Porsche 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid

A few days ago, a video appeared on YouTube showing a Porsche 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid. For some it is expected, for others it is not. This is not the first 911 Hybrid since Porsche produced the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car, but it is the first road-legal.

In the video, which lasts a little less than two minutes, and which was shot on the Nurburgring race track, the car has no camouflage, so it can be concluded that the biggest changes can be expected under the hood. According to CarSpyMedia, the car will not have an 800 volt-electrical-system, as is the case with the Porsche Taycan, but a 400 volt-electrical system. The tinted rear windows hide the batteries located behind the front seats.

Earlier, the CEO of Porsche said that the 911 Hybrid should be the leader of the new generation of models from the 911 family (992). For now, there is no information about the performance of this car, but it can be guessed that it will be more powerful than the Turbo S model.

The introduction of the 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid is expected in 2023, while the first models should arrive on the market in early 2024.

Unique Porsche 911 GT3 made for Paolo Barilla

Once again, it turned out to be true that money can do anything. Porsche made a special model Porsche 911 GT3 for Paolo Barilla, who won Le Mans in 1985 as the driver of a racing Porsche 956B.

Paolo Barilla wanted the 911 GT3 to be done in the colors of the 1985 Porsche 956B. It took three years to realize the project, as Barilla waited for Porsche to build a new GT3 based on the 992 Series. The result was a unique Coupé in the colors of the winning 956B with the number “7” that had the original 1985 race car.

Among the details that make the 911 GT3 unique are the Barilla signature plates on the B-roof rack, the Le Mans track sketch sewn on the headrests, the sill plates, the new rear spoiler and the magnesium gear lever modeled on the lever from the Porsche 956B.

The price of the special model has not been announced, but it is clear that for the Deputy Chairman of the Barilla Group money was not an issue. According to Forbes, Barilla’s wealth is $ 1.39 billion, and the car was a gift for his 60th birthday.

Porsche three new limited edition models

According to some American media reports, Porsche has decided to expand its 992 generation with a limited edition of three new models.

The first of these should be called the Sport Classic. It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine from the 911 Turbo S version. It will have 640 hp (471 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the car up to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed PDK transmission. Unofficially, the Porsche 911 Sport Classic will be produced in 250 units.

The second version will be called the 911 ST and will be reminiscent of the Porsche model from the early 1970s. Like the original, the 992 ST will also have significantly expanded fenders. It will be powered by an additionally boosted 4-liter boxer engine from the current GT3.

The third model is the 911 RS with which Porsche will mark half a century since the introduction of the first RS. The reminder of the famous ancestor will be based on the 911 GTS model, which will make it much lighter and a bit more powerful.

The latest example of Porsche’s look back is the remarkably thoughtful 911R model created on the previous generation (991) with an atmospheric boxer engine from the 911 GT3 RS model and a manual transmission. The limited edition “R” quickly became the object of desire for which customers, who did not manage to secure their copy, paid much more than its official price.

There is no doubt that all limited edition models will be sold in record time.
