718/983 Cayman & Boxster Leaks & confirmed features

• No side intakes for the 718 EV confirmed.
• Real/Normal door handles

Picture (upscalled by GPT) with the camfulage side cladding missing/removed/fallen from german traffic that i found online.
Just a sticker of a side intake.

The side skirts seem to be influenced by the GT concept car; quite pronaunced and aggresive. Sadly, at least for the base car, they seem to be basic matte plastic, like taycan. Hopefully there will be an option for same color as the car.

And the mule's interior, also upscalled by GPT.

Interior seems to be the same as taycan + a 911/cayenne like center console. Maybe no passanger display, and then it is a whole lot more like a 911.

The return of glorious buttons. Looks like full analog vents, and everything is buttons, no touch for important controls.

• Door panels seem to be identical to the taycan ones.
• Charging port confirmed on the back

Headlight shape like j1.2 + J1.1 indent, as opposed to the flat deisgn of the j1.2
Air intakes with shark fins like the new 911 with hybrid turbos.

What's with the exhaust pipe? Fake?

 

[refazi]

Yep, they used to do that with the Taycan and Macan EV when testing

My dealer thinks it will be fall 2027....I just bought a 992.2S and will have to struggle with the notion of trading the new 911 or my 2020 Taycan.

for me that would be easy peasy

ditch the Taycan

 

[KLHubb]

I will miss the 4 doors, but can get by.

 

[PorscheTaycan]

Or ditch the 911 and go full EV...

Thanks, mixed feelings here, not sure I like it, let's see the actual car

Yeah, I feel the same. I usually skew towards more pronounced visual designs, and it feels like others (Mercedes, Polestar, Audi, etc.) are taking chances on much wilder and unique body designs. For better or worse, they're much more eye catching than this. But I understand I'm not looking at a perfect, final design in these pictures. There just isn't room in what we see here for the car to have some secret wild physical design elements.

And maybe that's exactly what the target audience wants for this car. It's just not me.

Porsche is not the brand for wild design.

911 has looked the same for like 20 years.
Cayman has looked the same for like 20 years

They barely changed the shapes a bit on the Macan and Cayenne, and they got criticized for it

The 718 ev will look 90% the same as the old non ev one. Thats how porsche does it.

lol @chun and @Sar the new Mercedes GLC electric was nice to drive, but it's too ugly for me.
More or less the same for the iX3, not "ugly" outside, but not "sexy" either
