Cayman or Boxster EV for you?

[Dresz981]

Well, I think physics might agree with him. EVs tend to be quieter than ICE cars. In a gasser, the engine noise is most of what you hear. In an EV, it's wind and road noise. Assuming they both have the same tires, aerodynamics are going to make the biggest difference. The hard top will give much smoother air flow, thus less noise.

That could make sense. However, I don't know that anyone outside of Porsche know the design differences between the variants. Some people believe the roof materials accounted for the differences in cabin noise levels. If this holds true in the EV versions then it's still plausible. I specifically mentioned past Boxsters because that's what's available for comparison right now.

The vast majority of posters in this thread would disagree with you:

I drove both, and absolutely never have i found the boxter quieter.

Sure, you hear the engine less in a Boxster, but not because its quieter, its because the road and wind noise are coming through the soft roof much harsher. And that argument can be made only for base cars.

If you jump into a spyder rs and a gt4rs, the spyder will blow your ears off compared to the gt4, with how much of the engine noise makes it straight into your ear

The boxter roof is not magic, its just fabric. On an electric car it will absolutely allow for the road noise and wind noise to be even mote pronounced than in the gas cars
