Last month we got our first look inside the all-new, all-electric Porsche Boxster, which is expected to be revealed late next year and arrive in dealerships in the first half of 2025. But while that scoop gave us a good idea of what the driver would be faced with when he climbed inside the electric convertible, it’s only now that we’ve finally been able to spy the face of the car itself.
Thanks to a new bank of spy shots showing the Boxster with its production lights for the first time, we’re a little but closer to figuring out how the finished sports car might look. The images show the Boxster with Porsche’s latest style of quad-LED DRLs at the front, which could mean it’s fitted with the company’s new matrix LED lamp units. Revealed late last year, the tech can project a beam of light up to 600 m (1,970 ft), and that’s sure to be handy on late-night country road blasts when you don’t want to end up with a deer through your windshield.
This prototype also looks to be fitted with production tail lights, which take the form of narrow LED strips that wrap around each rear quarter panel. But given that Porsche just unveiled the GT3 R Rennsport with a full-width wraparound LED light bar, and already fits one to the 718 Cayman GT4 E-Performance electric racer, we suspect the Boxster will feature something very similar but is hiding the central portion with disguise on this prototype.

Other disguise elements include the fake center-exhaust tailpipe and cladding on the bumper and body sides that prevent us from seeing the final details of the bodywork. We can’t, for instance, see whether Porsche has dispensed with the Boxster’s traditional side vents since it won’t need them for the EV powertrain.
Porsche is expected to offer the new Boxster – and its hardtop Cayman brother – with a choice of battery sizes and power outputs. Base cars will have a single motor at the rear driving the rear wheels, but the more expensive, more powerful dual-motor variants will give the Boxster and Cayman all-wheel drive for the first time.
