In a groundbreaking move, Porsche announces the imminent arrival of the first-ever Porsche 911 sports car for the road with a hybrid drive. After an extensive development and testing program, this innovative addition to the iconic 911 lineup is set to redefine dynamic performance on the streets.
“With the introduction of a hybrid drive system in a roadgoing 911, we’re entering a new era in the 61-year history of our beloved icon,” remarked Frank Moser, Vice President Model Line 911 and 718. “This performance hybrid elevates the 911’s dynamism to unprecedented levels.”
The journey towards this milestone involved rigorous testing spanning more than five million kilometers, covering diverse terrains and climates worldwide. From sub-zero temperatures to scorching heat, including the ultimate trial in Dubai’s unforgiving environment, every aspect of the new 911 was meticulously scrutinized. “Our engineers and test drivers left no stone unturned, ensuring that the new 911 mastered every challenge thrown its way,” Moser added.
Notably, the Nürburgring Nordschleife served as a proving ground where the new 911 showcased its prowess. Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister clocked a remarkable lap time of 7:16.934 minutes, a staggering 8.7 seconds faster than its predecessor. Equipped with standard road tires and the aero kit featuring a fixed rear wing, the new 911 demonstrated enhanced grip and power, attributed in part to its responsive performance hybrid system.
“The improvements in grip, power, and the instant response of the performance hybrid are game-changers,” exclaimed Bergmeister. “The new 911 has raised the bar significantly on the track.”
The global premiere of this groundbreaking model is scheduled for May 28th, 15:00 CEST, to be broadcast on the Porsche Newsroom at newsroom.porsche.com, as well as on Porsche’s official YouTube and LinkedIn channels. Viewers worldwide will witness the unveiling of a new chapter in Porsche’s illustrious history, promising an exhilarating fusion of tradition and innovation.
Stay tuned as Porsche ushers in a new era of performance with the introduction of the first-ever Porsche 911 sports car with a hybrid drive system.
