Porsche wants to lead hairdressers into the electric era with the upcoming Boxster EV, which should be an interesting proposal in the sports car segment, together with its fixed-roof sibling, the Cayman EV.
All jokes aside, Porsche is taking the development and fine-tuning phase of the all-quiet roadster seriously. The Zuffenhausen brand continues to keep certain design traits under wraps, though our latest encounter with a prototype allows us to see the production headlamps in a premiere.

Sporting a very Taycan-ish style, they could be the matrix LED units that can project the beam of light up to 600 meters (1,970 feet) in front of the car. Another thing worth mentioning is the rear light assembly, which seems to feature a full-width light strip for more dramatic appearances at night combined with enhanced visibility.

Don't mind the tailpipe trim as it is fake and serves a double role: to confuse bystanders into thinking it is a Boxster fed by dead dinosaurs and to hide some of the rear bumper design. There are no side vents carved into the rear quarter panels as there is no internal combustion engine to feed air to, and overall, the EV looks like a cleaner evolution of its predecessor.

The interior partially opened to the camera last month, revealing the two main screens incorporated into a new dashboard panel. The car still has multiple physical buttons, a new center console with numerous controls, and some aircraft-style switches. The minimalist drive selector was also visible, and so was the new steering wheel, as well as other elements.

As you have probably figured out, the Porsche Boxster EV, together with the all-quiet Cayman, will be offered with an assortment of powertrains and battery packs. The lesser versions of both vehicles will launch with a single-motor assembly that will drive the rear wheels. Upper specs will add a second motor for an electric all-wheel drive. We also expect Porsche to introduce longer-range options targeting those who want to use the upcoming two-door EVs on a daily basis.

Those interested in the Porsche Boxster EV will have to wait until late next year to see it in an official environment, as that is when the wraps are believed to come off. The production should kick off shortly after the grand premiere of the electric roadster, and we think the first copies will start arriving at dealers in worldwide markets in the first half of 2025.

Chances are the Boxster EV will be a 2025 model by the time it launches in the United States, though we wouldn't rule out a potential introduction for the 2026 model year. So, could this be the car to convince you to go electric (if you haven't already)?
