Default Stop of Diesel sales (Panamera, Cayenne, Macan)

obviously it is not such a big issue in the US/UK, but: just read in a german Porsche forum that Porsche stopped last week (based on a supervisory board decision) the sale of all Diesel cars.


not that I personally miss them that much, but: for the Cayenne the share of Diesel cars in Europe was almost 2/3 of all sold Cayennes.


Also the Panamera had a quite high stake of total car sales.


Curious, if economically this decision will have a bigger impact on the total revenue of the Company, but I think it does.


Nevertheless, a strong decsion from Porsche!


PS: Panamera Diesel was de-listed from the Car Configurator last week.

interesting! the UK gov have mandated that no petrol/diesel cars will be sold from 2040 (as have France i believe).
i think we need to get rid of the wife's ML diesel before they're basically worthless.

Wow, you're right, they have disappeared from the UK configurator, that's a big step and pretty crushing to those that bought the diesel!!

Not so sure about it not being a big issue in the UK. Here the biggest seller is the Macan. So far, the vast majority of Macans bought here have been diesel. Diesel sales might be dropping off a bit, but dealers are still selling decent numbers of diesels...

UK configurator - Panamera Diesel has disappeared but Diesel S Macans and Cayennes still available to configure...

And no diesel 911...
