A New Battery Layout
According to early reports, these models could use a T-shaped battery behind the driver instead of a flat battery under the floor. This would keep the car’s centre of gravity low and help preserve the classic sports car feel.
Built for Driving Fun
The EV versions are rumoured to be built on a new electric sports car platform. This platform is said to be designed to mimic the handling of traditional Porsche sports cars with balanced weight distribution and a low driving position for nimble and exciting performance.
Power and Performance
While official specs are not available, higher-performance versions are expected to feature a dual-motor setup. There is also speculation that some petrol or hybrid models might still be offered alongside the EVs, but this has not been confirmed by Porsche.
Updated Design
Spy shots suggest that the EV versions could look similar to the current 718 models with subtle updates inspired by the Taycan. Reported changes include new lights, a slightly sharper bonnet, and modern touches while keeping the classic Porsche look.
