Production numbers will not be strictly limited, and nor has Porsche put an end date on production of the new variant. UK pricing has yet to be confirmed, but a list price in Germany of €151,215 suggests it will land here at somewhere above £130,000, commanding a small premium over its coupé sibling.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in July, following the car’s public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Q&A: Markus Atz, project manager, Porsche GT cars
What reaction do you expect to the final ICE 718?
“I think it will be an instant classic because it’s the last combustion-engined 718 model line – and the pinnacle of it… Twenty-five years ago, the 986 Boxster started with 204hp. Now we have 500hp in the same package – nearly – as 25 years ago. So that was really good, and fast, development in 25 years.”
Why does it have to be the final ICE 718?
“Euro 7 sets in in mid-2025 and there was a decision of whether we would develop the engine according to the Euro 7 regulations, or change the model line to battery-electric drive. The 911 will stay with a combustion engine. And the 718 then, probably, is the battery-electric alternative, depending on the market.”
