New European Union cybersecurity regulations aim to protect the electrical architectures of new cars from hacking
The same new cybersecurity requirements in the EU led to the premature death of the Porsche Macan. Next-generation 718 Cayman and Boxster models will be available with battery-electric powertrains. The Cayman GT4 RS and Boxster RS Spyder are exempt from the new rules due to their limited production. Porsche will have to axe the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman in the European Union because they will not comply with new EU cybersecurity laws set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
“The main reason for this is the General Safety Regulation of the European Union , to which the platform will not be converted. Any models that do not meet these requirements will no longer be eligible for new registration in the EU after the beginning of July 2024.
