Porsche Delays SSP to 2030s and Brings Back Combustion Options for 718 and K1

Porsche attributes the recalibration to slower EV sales alongside development setbacks.

Porsche und Bentley rudern beim Elektroauto mächtig zurück
Eine Reichweite ist zwar noch nicht bekannt, doch scheinen 600 km wie beim Porsche Macan Electric realistisch.
Serienmäßig sollen der elektrifizierte Cayman und Boxster die Hinterräder antreiben, Allrad könnte die Topversion bieten und leistungstechnisch auf 911er-Niveau mitspielen. 
Boxster-typisch zeigt sich die Profilandsicht des offenen Elektrosportwagens.

Overview

  • Volkswagen Group’s SSP platform rollout for Porsche is pushed well into the 2030s, removing the near‑term shift to the next-generation EV architecture.
  • Porsche confirms the next 718 Boxster (2027) and Cayman (2028) will launch as electric models with top combustion variants rather than going fully electric.
  • The large K1 SUV, previously slated as an all-electric model around 2027, is deferred to the next decade and now set to start with petrol and plug-in hybrid versions.
  • Porsche retains key battery-electric models such as the Taycan and Macan Electric and targets an electric Cayenne for 2025, leaning on J1 and an expanded PPE rather than SSP.
  • Reporting ties the shift to weak EV demand and internal development delays, with potential repercussions flagged for Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini.
