In November last year, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume announced that the company was working intensively on a hybrid model of the popular 911. It is a new generation of models from the 911 family (992). The car is currently in the final stages of testing, and should arrive on the market in 2023.
The design of the new 911 Hybrid is well known, as we could see it in spy photos. On the front bumper there are two large air intakes with vertical slats, while on the sides there are still unusual lights that we saw on other Porsche prototype models. At the rear, camouflage and snow hides a lot, but we can see the centrally placed exhaust pipes.
What has been unknown so far, and what could only be speculated about, is the powertrain. New information says that the car will not be PHEV, which was confirmed by Oliver Blume. This would mean that it will be equipped with a small battery, and that the owners will not have to plug in to charge the battery. Rumor has it that the Porsche 911 Hybrid could have over 650 hp (478 kW), but this has not been confirmed.
Porsche’s plan is that, by the end of the decade, the share of cars with ICE in sales will be only 20 percent. Also, Oliver Blume tickled the imagination by saying that there could be surprises with GT models when it comes to hybridization.
