前几天的一则消息，为一个时代画上了句号： 保时捷正式关闭了燃油版 718 Boxster 和 Cayman 在全球范围内的订单通道。 这个决定其实并不突然。早在 2024 年初，欧盟一项严苛的新规就迫使 718 在欧洲市场退场。 如今，这份告别，终于延伸到了全世界。 虽然保时捷不再受理新的订单，但位于祖文豪森和奥斯纳布吕克的生产线还会运作一段时间，他们眼下的任务，是完成所有的积压订单。据说，这项工作 要持续到 2026 年才能收尾。 可以肯定的是，最后一批驶下生产线的燃油 718，从交付的那一刻起，就会成为收藏市场追逐的对象。 其实按照保时捷的原计划，燃油 718 谢幕的时间点本应更早一些，只是一些计划之外的变数，让这款备受欢迎的小跑车多续了一年的命。 但无论如何，该来的总是会来。 燃油 718 的终点，也是 718 的新起点：它的纯电版本。 旧的不去，新的不来 718 这条产品线的换代节奏，实际上早就被打乱了。之所以会这样，是因为两个原本不相干的问题，意外地碰到了一起。 一边是燃油版因为外部法规，不得不提前退场；另一边，被寄予厚望的纯电继任者，又因为自身和供应链的问题，没能准时到场接棒。 先看燃油版这边。 ...

Core Viewpoint - CATL has recently sold its 20.6% stake in Valmet Automotive, marking the end of its 8-year overseas investment, which reflects a strategic shift in its European ambitions and the completion of Valmet's "nationalization" [3][9]. Group 1: Valmet Automotive's Transition - Valmet has accelerated its battery system (EVS) business, with its battery module production line in Salo starting operations in 2019, achieving a production capacity of 800,000 units in 2023 and surpassing 2 million units cumulatively [4][5]. - In 2023, Valmet's EVS business revenue exceeded €1 billion for the first time, despite a 21.8% year-on-year decline in its traditional automotive contract manufacturing (VCM) revenue due to the termination of the Mercedes GLC production line in June 2022 [5][6]. Group 2: Market Challenges and Opportunities - The demand for fuel vehicles in Europe is declining, and while electric vehicle contract manufacturing has higher profit margins, Valmet faces insufficient new orders due to slower electrification progress and an overall downturn in the European automotive market [6]. - In 2024, European BEV sales are projected to be 1.993 million units, a 1.3% year-on-year decrease, with Finland's BEV sales dropping by 30.3% [6]. - Finland's electric vehicle average price remains higher than traditional fuel vehicles, and the country offers less subsidy and tax incentives compared to neighboring countries like Sweden and Denmark, impacting growth [6]. Group 3: Finland's Strategic Positioning - Finland is among the first countries to release a national battery strategy, focusing on building a complete value chain from raw materials to battery manufacturing and recycling [7]. - The extreme environment in Finland has driven battery technology innovation, and the high penetration of renewable energy is promoting large-scale energy storage [8]. - Valmet plans to spin off its battery business into a separate subsidiary, IONCOR, which will further enhance its position as a leading independent battery system supplier in Europe [8]. Group 4: Government Involvement and Future Prospects - The nationalization of Valmet reflects the Finnish government's intention to gain greater influence in the electrification sector, with the government already holding a 70% stake in IONCOR and committing an additional €20 million investment [9]. - Collaborative projects, such as the Keliber lithium project, aim to establish local production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide, providing essential materials for electric vehicle battery production [10]. Group 5: Implications for Chinese Enterprises - The strategic adjustments in Finland suggest that Chinese companies need to adopt more flexible strategies to enter the European market, including joint ventures and technology licensing to meet EU localization requirements [11][12]. - Long-term strategies should involve integrating compliance requirements into the entire lifecycle of product design, production, and recycling, as well as establishing R&D centers and brand ecosystems [12].

Core Viewpoint - Porsche's 718 gasoline version will be discontinued in October 2025, transitioning to an electric model, which may impact its current market appeal and customer base [4][42]. Group 1: Discontinuation of 718 - Porsche's 718 gasoline version will cease production in October 2025, as confirmed by Albrecht Reimold [4]. - Existing orders for the 718 will still be fulfilled, but new orders will be difficult to place after the discontinuation [5]. - The future 718 model is expected to follow the electric vehicle trend, similar to the Taycan [6]. Group 2: Market Position and Appeal - The 718 is considered an entry-level sports car for Porsche, but its performance and specifications may not attract wealthy buyers or those seeking value [11][12]. - The 718 has been popular among social media influencers and micro-business owners, often seen as a status symbol rather than a performance vehicle [16][18]. - The car's design and performance characteristics, such as its mid-engine layout and flat-six engine, contribute to its appeal, despite its mixed reputation [21][25]. Group 3: Historical Context and Financial Implications - The 718 name has historical significance, originating from the 718 RSK race car, and has been crucial for Porsche's financial recovery in the past [22][35]. - The introduction of the 718 aimed to reduce production costs by sharing components with the 911, making it more affordable [33]. - The 718's production was also a response to financial difficulties faced by Porsche in the early 1990s, where losses reached 2.4 billion German Marks (approximately 10 billion RMB) [31]. Group 4: Regulatory and Technological Challenges - New EU regulations on cybersecurity (UN R155) pose challenges for older gasoline models like the 718, as their electronic architecture does not meet the new standards [37][39]. - The cost of updating the 718's systems to comply with these regulations is nearly equivalent to developing a new vehicle, leading to the decision to discontinue the model [40]. - The shift to electric vehicles is seen as a necessary evolution for Porsche to remain competitive in the automotive market [51].
