Why A 718 Hybrid Is The Need Of The Hour For Porsche

With Porsche bracktracking its 2030 all-electric EV strategy and the Panamera and Cayenne retaining ICE power, does an ICE (hybrid) 718 make sense?

A rapid change in the EV scene means the Porsche 718 will continue to offer boxer engines

The Porsche 718 EV is still coming, but Porsche announced it will be integrating ICE and hybrid technology in its EVs

The market no longer favors EVs as hybrids jump in popularity

Production of the 982-generation will either be prolonged or Porsche will come up with an all-new platform

Like other EV models, the fully-electric 718 will adopt some aesthetics from the Taycan

Porsche 718 saw a 10-percent increase in sales, likely due to Porsche's original plans to replace it with an EV, in 2025

The 983-generation will continue to be offered as, bith, coupe and convertible, regardless of the powertrain type

We expect the T-Hybrid powertrain will be repurposed for use in the smaller 718

Given what they've done with the 992.2, we expect the next-gen 718 to also be available in GT4 guise
