Porsche already has the hottest hybrid on the planet with its Porsche 918 Spyder, but what about a little something that forgoes gasoline altogether? Now, it has that, too. The iconic German automaker has just unveiled the first of the trio of the Boxster E's. The prototype uses 240 electron-powered ponies from motors attached to front and rear axles to give it all-wheel-drive sure-footedness and the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds. It has a 29-kWh battery pack, which should give a solid 100 miles per charge. Porsche will trial the triplets over the coming months. No plans for a retail version have been mentioned, though it remains an eventual possibility considering CEO Matthias Müller's statement at the Porsche museum ceremony that electric mobility is the company's “central challenge.”
