This particular UNECE reg is opt-in, the UK hasn't opted in. Porsche GB has confirmed they will continue to sell the 718.

Yes, I don't see how that makes any sense, but apparently the RS models are considered ultra low number series, and are exempt...

So Porsche will keep selling ICE in the UK but not the EU. Great.

But it’s to do with the UN not Brexit? If the UK was in the EU surely they would also have to adopt the regulations?

Thanks for posting the clarification. Would certainly appear a benefit of leaving the EU then despite some rather confused posts / misinformation posted earlier. Good result!
