The billions in costs for the combustion engine extension have almost completely eaten up the profits of the German sports car manufacturer Porsche 2025. Earnings after taxes fell by 91.4 percent year-on-year to 310 million euros, the company announced.

The Stuttgart-based group’s major problems are the slump in sales in China, increased US tariffs and a misjudgment of the pace of the switch to electric cars. Many buyers of sports cars continue to rely on combustion engines, which is why Porsche is again concentrating more on the production of conventional cars.
According to statements made at an analyst conference at the end of January, the car manufacturer expects a further decline in sales for 2026, but the return is expected to recover to more than 5 percent.
