It has rear seats for a reason.
Although it might surprise you, Porsche first unveiled a hybrid 911 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. It wasn’t a road car, but it was a 911 GT3 R Hybrid that was designed for endurance racing. It featured a Williams-developed kinetic-energy recovery system (KERS), and two electric motors that worked with a flat-six, 4.0-liter engine.
A year later, a new model was introduced called 911 GT3R Hybrid 2.0. It features more power from the dual electric motors and a lighter car to make it more competitive at the Nurburgring 24H. Multiple reports have speculated that Porsche would introduce a road-going 911 with hybrid powertrain in the future. However, this has never been confirmed. Now, in the second half 2021, it appears that the electric machine from Zuffenhausen may be closer. Although it appears to be a standard Turbo-based prototype vehicle, the yellow sticker at the top-left corner denotes that the hybrid test vehicle was used. The inconspicuous work in progress vehicle was spotted at the Green Hell with the rear and side windows completely blacked out. Our spy informs us that Porsche wanted to conceal the batteries located where the 911’s barely-useable rear seats would normally be. According to Oliver Blume, Porsche CEO, the new 911 Turbo E-Hybrid is believed to be the Porsche 911 Turbo E-Hybrid. The Porsche 911 Turbo E-Hybrid will place performance above efficiency according to a statement. According to Oliver Blume, Porsche CEO, it will likely use a 400-volt system.
Blume continued to say that a hybrid 911 would have “a very high power [output] with very large performance and driving ability.” Porsche stated that an electrified derivative was possible, possibly with the current generation’s facelift (992.2), but that a pure electric vehicle will not be launched in this decade. Blume previously mentioned that a hybrid variant of the high-performance 911 would be the best-performing 911 of all . It would be the top-of-the-line model, positioned above traditional flagships such as the turbo-spinning Turbo S or the track-focused GT2 RS. The CEO of Porsche also stated that it would be a regular hybrid so owners won’t need to plug it in.
