flag Porsche delays electric 718 Boxster and Cayman, reviving gas-powered versions due to lower EV demand and new EU e-fuel rules.

flag Porsche is developing new internal combustion engine versions of the 718 Boxster and Cayman, reversing its earlier plan to electrify the models by 2030. flag Based on the PPE platform designed for EVs, the new cars will require major structural changes to accommodate fuel tanks, exhaust systems, and engines, with a modified 4.0-liter flat-six engine possibly used. flag The models are expected to arrive later this decade, after the delayed electric version, which is now slated for early 2027. flag The shift follows declining EV demand and updated EU rules allowing e-fuels beyond 2035. flag Porsche is also reconsidering combustion options for its upcoming K1 SUV and the Mission X hypercar, amid an $8.9 billion financial impact from the strategic pivot.
