where Porsche in the plan of electrification? The least we can say is that Volkswagen’s sports division takes this topic head on compared to the rest of its competition. In fact, if Maserati got into it recently, with his Gran Turismo Folgore, for Aston Martin or McLaren we are still looking for a strategy to adopt. Thus, in 2019, the Stuttgart firm launched its first 100% electric model: the Taycan. This four-door sedan wants to compete with Tesla. So much so that Porsche initially preferred the electrification of a sedan rather than a sports car. Especially since she was developed together with Audias she shares it J1 platform with e-tron GT. Another electric sports four-door sedan. Although An electric Macan is in the pipeline its arrival has been long awaited for some time, and it will not be presented until the end of the year.

Before electric 911, priority 718

But Porsche’s DNA isn’t sedans no SUVs but good sports ! Therefore, the brand is actively preparing an electric version of one of its models. One can recall the 911, Porsche’s business card and flagship model. But electrifying the model is already expensive, and after the elite Taycan, Porsche is suitable for develop a more affordable electric before turning his big 911s into Volts. So this is his the younger sister of 718, which will be served first ! THE Cayman Coupe and Boxster Convertible electricity will appear in 2025. But we already know something about it. And even better, there were several test copies of it surprised on the road!

Already saw it on the road

As Mission R concept which should represent some of its styling, it will take on Porsche’s new electrical codes. As first introduced on the Mission E concept in 2015 and carried over to the Taycan. From the front, his Full LED projectors will consist of four partswhile behind a a long light streak – Porsche gimmick – will run between two lights. Even if it is well disguised, we recognize the characteristic silhouette of the thermal 718 we know. She will keep it central-posterior architecture, for good weight distribution. Because Porsche says it and repeats it: even electric is out of the question undermine the feeling of driving. It is not yet known whether Porsche will equip it with a single electric motor on the rear axle. Or if a all-wheel drive will be offered as an option. Given its fairly light camouflage, it appears to be well on its way to existence submitted earlier than expected
