2022 Porsche 911<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe also believe there are some packaging constraints, since despite growing over the years, the 911 is still a relatively small car, measuring a little over 4.5 meters (177 inches). A bigger battery pack would have obviously taken up more space in an already extremely tight space, so going down the non-PHEV route makes sense. That’s especially true since the longer electric range provided by plug-in hybrids would not be a priority for owners of such a machine.<\/p>\n
Oliver Blume did say the hybrid Porsche 911 is going to use technology derived from the exciting world of motorsport. That seems logical seeing as how the 919 Hybrid is a multiple Le Mans 24h endurance race winner, so expect some of the expertise obtained during the race car’s development to rub off onto the road-going 911 equipped with an electrified setup. Whether it will be a mild hybrid or something more advanced, it remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
As to when it will arrive, your guess is as good as hours. Automobilwoche<\/em> projects it will hit the market by the middle of the decade at the latest. In regards to a fully electric 911, Porsche has already made it crystal clear it won’t happen before 2030. In addition, the Zuffenhausen brand has promised the 911 will be the last model in the car industry to lose the internal combustion engine.<\/p>\nSource: Automobilwoche<\/a> (subscription required)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was only a few days ago when Porsche was seen at the N\u00fcrburgring testing what looked like a prototype of a 911 hybrid and now the news is officially out about the iconic sports cars being electrified.
