Porsche simply revealed the new, second-generation Macan, and it’s all electric. It looks as if a daring transfer for Porsche, going EV with its best-selling mannequin, however the firm is hedging its bets. A Porsche spokesperson confirmed to Motor1 that the gasoline mannequin will stay on within the US for the foreseeable future.

As previously reported, the spokesperson additionally confirmed that internal-combustion Macan gross sales will finish in Europe because of a new cybersecurity law coming into effect in July. Being one of many oldest merchandise in Porsche’s portfolio, the automaker would wish to develop a brand new electrical structure to make the internal-combustion Macan compliant. A prohibitively costly endeavor, particularly when you think about the funding made into the electrical Macan.

In the US, vehicles need not meet these new necessities. That means Porsche can promote the internal-combustion Macan right here, and the spokesperson tells us it should achieve this for so long as there’s market demand and rules enable. But, Porsche will not replace the automotive from its present type.
