Porsche has ruled out building a fully electric 911 for the foreseeable future, opting instead for hybrid powertrains that will be used in the next-generation 718 Cayman and Boxster.
The decision comes as Porsche faces weaker EV demand and a shift in consumer readiness for electric vehicles.

Porsche will continue to offer everything, with gasoline, plug-in hybrid, and full electric powertrains available across its lineup.
The company's strategy reflects a focus on performance and driving experience, rather than solely on environmental concerns.
The 718 Cayman and Boxster will be the first models in the lineup to take the EV road, followed by other members of the range.

The company's decision is a reflection of the brand's commitment to its heritage and performance.
