Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster Reportedly Die in 2025

• Porsche's production manager says the 718 lineup will come to an end in 2025.
• The Cayman and Boxster will be replaced by electrified equivalents.
• The gas-powered Macan's death won't be far behind.

The Porsche exec didn’t comment on the upcoming electric model, however, and it’s still not clear when exactly the 718’s successor will debut. It’s tough to imagine Porsche will leave a gap in its lineup for very long.

On another note, the two 718s are not the only P cars losing their combustion motivation. Reimold told Automobilwoche that the current Macan isn’t long for the world and that in 2026 Porsche will be “fully committed” to the all-electric Macan. Porsche already discontinued gas-Macan production in Europe, and its decline has been accelerated by parts shortages. Moreover, Porsche says it’s tough to justify the gas Macan continuing its existence despite high sales. That, according to the production manager, is because "volume alone is not a benchmark for us as a luxury manufacturer."

Edmunds says

Porsche is set to trim a good portion of its gas-powered lineup in favor of electrified options over the next few years. Whenever or however that happens, it’s a bold move from a brand whose identity is so rooted in its gas-powered sports cars. We’re curious to see how the move plays out over the coming decades for Porsche.
