On May 13, Porsche officially announced that the first hybrid 911 successfully completed the final research and development, and will make its world premiere at 21:00 on May 28, which is also the first hybrid product after the Porsche 911 (parameter | inquiry) came out 61 years ago.
The Porsche 911 Hybrid is about to go into series production after extensive development and testing, with engineers and test drivers driving a total of more than 5 million kilometres. In the performance test phase, the car set a lap time of 7:16.934 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, 8.7 seconds faster than the corresponding version of its predecessor.
"During the development process, we rigorously tested the new 911 in all weather conditions and on all roads around the world." Frank Moser, Vice President of the 911 and 718 model series, said: "Whether it's rough mountain roads that require a drivetrain to operate at high loads, or stop-and-go urban traffic environments, the new 911 is up to the toughest challenges. "During the development of successive 911s, testing and tuning on the Nürburgring Nordschleife have always played a key role. The test car was equipped with standard road tyres and an aerodynamic package including a fixed rear wing.
Judging from the exposed test spy photos, the hybrid model still continues the style of the model on sale, but it is expected that some details will be made exclusive design. At the rear, the new car is equipped with a continuous tail light cluster. The liftable rear wing and the huge mid-mounted twin exhaust give us that this 911 still has a strong power performance.
In terms of power, there are no details on how the specific hybrid system will be matched, but it was previously reported that it will be equipped with a 3.8T+ electric motor system. For more information, we are waiting for the official announcement.
