Porsche recently announced its plans for the future that include meeting a long-term goal, carbon neutral by the end of the decade. Many Porsche models are already in the process of partial or full electrification, but it seems that the legendary 911 could be saved from that.

A Porsche 911 without a petrol engine would not be the same, and the company seems to be aware of that as well. According to recent reports, Porsche is investing an additional $ 75 million in increasing synthetic fuel production. The company believes that synthetic fuels will sustain internal combustion engines for years to come, at least when it comes to special cars.

In a recent press release, Porsche Board Member for Research and Development Michael Steiner said: “Different regions of the world are adopting electric mobility at varying speeds, meaning vehicles with combustion engines will remain on the road for decades to come.”

Porsche is part of a powerful group that also includes Siemens Energy, AME, Enel and ENAP, which have been working on the development of eFuels for years. The Stuttgart-based company will build an eFuel plant in Chile. The intention is to produce 130,000 liters of eFuels by the end of this year, which Porsche will primarily use in motorsport racing. So far, synthetic fuels are used in the GT3 Cup and 718 Cayman GT4 RS cars.
