The Porsche 911 Hybrid should hit the market in 2023

The famous German car company Porsche is working hard on a hybrid version of its most famous model, which has been hiding behind the number 911 for decades. The car should arrive on the market in 2023.

After the electrified Porsche Taycan is accepted by customers, surpassing the 718 and 992 Series in sales, it is no longer a secret that the 911 will get its hybrid version.

In support of these claims are the facts that when presenting the current generation of the 911 (992), Porsche introduced a platform adapted to accommodate a hybrid system with batteries and an electric motor. The car is supposed to use a 400-volt battery unlike the Porsche Taycan which uses an 800 volt battery, and should be equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is also used in the Panamera.

Recently, images leaked showing a test prototype of the 911, on the Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack, with a yellow sticker required during testing of hybrid models.

The specifications of the hybrid 911 are not known at this time, but some suggest that they should be better than what the 911 Turbo S has to offer.

A $ 1 billion fine for BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche

German carmakers BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche have received a “gift” from the European Union in the form of a $ 1 billion fine.

According to the EU, they avoided competing in the development of technology that would limit pollution from cars with petrol and diesel engines. It is the first fine that the EU has imposed on holding back the use of technical developments.

EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said: “Manufacturers deliberately avoided to compete on cleaning better than what was required by EU emission standards. And they did so despite the relevant technology being available. ”

Volkswagen believes that the investigation has shown that certain forms of cooperation do not violate the antitrust law. The EU’s decision violates the existing legal basis because it sanctioned cooperation in the development of technology as a violation of antitrust rules, according to VW.

EU rules allow companies to cooperate in the introduction of new technologies to increase efficiency. Reportedly, the companies agreed on the production of smaller tanks and the driving range that could be expected before the tank needs to be filled.

BMW claims that the talks did not affect decision-making and that it will reduce allocations for lawsuits due to unsustainable allegations, although they have prepared $ 1.7 billion for that purpose.

The penalty was not imposed on Daimler, because they revealed the alleged agreements of other manufacturers.
