Porsche has announced its 718-badged models, the Boxster and Cayman, will not be available in the EU due to safety concerns. This follows on from a similar issue that will end the Porsche Macan’s availability in Europe at the beginning of July 2024 - the same off-sale date now given for Porsche’s mid-engined sports cars. 

 

The UK does not adhere to the same EU legislation imposed in this instance so the Boxster, Cayman and Macan will all remain on sale here. The EU’s new cybersecurity laws come into force in July this year and any models that do not meet the requirements will no longer be eligible for registration.
