How the Porsche 718 EV Will Deliver a Sports Car Feel With Race-Inspired Tech

Porsche Mission R concept

There’s no shortage of electric cars that go fast in a straight line. But when Porsche says it’s building an electric Boxster and Cayman that feel like real sports cars, ears perk up and so do expectations. With its legacy on the line, Porsche isn’t chasing gimmicks or numbers. Instead, the 718 EVs will borrow heavily from the brand’s racing efforts, particularly its championship-winning Formula E team, to ensure they drive, handle, and brake like proper Porsches.

Set to debut as the next generation of the brand’s entry-level two-seaters by 2027, the electric 718s will debut a fresh platform, reimagine battery placement, and rethink regenerative braking to make sure they’re as sharp as their gas-powered predecessors. Here’s how Porsche plans to pull it off.
