Ingolstadt plates hint at Audi's version of the Boxster EV.
Porsche has reconfirmed the electric 718 Boxster/Cayman is still happening.
Audi's production version of the Concept C launches in 2027.
Porsche has been testing its electric Boxster since at least November 2022, when car paparazzi first spotted an open-top 718 without a combustion engine. Nearly four years later, a production version is still nowhere to be found in showrooms. Nevertheless, the two-door electric sports car from Zuffenhausen is still coming to market, eventually… In the meantime, its alter ego bearing the Four Rings may have been spotted at the Nürburgring.
Although it looks like a fairly typical Boxster EV prototype, one small detail may betray the vehicle’s true identity: the license plate. The performance electric test car has been registered in Ingolstadt (IN), where Audi calls home. We may be looking at an early near-production version of the Concept C, but it won’t share the same roof setup as its Porsche sibling. Motor1 has learned the road-going electric sports car from Audi will be sold exclusively with a retractable targa top, a first for the brand.
