The Porsche Taycan will not be among a raft of Volkswagen Group models tipped to be axed as the German automaker streamlines its business to stem losses, with Porsche also confirming the electric 718 Boxster and Cayman sports cars remain on track.
The previously reported plan included dropping models such as the Audi Q5 Sportback, Skoda Fabia and Cupra Raval EV, as well as Porsche's first dedicated production electric vehicle, the Taycan.
With the Taycan, we will further reduce the number of models [variants] and thus decrease complexity.
"With the electric 718, we came to the conclusion that we will build the model – because it is the best solution economically and will be a fantastic car," the Porsche boss said.
