During the Annual Press Conference, Porsche’s CEO Oliver Blume revealed that the Cayenne and Panamera models will keep combustion engines “well beyond the 2030s”.
Porsche confirmed that the model will keep its V8 combustion engine after 2030, just like the Panamera, which will retain the V6 in its entry-level versions. This information was announced during the Annual Press Conference.
According to the company’s CEO, Oliver Blume, Porsche’s goal of having electric cars represent 80% of its sales by the end of the 2020s was “unrealistic.”
Only 12.7% of the cars delivered by Porsche were fully electric. The fourth generation of the Cayenne, which will be exclusively electric, will debut at the end of 2025.
The next electric models from the German automaker will be the 718 Boxster and Cayman.
The company has repeatedly stated in the past that the 911 sports car would be the last model from the brand to have combustion engines. In order to keep this model alive, the automaker has started developing its own carbon-neutral synthetic fuel.
