Porsche’s Next Affordable Sports Car Won’t Give Up Gas Power After All

For a while, it looked like Porsche’s future affordable sports car would go fully electric. But now, the story has taken an interesting turn. Porsche has confirmed that its next entry-level sports car will not abandon gas power after all, keeping driving purists very happy. In this video, we break down what Porsche’s decision means, why gas engines are sticking around longer than expected, and how this could shape the brand’s future sports cars.

Porsche 718 Cayman

so like… the Cayman’s still gonna be gas huh? I honestly thought Porsche was about to throw a full electric tantrum and ditch the noise, but nope. they’re keeping the good ol’ growl. kinda wild. it’s like watching an old friend refuse to download TikTok, you know? and I respect that. if you’ve got around $70k just sitting there collecting dust, man… there’s something romantic about revving this thing through a tunnel. the echo, the smell of hot metal. though honestly, it’s almost too clean. I miss when Porsches had a bit of danger. like, could randomly oversteer and ruin your day.

Porsche Boxster

I’ll always call it the “baby Porsche.” don’t yell. it’s true. but there’s this weird charm in it, like a scrappy little sibling who thinks they can out-jump the older ones. mid-engine balance, bla bla, yeah it’s great. but what I really remember is sitting shotgun once and almost losing my hat. anyway, they say this next one’s still gas, maybe around $65k? that’s not cheap but considering everything costs stupid money now (even sandwiches), it’s fine. I just hope they keep that weird faint gasoline+leather scent. you know? new Porsches smell too digital.

Toyota GR Supra

okay so, hear me out, the Supra makes me emotional. it’s like the friend who left for college and came back all different, speaking German. BMW engine, yeah sure, but damn it’s fun. $55k-ish and it still messes with your head. sometimes I daydream about winding roads and late sunsets, then the stupid infotainment screen ruins it. yeah, technology kills vibes. still love it though.

Nissan Z

this car feels like a movie you’ve already seen but watch again ‘cause it’s comfortable. around $45k maybe? it’s got that turbo punch that makes you say “oh damn” in second gear. but something about it feels old school in a lazy way. I like that. it smells like gas and vinyl and summer heat. those little details matter, man.

Mazda MX-5 Miata

this one’s silly joy bottled up. tiny, loud, not scary, just fun. if you’re sad, buy one. seriously. $32k maybe. it feels like driving your own heartbeat. top down, messy hair, no one can hear your problems. except you… screaming the lyrics to something outdated.

BMW Z4

I test drove one once, not mine, friend’s uncle or something, and yeah, it’s polished to death. like, I sneezed in it and felt guilty. costs around $55k, which, meh, for that money I’d want some chaos, not just comfort. feels like a gym bro who wears cologne too strong.

Chevrolet Corvette C8

okay… now this car is loud like a rock concert in your garage. $70k base if you’re lucky. the engine sits behind you like an angry puppy. it’s dramatic. I love that. but also, it tries so hard to prove something. like relax dude, you already look cool. no need to yell.

Ford Mustang GT

oh man, the Mustang. nothing logical about it. heavy, thirsty, loud, all the reasons I shouldn’t adore it, but I do. for around $45k it’s patriotism on wheels, burning gas like it’s free. the kind of car that makes you laugh out loud alone in a parking lot.

Porsche 911 Carrera

and then the 911. the forever one. the legend. starts around $110k (painful) but what are you paying for? routine perfection. they say this one too is keeping gas power, at least for now. but I kinda wish Porsche left one foot in chaos again, you know? the early ones were twitchy, exciting. now it’s like meeting your rockstar hero and realizing they meditate before shows.
