Porsche could eventually once again shoehorn a flat-six into its smaller sports cars, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Sure, it could be possible that the next 718 will receive a combustion engine option running on e-fuels at some point, but it’s also possible that you could be killed by a cow. Porsche claims that “In the medium term, it will only be available as an electric model.” So that’s the medium term but what about the long one? However, it might not be powered solely by batteries forever. The small 718 sports car is going battery-power-only for the next generation, which is expected to arrive in the next few years. In a few years, Porsche will pull the wraps off of its most ambitious electric model yet. The Next 718 Will Be Electric For A While Porsche claims that the fourth-generation Cayenne will “underline Porsche’s goal of delivering more than 80 per cent of its new vehicles as all-electric models in 2030.” Figure seven years or less until we see the EV Cayenne, so if you want a combustion-powered one as a tow rig, you might want to adjust your timeline. However, it turns out that an electric Cayenne is coming sooner than we might expect. What’s more, it’ll have a next-generation interior that Porsche claims will offer “a completely new experience inside the vehicle.” Key markets for this flagship include China and the United State of America. Not only will it be positioned above the Cayenne, it’ll ride on Porsche’s upcoming SSP Sport platform. We also knew that Porsche is working on a massive new electric SUV and Porsche has provided some details on that.

We all knew that Porsche would make an electric Macan, and Porsche re-iterated that the electric Macan is coming in 2024. Without further ado, here’s what Porsche has planned in the coming seven years or so. Porsche has pulled the wraps off of its longer-range business plan and unlike Tesla’s four-hour filibuster earlier this month, it the plan involved a bunch of announcements on products like an electric Cayenne, plus it defined business plans that should make a ton of money.
