At least Porsche is intending on making the EV Boxster "mid-engined" with the battery placement.

Will this be another heavy sedan...yes. This article is nothing more than to announce they are working on a sophisticated 4 motor awd system. System like on the Rimac Nevera, control each wheel independently. Having 4 separate sources of power to control via computers, is a huge advantage over traditional awd. Not new tech, but BMW M should develop something special with the system. Rivian quad motor is getting great reviews.
