Porsche"s next hypercar is likely to be pure-electric, according to CEO Oliver Blume. "We have a big history here, and we"ll have one in the future," he told TG.com during the reveal of the new Cayenne Coupe (pictured after the 918, above). "It has to be the best in the market, the highest performing right now we haven"t got a concept for that car. But might it be a pure-electric car? Yes." This likely 918 successor would top out a Porsche range that is about to undergo a dramatic transformation. The pure-EV Taycan will debut in September, adding a third pillar to the company"s powertrain strategy, alongside the existing petrol engines and fast-growing plug-in hybrids. The Cross Turismo arrives in 2021, and the next-gen Macan will appear at the same time, in EV and petrol iterations. Around 20,000 customers have each placed a 2500 deposit on the Taycan, prompting Porsche to revise its production targets for the car.
