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

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 the case of the Porsche 924 Turbo Targa, there was no production run at all, as only one car was built before the project fizzled out.

Finished in Alpine White with a tartan-patterned interior, this one-off example still looks like it just rolled off the production line. According to the odometer, it only moved under its own power for 328 kilometers or just over 203 miles. Let’s dive into the history that led to the creation of this unique prototype.

If the big three luxury German automakers showed the industry something, it’s the fact that an in-house tuning division helps sell vehicles and boost the overall brand image.
