• The electrical Porsche Macan costs $80,450 and is on sale now
• An electrical 718 Boxster and Cayman substitute debuts this yr with production starting in 2025

Two years, That is how long the stay of execution will probably be before among the hottest gas-powered Porsches die.

On Monday, Porsche told Reuters it’s going to stop production of the gas-powered Macan crossover SUV in 2026. Production of the gas-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman will stop sometime in 2025.

Each models will probably be replaced by electric successors. Porsche executive board member Albrecht Reimold told Reuters the gas-powered models’ platforms have reached the tip of their cycles.

The electric Porsche Macan launched already and costs $80,450 in base Macan 4 spec. The more powerful Macan Turbo grade costs $106,950. Each figures include a $1,650 destination charge. Today’s gas-powered Macan in base form costs $63,895 including a $1,995 destination charge.

Sales of the gas-powered Macan have already ceased in Europe, however the best-seller within the U.S. will continue to exist for 2 model years because the automaker ramps production of the EV.

In 2023 Porsche was waffling on killing the gas-powered Macan noting a change in market trends for EVs, and the successful sales volume of the gas-powered model within the U.S.

The electric 718 Boxster and Cayman substitute has been shedding camo as is undergoes testing on public roads. The electrical sports automotive was previewed by the Porsche Mission R concept on the 2021 Munich auto show.

A debut of the electrical 718 Boxster and Cayman substitute is anticipated to happen later this yr with production commencing in 2025.

Like the electrical Macan, the electrical 718 is anticipated to ride on a dedicated EV platform. Likely the identical one which underpinned the Mission R, which houses the batteries in a T-shape section filling the middle tunnel and area behind the seats. This is identical battery layout as what’s present in the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore.
