For the US at least, since it's not known to Porsche yet, I don't think anyone can tell you

I went to dealer and asked yesterday and salesman had no news but suspected this is the last model year...2024. Of course, in the absence of information it is the safe assumption, especially when they have cars on the floor to sell at a "get the last one" premiums.

All articles have indicated that the ICE and the EV will be made simultaneously for a period of time. If that’s the case, and since there is a stop sale for the EU this July, I’d assume there should be reasonable production and supply of Caymans for at least another year. Same with the Macans.

I ordered my 2024 Cayman S last June. If I remember correctly, information was already out about the 2024 Cayman/Boxster model year (plus 2024 price hikes) this time last year. It makes you wonder if there will be a 2025 model year for the ICE Cayman/Boxster or if the 2024 model year will just be extremely long.

Huh? I just visited the Porsche website I don't see anywhere you can configure a ICE Macan, just EV's. Am I missing something?

It's on the Porsche USA website.

For the sake of those awaiting an allocation (albeit now with even more limited options...don't get started on them changing the steering column from power to manual), I think the Macan and 718 being dc'ed in the EU will be a nice windfall.
I also think that we are already starting to see the pendulum swing away from the EV-mania and that Porsche will have plenty of 718's for the diehards that were on the fence a little too late.
It took me two years to get my CGTS and I'm quite thankful to have gotten an allocation this late in the game, regardless.

Based on the fact that the PCA raffle is a grand prize of a 718 GTS and this is an allocation build slot that doesn’t get awarded until June, I think production has a ways to go yet.

agreed.

there is just no way porsche won’t make a MY 2025 for North America, for all of their ICE 718 models (other than the regular Spyder/GT4).

Porsche has stated they will sell the ICE 718 alongside the EV for a little while. Being that the EV hasn't even debuted as of yet, it really makes me wonder what Porsche has in mind for the future of the 718 lineup wise.

As many 4RS and SRS with Weissach pkg as the market will bear (without discounts) + a smattering of Base/S/GTS for “the little people” = 4400.

Per year.

That’s what the voices in my head say.

Just put in a 718 Boxster build last week, and my local dealer speculated it might be a '25 vs a '24 model year. I'm skeptical about that possibility, but it is very hard for me to believe that Porsche won't be offering ICE 718s (and Macans and ...) - at least in the USA - for as long as they possibly can.
