Does the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster receive the announced electric motor?
No, the 2025 718 Boxster retains the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Porsche delayed the 718 electrification (via Project 718 Electric) to 2026 at minimum. For 2025, the base Boxster receives the 2.0L turbo producing 300 hp from the 2024 model, while the GTS variant features a 4.0L twin-turbo flat-six making 405 hp borrowed from the 911 Carrera. This six-cylinder delivers a sharper note thanks to the optional Akrapovic titanium exhaust system. The transmission remains the PDK seven-speed dual-clutch (manual transmission discontinued since 2020). The 2025 718 Boxster also offers a special Weissach Edition: carbon-fibre rear wing, 20-inch forged alloy wheels, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus active differential.
