Hybridizing the 992 was always part of the plan
It’s official: 2024 is the year the Porsche 911 goes hybrid. Yes, you read that right. Porsche has confirmed its perennial sports car will go part-electric this year and spearhead a quartet of new releases in the process. Traditionalists, look away now.
Hybridizing the 992 was always a part of the plan, since it was deliberately constructed with more empty pockets of space over the 991 to store batteries. Its eight-speed gearbox is also purpose-built to be compatible with an e-motor, which should also mean a substantial torque increase.The current model is offered with three flat-six powertrain displacements—3.0-, 3.7-, and 4.
Elsewhere, the Taycan’s replacement has also landed with improved range and performance. Porsche certainly did itself some favors ahead of the revamp, with its most powerful production car ever, the Taycan GT, smashing a series of circuit records over the last few weeks.The final two products scheduled for this year are the second-generation Macan and the third-generation Panamera. The Macan EV has been teased for some time now, and will also continue to be offered in its traditional guise.
