Porsche CEO says 918 succesor will only be considered after 2025
Despite being in the same stable as nameplates like
911, 718, Carrera GT, etc the Porsche 918 is one of the most sought-after products from the Stuttgart-based firm that may see its successor unveiled later in this decade.
“Before 2025, we won’t have a hypercar. Later on, it might be possible.”
This year has seen a multitude of hypercars introduced into the automotive market. From minuscule blossoming automakers to established automotive giants. According to Porsche CEO, Oliver Blume told CAR magazine Uk in an exclusive interview that a new hypercar (which may be the 918’s successor) may only be a reality closer to the end of this decade as the firm is dedicated to electro-mobility.
As is the case with predictions spanning several years, it’s all hearsay. Alongside the Porsche 918,
the Carrera GT and 959 stand alongside it as the firm’s few
hypercar-level offerings, which will likely serve as some sort of basis for a newer take on the hypercar formula.
“We will bring a hypercar when it’s time to bring it. So hypercars will play a role for Porsche in the future. But it isn’t decided yet” — Porsche CEO Oliver Blume
The sought-after Porsche 918 may be receiving a successor later in the decade according to the Stuttgart-based firm's CEO, Oliver Blume.
