2026 Electric Porsche Cayman Test Mule Spied: First Look at 400hp+ Sports Car
The Porsche Cayman is going electric for 2026, marking a significant shift for the iconic sports car. This all-new EV version has been spotted testing, revealing several key design changes while maintaining the classic Cayman silhouette.
Design elements include rectangular headlights similar to the Taycan and Macan Electric, along with new large air intakes in the lower bumper. The profile appears more 911-like than before, and the rear features a full-width light bar.

While technical specifications remain under wraps, the electric Cayman is expected to share its platform with the upcoming Boxster EV. It may incorporate technology from the Mission R Concept, potentially using a front-mounted 435hp motor – a significant upgrade from the current model's 300hp.

To address the additional weight of the electric powertrain, Porsche might employ an innovative "chest" style battery pack mounted in the middle of the car, rather than in the floor. This configuration would help maintain the mid-engine-like weight distribution crucial to the Cayman's handling characteristics.

The electric Cayman is scheduled to launch in 2026, with an expected price increase over the current model's £54,000 starting point. A full reveal is anticipated before the end of this year. The car will compete directly with the upcoming electric Alpine A110, joining the growing segment of premium electric sports cars.
