The modifications are concentrated on the assembly line where the current-generation ICE-powered 718 models are produced.

The revamped assembly line will transition into a 'flexiline.' It will employ an innovative and autonomously guided production line that will allow two distinct generations of vehicles to be constructed side by side.

This verifies that the upcoming all-electric 718 generation will retain a similar size, design, and approach as the existing petrol-powered models.

The fifth-generation 718 Cayman and Boxster will utilize a custom electric sports car platform intended to replicate the mid-engine nature of their current combustion vehicles.

This will provide a low seating position and center of gravity consistent with their dynamic reputation. This platform could potentially serve as the foundation for future Audi and Lamborghini models as well.

The forthcoming electric 718 pair will be available exclusively with electric drivetrains and is anticipated to hit international markets by late 2025.
