Hot! Porsche: What's Next

[Design FIRST]

I'm wondering what Porsche has been planning for the future Taycan and Panamera.

Top” ICE derivatives is clear: RS-only models in the ICE lineup which means that Porsche’s entry point for sports cars being EV remains the most likely prospect.

I'm confident that top derivatives is referring to their most profitable units aka the GT4 and GTS 4.0.

GT4 RS market has softened significantly faster than the regular GT4 therefore I don't think they're solely referring to the RS

Two new gas and hybrid powered SUVs. I assume the D-Segment SUV is the one that based on the Premium Platform Combustion Q5.

The SSP Sport architecture being put on the back burner is not free of risks. In fact, what is now perceived as "alleviating risk" may evolve into a measure that actually promotes it. Of essence is the development of the most highly modular architecture possible. Nearly limitlessly scalable. And able to accomodate BEV, REEV and ICE Hybrid powertrains with the greatest possible assembly line flexibility.

IMHO, banking on a secure mid-to-longer term future for ICE PHEV is risky. Current range anxiety and perceived auditory deficits as deterrents BEVs are diminishing quickly, the client base that perceives these as "problems" being reduced. Also partly due to "natural attrition". As placing all eggs in the "BEV powertrain basket" is currently risky, this especially with regard to the continued rapid place of innovation that has yet to reach a plateau in which PURCHASING customers can feel secure that they have not bought something that could be obsolete in 1-2 years time.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Interesting on the take up between ICE and Electric 718. Good decisions though. Our industry fighting back against the watermelons in power.

Watermelons?

Watermelons?

Green on the outside. Red in the inside.

Frankly, the often ideologically dogmatic , often highly emotionalized politicization of the ICE vs. BEV debate is proving detrimental to all involved and is too frequently devoid of rational, pragmatic, forward focused input. It is absolutely silly and it obstructs rather than promotes progress.
