Porsche Pushes SSP Into 2030s, Revives Hybrids and Petrol Options in Strategy Reset

Weak EV demand coupled with development setbacks is pushing Porsche to phase launches on existing platforms.

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

  • Porsche has deferred Volkswagen Group’s SSP electric platform for its models to well into the 2030s, according to new reporting.
  • The next 718 Boxster and Cayman, expected from 2027–2028 on a shortened PPE base, are now confirmed to add combustion-engine top versions alongside electric variants.
  • The large K1 SUV project shifts into the next decade and, per reports, will be offered as petrol, plug‑in hybrid and electric, with combustion-led introductions planned.
  • Porsche retains EVs such as Taycan and Macan Electric and still targets an electric Cayenne in 2025, while Cayenne and Panamera continue with ICE and plug‑in hybrid drivetrains.
  • Near-term products will lean on existing J1 and expanded PPE architectures, with reports also citing internal delays and potential implications for Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini that had eyed SSP derivatives.
