The Boxster E is an all-electric vehicle concept without any additional combustion engine on board. Propulsion is provided by two independent electric motors with constant mesh gearboxes that act on the front and rear axles.
Porsche was demonstrating its Boxster E prototypes to a wide audience of representatives from politics, industry, trade and research at this global forum for sustainable mobility in the German capital Belin last week.
Around a sporting circuit, the Porsche showcased the Boxster E sports car concept; exhibiting the combination of innovation, performance and chassis responsiveness that is characteristic of the marque, and follows similar ground-breaking initiatives; the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car, 918 Spyder super sports car and 918 RSR concept.
The Boxster E prototypes are being used as part of the "Model Region Electro-Mobility Stuttgart" large-scale trial to explore the everyday practicality of all-electric vehicles and how they are used, especially in terms of driving and battery charging.
What the researchers at Porsche are looking for is an understanding of the requirements that will shape tomorrow's products, the future direction of Porsche Intelligent Performance and how to integrate electric vehicles into the infrastructure.
