Porsche confirm 2021 983 will be FULLY electric!
Discussion
The 992 will be on sale for longer than that I reckon - look how long the 991 has run. In any case the first step will be hybrid - for the sports cars anyway, though they may produce something fully electric in the early '20s.
Anything Porsche produce in the sports car range will be a very good car - they haven't failed us yet anyway so I have faith!
Either way, I'm very happy to have a 991.2 GTS (picking it up a week today), and I won't be looking to change it for several years at least - if it's as good as everyone says I may keep it indefinitely.

I think it'll have to be much sooner than that. "Late 2020s" is only a decade before UK ban of new internal combustion sales; Porsche are entering formula-e and will want to sell some road cars on the back of that; Porsche dropped the flat 6 from the Boxster / Caymen already, showing they're not wedded to a specific powerplant for that model.All electric mainstream sports car will be here soon.

The 'ban' doesn't include hybrids, so all it means is that from 2040 new cars will have to have electric assistance. New Panamera Turbo s Hybrid would still be ok, for example. (As would a 918..) so not as big a deal as some would say, All electric mainstream sports car will be here soon.
Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if Porsche do make a fully electric sports car before end 20s, as that is 10 years after mission e comes in,
Well the future is looking good for petrol cars then?
There are some countries in south america that are having problems shifting there oil supplies. One could consider the petrol car that you have today to be a cheap car to run in about 10 years. In theory, the road tax won't change for your petrol car. But electric cars are about to go zooming up as the road tax depletes, and an additional levy will have to be paid for charging points.
Either that, or income tax will rise to cover the loss of fuel duty.
An electric car today costs a lot more than a petrol or diesel cost to buy. Dont think for a moment that this is the best thing since sliced bread, cos it isn't.
Money will need to be made to cover roads, and we will still be paying for it, not the government!
Oh dear, what have I done 😝😝😝😝
Gadgit.

We as a country cannot support electric cars. If we have a normal british winter this year, we cannot support electric homes!
We have 2% spare at best. Power cuts this winter if it is cold..
Get real for god's sake.
The future is hydrogen......

Or... petrol. Where do you think it comes from? Things still rot into the ground and turn into oil far, far, faster than we can turn oil into petrol.
It's true! I know because an American told me this when I was over in Florida last month. V8s will help save the planet by delaying the deluge of oil before it overflows the ground and drowns us all.
A minor rant. We have an inept government be it all political parties including the t
ts in the EU that could not find their way out of a paper bag / run a piss up in a brewery.
Worst ways it takes you 10 minutes to fill your tank save for the bar steward that decides he/she wants coffee and doughnuts blocking the pump.
60% of what we pay at the pump I believe correct me if I am wrong goes to the government coffers in fuel duty.
The national grid is struggling as it is.
Show me a working EV articulated lorry that works.
Show me a manual gearbox EV.
An EV evokes as much passion in me as simulated sex. Not something I have ever tried mind you.
I'll stick to with something that bangs, wheezes and farts.
Diesel I have always hated with a passion.
tts that signed up for that BS deserve what they will get.
Just touching a diesel pump or being behind such a poisonous vehicle should have told you all you needed to know. Heinous.
The art of claying a petrol engine cannot be bettered. Everything else is synthetic.
