Porsche 718 Cayman And Boxster To Get Mild Hybrid, PHEV Versions
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.
