF Dakara was a groundbreaking model first its time

But the Dakara wasn't just a Cayenne with upgrades; it received a full-blown transformation

The body kit was extensive, featuring flared arches, massive wheels, and a track-worthy rear diffuser.

Its most distinguishing feature was the aggressive front end with 997 headlights

The interior was luxurious with high-quality materials, bespoke white leather seats, and a top-shelf sound system

The performance was phenomenal. The Dakara's tuned engine produced 600 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque

Performance is impressive by modern standards. 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and it had a top speed of 180 mph

Additional features included a stiffer suspension, optional carbon ceramic brakes, and a sport exhaust system.

Modern super SUVs might match its performance, but the Dakara remains unique and collectible

Camouflaged prototypes of the electric Boxster have been spotted undergoing testing since 2022

This recent rendering by klissarov.design depicts the potential design based on the latest spy shots

Key design elements include: Vertical air vents and radar sensors similar to the 992.2 911 Carrera

Edgy, angular headlights inspired by the Taycan

High-mounted rear stop light and rear bumper charge port

This render differs from prototypes by including a full-length light bar and a backlit Porsche logo

The rendering also doesn't feature, what appears to be side-vents as seen on the prototype. But why would the electric Boxster need it if its an EV?

The Boxster EV (983) will be built on Porsche's E-Core platform (seen in the Mission R concept)

The battery pack placement aims to maintain the mid-engine feel of the gas-powered model

Success hinges on replicating the Boxster experience, offering good range, charging, and competitive pricing

The all-electric Boxster 718 is expected to hit the road in 2026. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche's popular compact SUV, the Macan has now gone electric!

Love it or hate it, the new Macan EV looks rad and has grown bigger in size

Porsche initially had the Macan 4 and the Macan Turbo in the lineup, but it recently two more trims: a new base RWD model and a 4S

The Macan EV is the first Porsche EV to underpin the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform

It features the same 100 kWh battery pack as the high-spec models, but there's only one rear-mounted motor instead of two

This Macan EV model cranks 355 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, the lowest in the model range. Porsche claims a 5.4-second 0-60 mph and a top speed of 137 mph

Why would you want the least powerful Macan? For the outstanding driving range. Porsche claims a massive 398 miles on the WLTP cycle

The battery supports 270 kW DC fast charging and will take only 21 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent

Yes, the base Macan gets the least oomph in the group, it still packs all the features you need, like a leather interior and a screen-heavy dashboard

The Macan RWD gets adaptive air suspension by default, and you can opt for a rear-axle steering system if you so desire
