Throughout a name with analysts, the top of finance Lutz Meschke stated “important worth will increase” are deliberate to come back into impact in mid-2023 for the 2024 mannequin yr.
He went on to specify the next-generation Macan coming subsequent yr solely in EV type will command a 10-15 % premium over the present mannequin.

Lutz Meschke additionally stated the 718 electrical replacements due round 2025 will even be as much as 15 % dearer. The zero-emission Boxster and Cayman will exchange the ICE fashions from day one.

The gross sales figures again up his assertion as Porsche beat the percentages in a difficult 2022 and offered 309,884 automobiles or 2.6 % greater than the yr earlier than. Extra particular editions are deliberate because the German luxurious model has realized there’s a robust urge for food for limited-run automobiles, which is why the Sonderwunsch (particular request) program will probably be expanded.
We might argue the one factor lacking from Porsche’s lineup is a brand new hypercar, however a 918 Spyder successor is not coming anytime quickly. The Zuffenhausen marque has stated a “hypercar is all the time part of Porsche’s technique” and a brand new one will arrive solely “when it is time to convey it,” in keeping with chairman Oliver Blume. It positively will not occur earlier than 2025.
