Porsche is preparing to say goodbye to combustion engines for the 718 lineup as the next-generation Boxster and Cayman will be available strictly as electric sports cars. Ahead of a 2025 launch, the soft-top convertible has been spied in motion near the Arctic Circle conducting cold-weather testing. It was making some futuristic sounds courtesy of an external speaker mandatory on EVs in many parts of the world to alert pedestrians and cyclists.
The heavily camouflaged prototype couldn't conceal the traditional mid-engined layout even though there's no turbocharged flat-four or a naturally aspirated flat-six behind the seats. After a prototype of the Taycan facelift was spotted with a TDI badge, Porsche's running joke continues with a fake exhaust tip on this electric prototype. Look closer and you can see the cutout in the rear bumper for the cap covering the charging port.
