The "wave" of electrification hits, no car company can be alone, more or less have launched their own electric vehicles, such as Rolls-Royce launched the Shining, Lotus launched the eletre, Lamborghini also wants to build an electric version of the urus, Porsche launched the Taycan, etc., the reason why major car companies want to launch electric vehicles, because this is the development trend, the sooner it is launched, the sooner it is launched, the sooner it is lost, and the late may miss the development opportunity. In this environment, Porsche's hypothetical picture of its second electric car after Taycan is also **, this car is the Porsche 718 pure electric version. Next, let's take a look at this new car with me.
The 718 pure electric version is a 2-seater convertible, the new car will be officially unveiled in the second quarter of 2024, as a very large number of Porsche's models, 718 is still very in line with the aesthetic needs of young people, and ** lower than 918, those who like Porsche and 918** "Lingering palpitations" of young people, may be 718 potential consumer groups. What impact will the electrification of the 718 have on Porsche's sales?
According to the hypothetical drawings of the new car, in terms of styling, the body silhouette of the 718 is still retained, but the front face design is closer to the Taycan, the flat "frog face" has become a classic Porsche design element, and the front grille is embellished with blackened trim strips to enhance the sportiness of the front face.
Viewed from the rear 45°, the door handle has a semi-hidden design, and it is located right on the waistline, which has a strong sense of design. The rims are five-spoke and the tires are larger and flat, with a greater focus on road performance. At the rear of the car, the taillights are not the popular through-type design, but are distributed left and right, and the lamp cavities are arranged up and down, which is not very recognizable. The rear bumper is designed with a huge diffuser shape that enhances the sporty stance of the rear end. It can also be seen that the car has only two seats, and space is not its "selling point".
The interior part, the overall layout is very similar to the Taycan, but the Taycan adopts a "quadruple screen" design, and the front of the co-driver of the center console of this car is blocked, but I guess it is a "triple screen" design, it does not have Taycan's air conditioning control screen, in terms of technology, it is also okay. In addition, Porsche's classic triple gauge was discarded with a piece of 16The 8-inch LCD instrument cluster has been replaced, and for electric vehicles, the speed is not so important, and the LCD instrument panel shows richer content and is more in line with the trend of the times.
On the front platform, you can see a short shift lever and some mechanical buttons and touch buttons, the more important functions are mainly controlled by mechanical buttons, and functions such as seat heating are controlled by touch buttons. The air conditioning control mechanism is a row of piano buttons, and it has a very metallic texture. The car is also equipped with a mobile phone charging interface and a mobile phone wireless charging panel.
The battery level indicator can be seen on the far left side of the LCD instrument cluster, indicating that the car is an electric car. The car is built on the PPE electric drive platform, which is a high-end pure electric platform jointly developed by Porsche and Audi, which supports 800V high-voltage fast charging, which can increase the range by 250 kilometers after charging for 10 minutes, and can be equipped with a 100kWh battery pack, with a range of more than 600 kilometers in WLTP mode.
The power part, the car provides rear-wheel drive models and four-wheel drive models, among them, the maximum power of the four-wheel drive model is 450kw, the peak torque is more than 1000 Nm, and the acceleration ability is very good. Finally, what do you think of the Porsche 718 EV?
