Porsche to end production of gas-powered Boxster and Cayman by the end of 2025

Porsche is set to end its production of the legendary gas-powered Boxster and Cayman ranges by the end of 2025, ending a 30-year legacy.

The duo of mid-engine Porsche cars have been a staple of the brand since the ’90s.

But as the European Union clamps down on the combustion engine, Porsche has been quickly trying to flip its production lines to become compliant.

With that, an electric lineup is targeted, and the latest series to make the switch is the Boxster and Cayman double-act.

Porsche has made a clear stance that it wants to be fully electric by the turn of the decade, having already trimmed down its gas-powered cars to a handful of long-standing series.

The German manufacturers previously sunsetted the Macan production in Europe as it phased out the combustion engine there, now only being produced in a gas variant in the Americas.

After sealing the Boxster and Cayman with the same fate back in 2022, Porsche has now made it official that these iconic ranges will also cease production with ICE.

As of October 2025, the final gas Boxster and Cayman will roll off the production lines.

The Boxster is the older of the two ranges, having been first introduced in 1996, powered by a 2.5-liter flat six-cylinder engine back in the day.

But both of these cars will now switch to an all-electric lineup, touted for release in late 2026 – ironically celebrating the mid-engine Porsche’s 30th birthday.

The news was confirmed by CEO Oliver Blume during the Annual General Meeting yesterday.

This move is to comply with European Union legislation, which is trying to clamp down on pollution from ICE.

People should still be able to order parts for their gas-powered engines, though, allowing for rebuilds to the model, such as this truly awesome Boxster amalgamation.

Now, the 911 series, the Cayenne, and the Panamera (hybrid) are the only models that are continuing production with combustion engines.

Due to the popularity of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 Panamera, though, Blume claimed that the company’s previous goals of having 80% of its sales be electric by 2030 were too optimistic. The electric transition will continue into the next decade.

Strictly speaking, this might not be the ‘last’ combustion cars of this range, as Porsche often dabbles in one-of-a-kind custom cars, likely special requests from celebrities and wealthy clients, which could see these cars get reintroduced to juicy gas in the future.

Next on the chopping block could be the Cayenne, and it will be a sore day when Father Time comes knocking on the door of the 911.

But for now, it’s ‘box box(ster)’ for the cars as they enter the paddock for an all-new electric makeover.
