Luxury automaker Porsche has unveiled its plan to electrify its car lineup but will leave one iconic gas-powered product untouched.

Employees work on Porsche Macan during assembly at the Porsche plant in Leipzig. The automaker will begin series production of the E version of its successful Macan model in Leipzig in 2023. In 2021, more than 88,000 Macans with internal combustion engines had been delivered to customers. The conversion and expansion of the Leipzig plant is currently underway to prepare it for electromobility. Around 600 million euros are being invested, including in a new body shop and a dedicated axle production facility. Porsche is pursuing the goal of having all drive types come off the same production line. The Leipzig site is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. (JAN WOITAS/GETTY IMAGES)
