Berlin: Porsche, a German manufacturer of supercars, is getting ready to unveil the brand-new Boxster EV soon. In the most recent development, a test mule for the upcoming sports car was seen driving around the famed Nurburgring race track in camouflage. It will be the first product from the company to use the PPE modular platform, created especially for EVs by Volkswagen Group.
Although electrification has been seen as the future of the automotive industry, the announcement that a well-known Porsche model would switch to electric drive has shocked many in the industry. Despite not being a flagship model, the 718 Boxster is still regarded as the gold standard for sports cars. What to anticipate from the upcoming all-electric roadster model is listed below.
The upcoming Porsche Boxster EV should probably keep the same general styling as the ICE-powered model in terms of appearance. Designer alloy wheels, a sculpted hood, sweptback LED headlights with integrated DRLs, a raked windscreen, wide air dams, flared wheel arches, ORVMs mounted on the doors, two large doors with frameless windows, a retractable soft-top roof, and door-mounted ORVMs are some of the exterior features. The rear will be adorned with LED taillamps that wrap around.
The Porsche Boxster EV's interior will include a sporty yet opulent two-seater cabin with a few feel-good features. The sports car will come equipped with a premium interior, racing-style bucket seats, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and paddle shifters to regulate the regenerative braking levels. It will also have a minimalist dashboard design.The car will have ADAS features for the security of the passengers.
