The German company Porsche had to prematurely stop production of its Boxster and Cayman sports cars due to new cybersecurity rules that will come into force in July 2024. In this respect he is writing motor1.com.
The company announced that the problems were caused by the cars’ electrical architecture not complying with new European cyber security standards. At the same time, improving the models will cost the manufacturer about half of the budget for creating a new car, so this solution will not be financially feasible.
It is stated that Porsche has previously decided to give up sales of the Macan gasoline crossover model in Europe. The publication also reminded that the fourth generation Boxster and Cayman are a fairly old product and were launched in 2016 under the internal codename “982”. At the same time, the first generation Macan was released even earlier, in 2014. The departure of these models from the EU will not greatly affect the manufacturer’s profits, but the latter were in high demand.
At the same time, the Cayman GT4 RS and Boxster RS Spyder models will remain on the European market for now – they are subject to concessions as they are produced in limited numbers.
