Porsche's been playing with all-electric prototypes of the Boxster and Cayman since 2011. In 2011 the Boxster E concept packed a 121-horsepower electric motor and a 106-mile range. In 2017 the Cayman E-volution concept upped that to a 120-mile range using a 38-kWh battery, and sprinted to 62 miles per hour faster than the current Cayman GTS. While working on the Cayman E-volution, development engineers realized current battery technology limits range to 300 kilometers (186 miles) without major changes to the PPE platform. This would put the 718 models onto the same dual platform strategy as the coming Macan. The current Macan will continue on the MLB platform with hybrid powertrains, while an all-electric Macan sitting on the PPE platform sells at the same time. The current 982-series Cayman and Boxster could step up to a 982.2 generation as PHEVs, for instance, while EV variants employ the PPE. The same hybrid systems being developed for the 992-series Porsche 911 will go to work in the 718, but on the smaller car's four-cylinder engines. Those Euro 7 standards are the other factor in this drivetrain jumble. Come 2025, better lithium-ion battery technology and solid state batteries are supposed to change the game entirely. In a perfect world, solid state batteries will deliver 50 percent more performance in the same packaging space. They will power the coming electric Porsche hypercar to succeed the 918 Spyder, and get the electric 718 twins the range they need to stand on their own.
Customised number plates are a trend in developed countries, but in India, you can only get per-decided fancy numbers on the registration plates. If the number is rare or unique, they are auctioned in India. In such an event, a Porsche 718 Boxster owner from Kerala placed a bid for India鈥檚 most expensive number plate. K.S. Balagopal, who is a resident of Kowdiar, Thiruvananthapuram placed the winning bid of Rs 30 lakh on a special registration number. He won the number 鈥楰L-01-CK-1鈥?for his spanking new Porsche 718 Boxster which is a few weeks old. The winner of the bidding process has paid a total of Rs. 31 lakh, which includes his winning bid and Rs 1 lakh reservation and application fees for the number. The price of the new registration number is higher than the price of a brand new Ford Endeavour or a Toyota Fortuner. The Porsche 718 Boxster is a mid-engine two-seater sports car that is priced at Rs.
1.2 crores. The convertible is finished in a beautiful Miami Blue shade. The bidding started just at Rs 500 and was spread over 7 steps in total. The highly popular number saw stiff bidding among the bidders and the price went up in the multiple of Rs 5 lakh in the open auction. Mr Balagopal called for the winning bid after he received aggressive bidding by a Dubai-based Non-Resident Keralite businessman, whose last bid was Rs. This is not the first fancy numberplate auction won by the pharmaceuticals-distributor. In 2017, Balagopal won the number 鈥楰L-01-CB-1鈥?at Rs 19 lakh for his Toyota Land Cruiser. The new Rs 30 lakh bid is the highest in India yet. However, the owner did not know about it till the RTO officials informed him about the same. Auctioning of fancy numberplate is a form of revenue for the Regional Transport Office (RTO) who allocate and distributes registration numbers. The Thiruvananthapuram earned Rs.
