A hybrid version of the Porsche 911 has been rumored for years now. When the current 911 chassis, the 992, debuted four years ago, one of the big talking points was its gearbox, which has provisions for an electric motor. At the time, then-911 chief engineer August Achleitner said Porsche hadn’t committed to actually making a hybrid, yet much has changed since November 2018.
Speaking to Car magazine, Porsche (and Volkswagen Group) chairman Oliver Blume confirmed that a 911 hybrid is on its way.
