Dresz981 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.Probably because it's not as simple as "just physics". If it was, someone would have already posted some actual test results to prove me... -
Porschephile13 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.I tried the "it's just physics" route, too. Didn't seem to have much traction...

Dresz981 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.I don't think anyone is comparing the cabin noise levels of ICE vs. EV. That would be silly. And you seem to be comparing apples to...

Dresz981 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.That could make sense. However, I don't know that anyone outside of Porsche know the design differences between the variants. Some...

Porschephile13 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.Well, I think physics might agree with him. EVs tend to be quieter than ICE cars. In a gasser, the engine noise is most of what you...

Dresz981 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.I've only owned Boxsters but I've read that the Boxster was quieter than the Cayman inside. That's with the top up... of course.

AI renderings of the Cayman EV (hard roof) based on the leaks so far and the uncovered 718 (soft roof): -
Any guesses, taking into account the peeps who want this car, probably new to Porsche, new tech and R and D costs. Cayman base EV - $89k... -
Boxter, I want at least one of my cars to have no roof. Hopefully it won't be unacceptably wide - which is the worst part of my Taycan... -
Just a quick poll, are you thinking of the Boxster or Cayman EV. I enjoy the open top, but if there's no noise I'm not sure I'd get the...

I think a test drive back to back with both is needed :clap:

babylou66 replied to the thread Cayman or Boxster EV for you?.I'm am a roadster, EV and silent car devotee but now you're making me wonder if all three somehow don't mix well 🤔.

Porschephile13 replied to the thread 718 EV Boxster now 99% uncovered / uncamouflaged (as of Sept 10).I kinda thought the same thing, but I was hoping Porsche might have a workaround. I think Volvo is doing it for the EX60. Hope dies...

I’ve taken/will continue to take my Taycan to the track. A 718 EV will be even more fun. I don’t know how much more reliable my car...

Porschephile13 replied to the thread Tesla Roadster.I think battery capacity is how Audi does it, too. Battery capacity divided by efficiency. As the efficiency changes, so does range.
