Volkswagen Group is preparing to slim down, and some Porsches may pay the price.
Last week, the international auto conglomerate announced plans to “gradually” streamline its lineup of vehicles by “up to 50 percent.” Volkswagen Group has yet to announce what brands or models would be affected by the new cost-cutting strategy, but a new report claims that up to four Porsches may be at risk.
Over the week, German newspaper Bild (via Motor1.com) published a list of 10 VW Group vehicles that could be headed for the chopping block. Of those, four are made by the Stuttgart-based sports car maker: the Taycan, the Cayenne Coupe, and both gas-powered coupe and roadster versions of the next-gen 718.
The gas-powered version of the next-gen Porsche 718 is said to be at risk.
