For decades, buyers looking to park a Porsche sports car in their driveway could choose between the Boxster, the Cayman, and the 911. However, as Weissach continues its shift towards electrification, the ICE-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman have been killed off.

The decision isn’t a complete surprise. Enthusiasts have known about the models’ eventual demise for a while, and in some regions, they were already removed from sale. Now Porsche has confirmed that order books worldwide are officially closed. For those still hoping to buy a brand-new example, the only option left will be unsold stock sitting with dealers.

Although new orders are no longer being accepted, as reported by Autocar, Porsche has yet to confirm when production will officially stop. Some reports suggest it could take until 2026 to complete the backlog of 718 Cayman and Boxster builds already on the books. While the company hasn’t addressed those rumors, the final cars to leave the factory may well end up as sought-after collector pieces in the years ahead.

As mentioned above, the writing has been on the wall for the two models for several years. In early 2024, Porsche was forced to stop selling the Cayman and Boxster in Europe because they failed to comply with cybersecurity regulations and it deemed that wasn’t worth updating them to current standards.

An Electric Future

While the ICE-powered 718 twins we know and love is dead, the Cayman and Boxster names will live on as Porsche is currently in the midst of developing all-electric versions of both. Prototypes have been spied testing frequently during the past two years and the production models are expected to launch by 2026.

It’s understood that Porsche will sell the new models in single-motor, rear-wheel drive, and dual-motor, all-wheel drive versions. There’s no word on tech specs just yet, but it stands to reason that they’ll be quicker than their predecessors.

However, while we trust the German brand to ensure the driving dynamics will match those of their predecessors, making them stir the same kind of emotions with an electric, instead of a combustion, powertrain may prove a hard task.
