That's not all by 2025. That's half by 2025. That's very easily attainable by Porsche, particularly since its biggest sellers are its SUVs and the Panamera, which the Taycan aims to replace directly. All of those are partially VWs/Audis. Neither the 911 nor the 718 is partially a VW/Audi.

... but what's conveniently left out is the question of hybridization in the 911 (and, ergo, the 718). That, likely, will be reality by 2025, too. The entire lineup of both might not be hybridized, but I'd bet the majority will be.

Macan and Cayenne are obvious contenders for electric/hybrid drivetrains and I'm sure they will still be amazing as quickly as the tech is advancing, Porsche doesn't screw up many things. I absolutely love the Taycan looks, but I need engine noise so it's not my thing. Maybe I'll come around in a few years. It will be interesting to see how quickly the Taycan depreciates given the massive depreciation on the Panamera.
