Apparently, dealer information has been leaked...
It has been said before that the 718 models (Cayman, Boxster) will become electric vehicles in the future, and the internal combustion engine 718 will be discontinued, but there has been no clear date given as to when production of the gasoline engine 718 will end.
Now, there are rumors that the ICE718 will be phased out (ended) in October 2025, so although this information is not confirmed, I would like to write about it.
Source: X onPosted by Zerin DubeThe information came from a Porsche dealer's portal site.
The Porsche dealer documentation states:
- End of production for all 982 models is currently planned for October 2025.
- 982 models continue to not include Autonomous Emergency Braking, therefore PDK volume is limited. Please encourage Manual Transmission where possible.
- RS models: Updated crankcase ventilation and DME software to comply with OBD legislation from MY25.
In other words:
- Production of all 982 models is scheduled to end in October 2025.
- The 982 models do not include automatic emergency braking, so PDK volumes are limited. We recommend the manual transmission whenever possible.
- RS models feature updated crankcase ventilation and DME software for OBD compliance.

alreadySales to end in early July 2024 in EU due to cybersecurity issuesHowever, if this leaked information is correct, it means that production of the ICE 718 model will end worldwide in October 2025.
For the time being, it seems that overseas media has also inquired about this to Porsche, but there has been no response at this time.
But if it's listed on the dealer portal, then maybe the dealers already know this ^^?
Hmm, but are the ICE Cayman and Boxster really going to disappear? I feel kind of sad.
