Next cars will be at least hybrid...end of an era for M cars as we know them.

When do we think Porsche will end conventional N/A non-hybrid engines?

My bet is the end of the 992 series.

Yeah it's like Mercedes AMG C63 going 4 cylinder hybrid, bleh! At least Audi still making the 5-cylinder for the RS3

if they can figure out charging and cooling at the track, I'm all for the electrification.

BMW M cars stopped sounding good about 10 years ago, so it's not like these will sound worse...

The only N/A cars that Porsche is doing now are the GT cars and the GTS 4.0 718s right? As long as people keep buying GT cars and they aren't legislated out of doing it, Porsche will keep making them. So my bet is 2035.

I am not looking forward to electrification.
