Overview
- Porsche confirms new top versions of the 718 Boxster and Cayman will continue with combustion power, with reports indicating the 911 T‑Hybrid flat‑six is under consideration for those models.
- EU GSR2 rules complicate rehomologation of four‑cylinder 718s, making a full technical update likely because a 1,500‑unit small‑series exemption would not cover expected volumes.
- The planned K1 flagship will now launch with combustion and plug‑in hybrid options rather than as an EV, with no launch date disclosed.
- Company guidance points to a net profit margin of about 2% this year, with management targeting a return to above 10% in the medium term as the revised lineup rolls out.
- Analysts note greater component commonality with the 911 could simplify production for high‑end 718s, while reports suggest four‑cylinder engines may be dropped and ICE limited to pricier trims.
