Porsche Boxster E specifications announced

0 comments


Following its debut earlier this year, Porsche has released specifications about the Boxster E prototypes.

One model features two electric motors that give the car an all-wheel drive system and a combined output of 180 kW (241 hp / 245 PS) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the 1,600 kg (3,528 lb) Boxster to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).

The other two prototypes are rear-wheel drive and have one electric motor that produces 90 kW (121 hp / 122 PS) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. As you'd expect, the performance is less than thrilling as it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.8 seconds and has a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).

All three prototypes are powered by a 29 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery which enables them to travel up to 170 kilometers (107 miles) on a single charge. When the battery is depleted, it can be fully recharged in approximately nine hours.

Lastly, all three prototypes are outfitted with ceramic composite regenerative brakes, an electric air conditioner, a revised instrument cluster and an active sound system that provides drivers with acoustic feedback.
