Porsche ansluter sig till den mängd biltillverkare som nu sätter stopp, lägger ned kommande elbilssatsningar och gör en 180. Det var ju tanken att Porsche skulle rulla ut en lyx-SUV (projektnamn: K1) inom kort, som skulle drivas av el och bli deras nya flaggskepp. En konkurrent till bland annat Rolls Royce Cullinan. Den kommer inte att bli verklighet, meddelar biljätten nu. Istället ska denna SUV byggas med en bensinmotor i och eventuellt även en hybrid.
Oliver Blume, VD:
"Today we have set the final steps in the realignment of our product strategy. We are currently experiencing massive changes within the automotive environment. That's why we're realigning Porsche across the board. In doing so, we want to meet new market realities and changing customer demands."
New brand-defining vehicle models with combustion engines
"The product range is to be supplemented by brand-defining vehicle models with combustion engines. Due to market conditions, the new SUV series above the Cayenne, which was previously planned to be fully electric, will initially be offered exclusively as combustion engine and plug-in hybrid at market launch. In addition, current models such as the Panamera and the Cayenne will be available with combustion engines and plug-in hybrids well into the 2030s. New generations of successor models have been added to the Cycle Plan for these vehicle models."
