2025 Porsche 718 An Electrifying Evolution of a Classic Sports Car
2025 Porsche 718 Fully Electric
The release of the 2025 Porsche 718, Porsche’s first fully electric sports vehicle, has the automotive industry buzzing with excitement. This revolutionary car represents a significant move in Porsche’s portfolio toward electrification, as it will eventually replace the gas-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster models.
Porsche has confirmed the end of production for the 718 GT4 and Spyder, while the 718 Cayman GT4 RS will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. It’s official: this is a part of the Model Year 2024 lineup, which is expected to stay around until about this time next year.
Porsche’s 718 EV will hit U.S. showrooms in 2025, with pricing beginning at less than $80,000. The all-electric sports car will ride on a brand-new platform optimized for low weight. Porsche plans to sell the 718 Boxster Electric with either a single motor driving the rear wheels or a pair of motors driving all four, depending on the driving conditions.
The current Porsche 718 models vary primarily in terms of body style. There is the coupe-like Porsche 718 Cayman and the convertible Porsche 718 Boxster. The all-electric 718 is said to come in two body styles—hardtop and convertible—to satisfy a broad spectrum of sports car fans’ tastes.
As of January 2023, the Porsche 718 Cayman has had 24 reviews and an exceptional Expert Rating of 86%. The forthcoming all-electric 718 is anticipated to continue this trend, providing drivers with a thrilling ride without sacrificing reliability.
Using an 800-volt design comparable to the Taycan, the 2025 Porsche 718 EV is expected to have a driving range of at least 250 miles. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, motorists can rapidly refuel their vehicles.
In 2023, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said at a media roundtable that the 718 Cayman and Boxster would be discontinued in favour of the all-electric sports vehicle. Drivers will have about two years following the EV’s release to switch to the new electric offering since both models will remain on sale.
Porsche’s dedication to electrification and sustainability takes a significant step further with the release of the 718 EV in 2025. As more details emerge, fans can’t wait for the debut of this revolutionary all-electric sports vehicle, which promises to bring the exhilarating performance and outstanding handling for which Porsche is famed.
