An insider says Porsche is worried about the Macan EV's long-term sales, so a new ICE model might become necessary.

A new report from Autocar cites a "senior" Porsche insider saying the company is not entirely confident that the new electric Macan can fully replace the gas model: "The reception to the new Macan [Electric] has been positive, but we are yet to see its long-term performance, given uncertain market conditions." Zuffenhausen has reasons to be concerned, considering Taycan deliveries plummeted by 49 percent in 2024.

With shifting winds, they’d be wise to review their plans. Between China’s slowdown, the US (once again their primary market) cutting green initiatives, and the promise of a free-for-all market, an ICE Macan — even if it feels like a step backwards — might not be such an illogical move. Guys, the roaring ‘20s and excessive ‘80s seem ready to make a comeback.
