Porsche Confirms 718 GT4 and Spyder Dead for 2024Porsche

Earlier today, we brought you news of a big price increase for the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman lineup. In that story, we linked out to a post on the Rennlist forum with a document from Porsche that indicated the 718 Cayman GT4, Spyder, and T models were being discontinued for 2024. Porsche confirmed that this is, indeed, the case. Twenty twenty-three is the last model year for the GT4, Spyder, and T models.

"The 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder, along with the 718 Boxster and Cayman T models have enjoyed critical acclaim and been a success with our customers," a Porsche spokesperson told Road & Track in a statement. "Limited production phases are a natural part of the process and part of the overall product strategy. With the 2024 model year these models will run out of production while all other models will continue."

The GT4 and Spyder were both products of Porsche's Motorsport division, which is responsible for 911 GT2 and GT3 models, and currently, the Cayman GT4 RS. A Boxster twin to the GT4 RS is on its way and will fill the void created by the Spyder, while the hardcore Cayman will continue its run. The 718 T models were special versions of the base Boxster and Cayman, pre-packaged with otherwise-optional sports features and unique styling elements. Those are being replaced by the new Style Editions.
