Instead of the butthole exhaust we get the butthole charge port!
Butt-Head is clearly an EV fan. Well before his time.

No side intakes for the 718 EV confirmed.

Picture (upscalled by GPT) with the camfulage side cladding missing/removed/fallen from german traffic that i found online.
Just a sticker of a side intake.

The side skirts seem to be influenced by the GT concept car; quite pronaunced and aggresive. Sadly, at least for the base car, they seem to be basic matte plastic, like taycan. 🤮 Hopefully there will be an option for same color as the car.

And the mule's interior, also upscalled by GPT.

Interior seems to be the same as taycan + a 911/cayenne like center console. Maybe no passanger display, and then it is a whole lot more like a 911.

The return of glorious buttons. Looks like full analog vents, and everything is buttons, no touch for key controls.

It looks quite ready for a Winter/Sprint release.


Door panels seem to be identical to the taycan ones.

This one looks production ready. Those side air intakes are maybe for rear wheel air curtains.

When I look at this photo compared to the others posted I see this "production ready" comment of mine is incorrect. The photo is simply and a massaged version of the photo direct

When I look at this photo compared to the photo posted two spots above I see the "production ready" comment of mine is incorrect. The photo is simply a massaged version of the photo directly above it.

Whoever are hoping for Taycan J1.1 headlamps need to accept that is not gonna happen. The J1.1 headlamp area has poor aero. If you want this then accept more battery which means more weight and more $$$

That interior pic with the guy in the jeans has been around for a while. The center cluster looks like what I have in my Macan 4S…those are touch sensitive “appliqués” on a translucent panel with tactile feedback. So for all intents and purposes, buttons, along with an analog volume control.

"Ich schaue mir jedes Projekt zunächst ausschließlich aus Porsche-Sicht an: Ergibt es wirtschaftlich Sinn oder nicht? Erst danach spielen mögliche Synergien im Konzern eine Rolle. Beim elektrischen 718 sind wir zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass wir das Modell bauen werden – weil es wirtschaftlich die beste Lösung ist und ein phantastisches Auto werden wird."

Here is to well informed sources at US dealerships who ... knew nothing at all, as usual i am tempted to add.
