The Boxster E is a completely electric vehicle concept without additional combustion engine on board. It is driven by two independent electric motors with a constant mesh gearbox, which comes to the front and rear axles.

Porsche Boxster has demonstrated its e-prototypes for a broad audience of representatives from government, industry, trade and research in this global forum for sustainable mobility in the German capital last week Belin. About a sports tournament was the Porsche Boxster of E Sports Car Concept demonstrates the combination of innovation, performance and suspension response feature of the mark, and follows similar groundbreaking, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid Race Car 918 Spyder and 918 RSR supercar concept.

The Boxster E prototypes as part of the “Electro-Mobility Model Region Stuttgart” large-scale test of the practicality of electric vehicles and complete as they are used to test used, especially in terms of driving and charging the battery. What the researchers at Porsche, an understanding of the requirements that shape the products of tomorrow, the future direction of Porsche is intelligent performance and how to integrate electric vehicles in the infrastructure of hotels.

Of course that all important security and comfort features reflected in the Boxster model series of the E. The new braking system is an optimal fusion of the braking forces of the generators and the mechanical brake system with lightweight Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) permits supplied. The electrically driven compressor in the front luggage compartment housed a comfortable temperature inside the car offers.

Not only is the clutch lever and lacking in the Boxster e gear, no U-No. Instead, a special “E-Power Meter” in the central instrument panel. A swing to the right shows the power-off call, and left, the power of recovery. Recovery – namely, the recovery of energy from the electric motors and generators – with the buttons on the steering wheel can be adjusted, the effect is like a brake on demand. Otherwise, if the driver releases the accelerator, just sailing in the Boxster-E, with the moving vehicle kinetic energy lifts. Among other functions, the instrument cluster is on the right TFT display area as an intelligent management system, display of driving information useful: remaining range or how many miles by switching off the air conditioner can be obtained.

The Porsche Boxster is the ideal vehicle platform to perform realistic tests with electric drive systems. The open two-seater is very light, so that the new components of the electric motor, battery voltage and high-technology into the vehicle in a crash-proof way found. Together with the low resistance, rolling resistance is reduced for optimum range. Also important for a Porsche sports car, even one that is electrically powered, high dynamic performance potential, not least because of the balanced axle load distribution-inherent to the mid-engine design.
