The gas-powered Porsche Cayman and Porsche Boxster.
For some time now, we’ve all known that it was going to come to an end. Their successors have been waiting—though hardly hiding—in the wings. More recently, murmurs that production would end sometime in 2025 started making the rounds.
We’ve now been given the official word from Porsche that the very last Cayman and Boxster units will roll off the assembly line in October of this year. This will be everyone’s final crack at procuring a piece of history, as the duo will cease to exist in its conventional internal combustion state in no less than a few months from now.
Though Porsche have gone on the record to back-track on some of their initial and lofty EV goals—such as electric-powered platforms comprising of 80% of vehicle sales by 2030—the Cayman and Boxster EVs have consistently remained a focus, and an inevitability, with regards to their broader future vision of automobile production.
Beyond that, this news finally signals to the next-in-line-fully-electric heirs that it’s now their turn to take center stage. At the present time, the specifics on when they will be ready to do so, remain unclear. So, yes, you weren’t dreaming. It’s really happening.
