Porsche To Retire 718 Boxster And Cayman, Production Ends In October

Porsche has now announced the retirement of its petrol-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman. The 718 duo was facing troubles for the past year, but it is now that we know that the 718 Boxster and the Cayman will be off the production line in October. Previously, Porsche had delisted the 718 Boxster and the Cayman from the Indian website and stopped taking bookings for the duo.

As per Motor1, Frank Wiesmann, Product Communications, Porsche Cars North America, stated that the Porsche 718 Boxster and the Cayman are in the final stages of production, after which it will come to a full stop in October. Porsche 718 Boxster and the Cayman were earlier pushed off the European market due to some cybersecurity concerns, back in 2024. However, the Boxster RS Spyder and Cayman GT4 RS continue in the European market as they were limited edition sports cars, and were exempted from the regulations.

Porsche is not in a hurry to fill the gap after the discontinuation of the 718 duo, as the planning of its electrified iteration is still underway and will be revealed about a year later. The electrified iteration of the Boxter and Cayman is expected to be built on the same production line as the ICE models at Porsche's Zuffenhausen plant.

Also, Porsche has previously said that it will be phasing out the Macan in 2026. Though it may feel like a piece of sad news for the petrol heads, there is still hope, as, according to reports, Porsche's former Chief Financial Officer, Lutz Meschke, mentioned the possibility of the originally planned all-electric vehicles getting a hybrid drive or a combustion engine.
