Some dealerships started putting mockup pages for the 718ev

So an announcement for it might be coming soon?

Interesting, 250 miles and available PAR.
My PB Taycan gets between 200 and ~290 miles, so this may not be able to replace it for the 190 mile commute.

I wouldn't take any of the specs seriously, it is just a mockup page.

It is not supposed to be visible at all, some dealerships just fucked up.

The fact that these mock up pages are being created is the news.

 

[irrelevant]

There's an awful lot of "information" on the Porsche Minneapolis site. Claims "arriving late 2026" as a 2027 model.

I see the other linked site has been taken down already. I've copied the info from the MSP Porsche site, for future comparison against reality, or to archive it if it disappears.

As suspected, the MSP Porsche site has removed what was there, so here's what was, for future reference:

The 2027 Porsche 718 EV differentiates itself from both the BMW i4 M50 and Audi e-tron GT by being purpose-built as an electric sports car rather than adapting a sedan-based platform. Its lightweight construction, low center of gravity, and precision-focused chassis are engineered specifically for enthusiastic driving. The available Porsche Active Suspension Management system, Porsche Active Ride technology, and rear-wheel-drive architecture provide a more engaging sports car experience than many larger EV competitors. Combined with Porsche's motorsports expertise and advanced 800-volt charging architecture, the 718 EV is positioned to become one of the most rewarding electric performance vehicles available.

Performance Features and Capabilities​

The 2027 Porsche 718 EV has been developed to deliver the thrilling performance drivers expect from Porsche while embracing the benefits of electrification. The entry-level model is expected to feature a rear-mounted electric motor that preserves classic Porsche sports car balance and driving dynamics. Drivers seeking maximum performance can step up to the GTS model, which utilizes a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup for enhanced grip, acceleration, and cornering capability. Instant torque delivery allows the 718 EV to launch with authority, helping upper trims achieve an estimated 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds.
Porsche’s advanced 800-volt electrical architecture serves as the foundation for the 718 EV’s performance capabilities. This high-voltage system supports rapid charging speeds while also improving efficiency and thermal management during spirited driving. Adaptive suspension technology continuously adjusts damping characteristics to maintain exceptional ride quality and precise handling. Multiple drive modes allow drivers to customize throttle response, steering feel, and chassis settings based on driving conditions. Whether tackling a mountain road or navigating daily traffic, the 718 EV is engineered to provide the connected driving experience Porsche enthusiasts demand.

Interior and Exterior Design​

The 2027 Porsche 718 EV features a modern interpretation of Porsche’s iconic sports car design language. Its low-slung profile, wide stance, and sculpted bodywork maintain the unmistakable proportions that have made the 718 family a favorite among driving enthusiasts. Taycan-inspired Matrix LED headlights, flush door handles, active aerodynamic components, and lightweight aerodynamic wheels contribute to both performance and visual appeal. The exterior design balances efficiency and aggression while remaining instantly recognizable as a Porsche sports car.
Inside, the cabin combines luxury craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Premium materials such as leather, Alcantara®, brushed aluminum, and available carbon fiber trim create an upscale environment that reflects Porsche's attention to detail. Sport seats provide exceptional support during spirited driving while remaining comfortable for everyday use. The driver-centric layout places critical controls within easy reach and emphasizes engagement behind the wheel. A minimalist dashboard design, customizable digital displays, and premium finishes help create a modern and sophisticated atmosphere that complements the vehicle's advanced electric platform.

Entertainment and Safety Technology​

The 2027 Porsche 718 EV introduces Porsche’s latest generation of infotainment and connectivity technologies. A fully digital cockpit provides customizable vehicle information, navigation, and performance data directly in the driver’s line of sight. Apple CarPlay® integration, wireless smartphone connectivity, voice controls, and over-the-air software updates help ensure the system remains current and intuitive. An available augmented reality head-up display projects key information directly onto the windshield, reducing distractions while enhancing driver awareness. Premium BOSE® and available Burmester® audio systems provide exceptional sound quality throughout the cabin.
Safety and driver assistance technologies are equally advanced. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Autonomous Emergency Braking help support confidence during daily driving. Available Lane Change Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition provide additional awareness on highways and urban roads. Porsche also benefits from the inherent safety advantages of its EV architecture, including a low center of gravity and strategically engineered crash structures. Together, these systems help deliver a safer and more connected driving experience without compromising performance.

Oh, it's going to be a rather slow car. Interesting.

 

[Mr.Smith]

Oh, it's going to be a rather slow car. Interesting.

Slow but should be a blast to drive, especially with Active suspension.

They are giving it a different character compared to Taycan

 

[irrelevant]

Oh, it's going to be a rather slow car. Interesting.

Maybe. The previous GT 4 RS also does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

 

[DerekS]

Oh, it's going to be a rather slow car. Interesting.

Under 4s vs Taycan GTS of just over 3s.
Not a huge delta.

 

[whitex]

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.

It sounds like you're more of a Lambo customer than Porsche.

 

[mkg3]

I was told. by one of friends who knows Porsches that is page is couple of years old and that it is not accurate

 

[whitex]

Should be great for you guys in USA, with the tesla chargers, since they have such short cables. Much better than on the side.

Drive's side far rear works for Tesla or passenger's side far forward is the only thing that works for the original Tesla supercharger cables without having to straddle parking spots. New superchargers have cables long enough to charge a Rivian R1T or F150 Lightening while in the parking spot, so no problems with cable length.

 

[whitex]

Personally I like the AI Cayman EV styling from Auto Car. It's my favorite semi-possible aesthetic as it has all the confirmed elements of the front grille, side skirts and headlights.

Now here is an idea for Porsche build feature - Skin To Rendering option! You provide your AI rendering, they reskin the car to your liking - essentially creating a kit car bolted onto the original chassis, paint whatever color, heck, spring few hundred grand and they'll make all the panels from carbon fiber, shaving off weight too. Of course you'd also be informed that any spare custom parts will take 6-12 months to make, and cost a fortune, but you will have a very unique car to drive, and/or to show off.
