    ICE will be Discontinued | EP 233

    Are you part of the Pcar Club? No? This is only part of the episode. Join at www.Patreon.com/pcartalk Podcast Episode 233 Porsche has announced that it will be discontinuing the ICE Boxster and Cayman globally in 2025, a decision that was anticipated for Europe but is now confirmed worldwide. This marks a significant shift towards EV models as the future of mid-engine sports cars for Porsche. Speculation arises about potential price increases for special variants such as the Cayman R, anniversary Boxsters, and Spyders as these ICE models are phased out. Will there ever be a comeback for ICE mid-engine cars within Porsche, or are they gone for good? Similar to the period without mid-engine cars after the 914 was discontinued. Comparisons are drawn to the cycle of shutdowns and reboots in the automotive industry, like the history of the Camaro being killed off and revived multiple times. Despite some auto manufacturers slowing down EV production, Porsche seems to be accelerating its transition, raising questions about the rush towards EV technology. Concerns are raised about Porsche's decision to cut the Porsche leasing program for non-executive employees within the VAG group, potentially signaling a shift away from previously generous employee perks. The move raises questions about the financial health of Porsche and whether this signifies a challenging period ahead for the company and the broader auto industry. The decision to limit access to Porsches may impact employee morale and the company's image as an employee-centric organization.
