Overview

• Porsche confirmed global order books are shut for the 718 twins, leaving buyers to whatever dealer inventory remains.
• Production of the current combustion 718 Cayman and Boxster will end in 2026, concluding the run of the fourth generation launched in 2016.
• The Cayman and Boxster names will return as all‑electric sports cars on Volkswagen Group’s PPE platform, with launches expected in 2026.
• High‑ranking company sources deny plans for another combustion 718 generation to sell alongside the electric versions.
• European sales stopped in early 2024 over cybersecurity compliance issues, and Porsche has since said it will end in‑house battery cell production in favor of R&D as part of a broader multi‑energy strategy.
