Search the forum archives but there were definitely some electric (possibly hybrid) boxster prototypes running around a couple years ago in Stuttgart. I remember seeing some car spy photo articles going around speculating on what Porsche was up to. I believe this was back when the 918 was still an autoshow concept (possibly prior to that).
Honestly a turbo charged electric hybrid drive could be pretty spectacular. Electric motor for low-end off the line torque and the turbo charged four for for the higher end. I'm sure it would take some finesse to tune the timing of the turbo with the electric motor, but I'm sure Porsche is long past that point with the 918 being made now.
