Caption: Next Porsche Boxster And Cayman To Feature Six-Cylinder Hybrids. Porsche is set to end production of the current-generation Boxster and Cayman this October but the next models are shaping up to be a mix of electric and hybrid combustion versions. Initially, Porsche planned for the 718 lineup to be fully electric, but reports suggest the “top” versions will retain combustion engines now paired with a hybrid system similar to the latest 911 GTS. The new 3.6-liter flat-six engine is slightly shorter than non-electrified 911 units, making it suitable for the smaller sports cars. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder will be discontinued, as it cannot be adapted to meet Euro 7 regulations. Porsche plans to offer only six-cylinder variants for the next-generation 718, positioning them as premium models above the electric versions. While production of the current generation is ending soon, the replacements are not expected until near the end of the decade. Porsche may market them as continuations of the Boxster Spyder RS and Cayman GT4 RS, maintaining their status at the top of the lineup.
