So far, official photos and video footage from the final tests and measurements taken at the Nürburgring Nordschleife have been published. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is powered by a 4-liter V6 engine with 450 hp (331 kW), which is 36 hp more than the GT4 model. The same engine uses the GT4 model but with 414-hp (304 kW) and 317-lb-ft (430 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission with two clutches (PDK), and it is still unknown whether a manual transmission will be offered.

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.
