Think fast—Porsche’s next move might be its boldest. The rumored 2026 718 Boxster blends classic roadster purity with a ground-up electric platform, aiming to keep feather-touch agility while adding instant thrust. Picture the roof down at sunrise, a taut chassis threading switchbacks, and a powertrain that answers the moment you breathe on the pedal. If you’ve wondered whether an EV can still feel like a mid-engine Porsche, stick around—this is where tradition meets tech.
Start at the nose. Expect a cleaner, lower fascia with active aero shutters tucked into wide corner intakes—open for cooling, closed for efficiency. Slimmer matrix LED lamps with a hint of Carrera GT sit above a reprofiled splitter and flat undertray to tame lift. A small frunk preserves weekday usability. Wheels should start at 19 inches, with staggered 20s—or lightweight 21s on the ‘S’—and big cross-drilled rotors with multi-piston calipers for consistent stops. Along the flanks the proportions stay unmistakably Boxster—short overhangs, compact wheelbase, and a crisp shoulder—only leaner. Hidden door pulls and tighter panel gaps clean the air; a discreet charge port sits in the front fender. The fabric roof remains quick and quiet, with extra acoustic layers. At the tail, a razor-thin light bar spans a vented deck above a functional diffuser where exhaust tips once lived. Every crease serves aero balance, not ornament.
Powertrain time. Expect rear-drive as standard, with a single permanent-magnet motor around 330–360 hp; a dual-motor AWD ‘S’ could reach 440–470 hp. Two battery sizes are likely, about 70–85 kWh usable, with an estimated EPA range up to 280 miles. Porsche’s 800-V architecture should allow rapid DC charging—think 10–80% in roughly 22 minutes on high-power hardware—plus pre-conditioning that warms the pack as you navigate to a charger. Numbers matter, but feel is king. By concentrating mass low and central, this EV targets the poise of a mid-engine layout—quick steering, neutral rotation, and tidy exits. Expect a retuned PASM adaptive setup, Porsche Torque Vectoring for the rear axle, and optional rear-steer to tighten hairpins. Engineers may employ a two-ratio gearbox on the rear motor for punch off the line and efficient cruising, paired with tunable regen that lets skilled drivers ‘trail-brake’ on electrons.
Our best estimate pegs the 2026 718 Boxster from $82,500 in the U.S., with a well-equipped AWD ‘S’ near $96,500 before options. A late-2025 global reveal feels likely, order books opening shortly after, and first customer deliveries beginning in early 2026—reaching key Asian and European markets by mid-year. These are informed projections, not factory gospel, but if they land close, Porsche’s baby roadster could become the benchmark for electric driver’s cars.
