Porsche has confirmed its timeline to kill off its entry-level models, revealing that its most attainable combustion-powered cars will end production earlier than previously anticiapated. The company's Head of Production confirmed that the ICE-powered Macan will be killed off in non-European markets in 2026. Albrecht Reimold told the German publication Automobilwoche that the platform had reached its end.

Porsche Is Putting Its Most Attainable Models To Bed Earlier Than Expected

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.

Porsche Kills Its Best Car

Disc brakes were hardly a new technology in 1962, as Jaguar and Dunlop had tested the concept in the crucible of motorsport as early as a decade prior at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Up to this point in the company’s history, Porsche had been using tried and true (and cheap) drum brakes, even on all but a few of its racing cars, but the company wanted to build a winning Formula 1 car for the 1962 season and needed better brakes. Instead of paying Dunlop to license the technology, Porsche set about engineering its own system, and making it lighter.

Back in 2014, Detlev von Platen, then CEO of Porsche Cars North America, was quoted by Autoweek as saying, "At Porsche, our entry model is pre-owned." In other words, if you’re looking for an “affordable” Porsche, your best choice is a used one. However, this raises the question—can you buy a used Porsche sports car for about the same money as a new Toyota Prius Prime, without going broke trying to keep it running?

	In 2016, I had the privilege of sitting next to renowned automotive designer Marcello Gandini at a dinner hosted by Lamborghini in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its iconic Miura. We talked, through an Italian interpreter, about coachbuilder Bertone’s first design for the Raging Bull marque in 1966, penned by the then-28-year-old Gandini. To my surprise, he humbly confessed to having some reservations about a few details of what is, inarguably, the most beautiful Lamborghini ever made. Imagine Leonardo saying, “Her mouth was a little crooked, actually,” in reference to his Mona Lisa masterwork. Mustangs, Miatas, and Packards: Here's...

Which element’s go into designing the world’s most expensive cars? Just ask 36 year-old wunderkind Mate Rimac. When he built his first electric race car at age 19, the Croatian did not expect it to lead to his becoming CEO of pinnacle boutique automotive manufacturer Bugatti. But this is where he ended up as just 36, introducing the world to the famed Italian/German/French automaker’s latest seven-figure ultra-hypercar, the $4 million, 1,800 horsepower (hp), Tourbillon.
