Yes, one’s a tyre kicker flogging used metal in Kent, but that’s about it.

Likewise I can't imagine that the new 718 will not be EV when BMW are testing their EV M3, and talking it up ...

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has to be fake news.
No that is real. Porsche have said they are going to, contrary to original plans, add ICE engine option to the new Boxster and Cayman too....as well as the Taycan and others. They (and other manufactures) are rolling back from betting the farm on EV only options.
There is absolutely no way they could “reverse engineer” an ICE Taycan. As has been said they’ve got the Panamera. 718 they can just keep making where all the regs allow although I think there are problems with EU sales.
It has been confirmed by Lutz Meschke, Porsche’s Chief Financial Officer, in an interview to Auto Drive Europe that Porsche are looking into this.

Where in this announcement did you read the Taycan is getting an engine and not the rest of the model range that had engines but were planned to become electric?
Lutz Meschke said:
We are currently looking at the possibility of the originally planned all-electric vehicles having a hybrid drive or a combustion engine. We are currently in the middle of making conceptual decisions. What is clear is that we are sticking with the combustion engine for much longer
There’s no doubt things have changed, but putting an ICE in a Taycan can’t be feasible?
Kinda pointless with the Panamera available anyway?
Scraping the electric Boxster platform would be equally huge, especially as the 718 can’t apparently be continued.

Agree, there's no way they convert the Taycan on its current platform to combustion.
However, the upcoming Boxster / Cayman EV might be doable. From the spy shots, it's pretty clearly on a 992-derived platform (contemporary Cayster and 911 have always been on a single shared platform until the current 992 was introduced and the Cayster wasn't updated) and also the Cayster EV isn't a skateboard battery, it's got a battery where the combustion engine used to be and I suspect like previous Caysters the front half of the car is largely shared with the 911.
Here's hoping, anyway.
As long as they don’t make a next gen 718RS with manual… I don’t care lol.
Tbf… it’s the end for the NA 9k engines, it was struggle for 992.2 GT3 just to kept parity… so with Lambda 1, anything new will have to be FI, Hybrid or BEV.
Is the thought process people prefer the slightly different looks of the Taycan to a Panemera? I don't really understand, as mentioned above its surely the same car?
Although, if this in some way eventually leads to a Panemera Turbo Cross Turismo wagon I'm here for it. My wallet won't be.

While I personally still think it's unlikely that Porsche has u-turned on the BEV Cayster or at least decided to add an ICE variant, the reality is that were that to happen there would almost certainly be a window of time where Porsche head office had made that decision but Porsche UK would say when asked that the next 718 will be BEV, full stop.
Decisions like that don't propagate out through a company like Porsche in an instant with a ready-baked PR narrative. What Porsche says in public would take a while to shift as the info is careful managed internally, then the PR bods work out how to spin it as a positive / try to make it look like it's all part of the masterplan / whatever.
In other words, a statement like that from Porsche UK can't really be viewed as definitive. But again, still think it's all a bit unlikely.

This eco loon / shill isn't bothered. Sadly I can't afford a Porsche EV despite the £2000 I get paid a month by China to annoy you. So I don't care what they do.
However, this pangs more of posturing for negotiation purposes rather than engineering reality. I honestly don't ever expect to see a Taycan with an ICE engine.
But time will tell.
I can't imaging that an ICE could be fitted to a car designed with Ev architecture.
Likewise I can't imagine that the new 718 will not be EV when BMW are testing their EV M3, and talking it up ...

Not quite. As I understand it they are hedging their bets with an EV M3 and an ICE M3 for the next generation Buyer to choose. Which strikes me as a wise strategy in these turbulent times.

I'm not sure I've ever met an actual "eco loon". I seem them talked about on forums and that's it. Most folk who I know who are more "eco" seem to deal with science and fact while most who against anything eco tend to make huge sweeping statements. I'm in neither camp. I can't see anything EV that I'd currently purchase so I'm more a ICE guy. I see FAR more ICE guys ranting than i do EV guys.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
