Amidst this buzz, various speculations about the future of the Porsche 718 series are circulating. <strong>Is the gasoline engine version truly being discontinued? Or is there a chance it will be sold alongside the upcoming EV model?<\/strong> Based on the latest overseas media reports and statements from Porsche insiders, we\u2019ve compiled the facts known so far.<\/p>\n<p>To get straight to the point, current information strongly suggests that <strong>the gasoline-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman will cease production in October 2025<\/strong>. This has been confirmed by multiple reliable sources. Meanwhile, the exact launch date for the next-generation EV version remains uncertain, with reports of development delays. <strong>There is no official announcement about simultaneous sales,<\/strong> but a full transition to electric is implied.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"October_2025_Confirmed_as_End_of_Gasoline_718_Production\"><\/span>October 2025 Confirmed as End of Gasoline 718 Production<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/GevkKyAbsAcU_ZU.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche Cayman T\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On May 22, 2025, Car and Driver and Motor1 published significant reports.<\/p>\n<p>Albrecht Reimold, Porsche\u2019s head of production, explicitly stated in an interview with the German automotive magazine Automobilwoche that <strong>gasoline-powered 718 production will end in October 2025<\/strong>. This was also confirmed by Frank Wiesmann, Porsche North America\u2019s PR representative.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s notable is that this decision is not mere rumor or speculation but an official stance verified through multiple channels. CarBuzz echoed similar news on May 23, and the Porsche Club of America had already predicted a \u201cfall 2025 production end\u201d as of September 2024. The consistency across these sources underscores the certainty of the decision.<\/p>\n<p>However, the situation varies by region. In Europe, sales of the gasoline 718 have already stopped as of July 2024 due to new cybersecurity regulations. In contrast, sales and production will continue in North America, Japan, and other markets until October 2025. In other words, <strong>Porsche fans in Japan will be saying goodbye to the gasoline 718 in just a few months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uncertainty_Surrounding_the_Next-Gen_EV_718s_Development_and_Launch\"><\/span>Uncertainty Surrounding the Next-Gen EV 718\u2019s Development and Launch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The next 718 is confirmed to be an EV, as Porsche CEO Oliver Blume stated during a 2023 media roundtable. Initially planned for a 2025 launch, recent updates suggest delays.<\/p>\n<p>According to Motor1\u2019s December 18, 2024 report, <strong>battery-related challenges are causing potential delays in the EV 718\u2019s release<\/strong>. Blume himself used the vague term \u201cmid-term\u201d regarding the launch timeline at Porsche\u2019s 2025 annual meeting, avoiding specific dates. This cautious approach hints at the development difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Predictions from overseas media differ: <strong>Car and Driver expects a 2027 model debut<\/strong>, while <strong>Motor Authority anticipates a 2026 market introduction<\/strong>. Either way, a gap between the end of gasoline 718 production and the EV launch seems likely.<\/p>\n<p>The delay may not be purely technical; Porsche could be carefully gauging market reactions. The 718 series is Porsche\u2019s second most important sports car lineup after the 911, making its electrification a critical brand milestone.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low_Chances_of_Simultaneous_Sales_The_Path_to_Full_Electrification\"><\/span>Low Chances of Simultaneous Sales: The Path to Full Electrification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0560-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"718 Cayman T at Fuji Speedway\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many Porsche enthusiasts wonder if the gasoline and EV versions will be sold side-by-side. However, based on currently available information, <strong>this possibility appears slim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Motor Authority reported on July 12, 2023, that the next-generation 718 will be \u201celectric-only,\u201d indicating no plans for concurrent gasoline models. Multiple media outlets describe the EV version as arriving after the gasoline model\u2019s production ends, with no mention of overlap.<\/p>\n<p>French publication Auto-Moto speculated in December 2024 about a possible \u201cbrief\u201d parallel sale, but this remains unconfirmed and purely speculative. Considering production efficiency and development focus, a full transition seems more practical.<\/p>\n<p>While Porsche continues to offer hybrid versions alongside pure gasoline 911 models, the 718 series seems to be following a different strategy. This may reflect the 718\u2019s role as a key testbed for Porsche\u2019s EV ambitions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Porsche_Fans_Should_Consider_Now\"><\/span>What Porsche Fans Should Consider Now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31686 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_7172-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"718 Cayman Instrument Cluster\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Summarizing the current situation: the window to buy a new gasoline 718 is closing fast, with production ending in just a few months. Orders must be placed soon, and actual delivery times will further shorten the decision period.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, anticipation for the next EV 718 is growing. Porsche\u2019s electric expertise, proven by the Taycan, combined with the lightweight, compact 718 chassis, promises <strong>a new kind of driving enjoyment<\/strong>, in my personal view.<\/p>\n<p>The used car market will also be affected. With gasoline 718 production ending, how resale values evolve is worth watching. As the last internal combustion 718, <strong>these models could become rare collectibles in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The 718\u2019s electrification is more than a model update; it\u2019s a landmark moment showing how Porsche adapts to a new era. In that sense, this decision is as historic as the introduction of water cooling or turbocharging.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the gasoline 718 will definitely be discontinued, and simultaneous sales with an EV version are highly unlikely. This is the reality we know today. As Porsche enthusiasts, it\u2019s time to reflect on how we embrace and respond to this change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lately, there have been frequent reports about securing production slots for the 718 and new deliveries being made.
