The famous Porsche 911 will be the carmaker's sole ICE-powered model on sale by 2030, according to some industry reports. Porsche has a plan to electrify 80 per cent of its car range by 2030 as it aims to lessen its carbon impact to support electric transportation.

The Porsche Macan will be the first model in the lineup to be electrified, followed by the Porsche 718 and the company's best-selling Cayenne. While the company is exploring alternate powertrain options, the popular 911, which represented 13 per cent of sales in 2022, will be manufactured using an internal combustion engine for as long as feasible.
