Porsche 911 Hybrid spy photos exposed, total system power reaches 700 hp

IT House June 19 news, Youtuber @Automotive Mike has now released a video of the Porsche 911 hybrid version, which will be released in 2023, being tested at the Nürburgring.

According to previous rumors, the total power of this car’s hybrid system may reach 700 horsepower. It is worth mentioning that the new car will be equipped with a traditional gasoline-electric hybrid system, rather than the current plug-in hybrid system commonly used by European brands.

Unlike the Panamera and Cayenne E-Hybrid, the upcoming sports car will be a non-plug-in hybrid that can be recharged from a power source.

The YouTuber found different prototypes in the Nürburgring and snow-covered Sweden. The new town gets new round LED headlights that look odd, and the front air intakes have vertical elements behind the bumper’s horizontal trim pieces.

In addition, both test cars have centrally mounted exhaust tips, and the vents also look new. In the prototype car photographed in Northern Europe, it also has a bunch of wires hanging from the passenger seat.

IT House has reported that Porsche is working with Quantumscape to develop an electric version of the 911 model with a solid-state battery.

In a financial conference call, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume revealed that Porsche will deliver more than 300,000 vehicles worldwide in 2021, of which 41,296 will be the pure electric version of the Taycan, which even surpasses the gasoline version of the Porsche 911.

While Porsche expects its electric vehicles to account for more than 80 percent of its annual sales by 2030, the all-electric 911 will be hard to come by anytime soon. Additionally, the company has said it wants the iconic rear-engined model to be the last car in the automotive segment to lose its engine.

Meanwhile, the smaller 718 Boxster and Cayman will also say goodbye to the ICE in 2025, when the next generation of sports cars will be fully electric, as will the Macan.

Based on the information obtained before, the new car may be based on the Porsche 911 Turbo, and it may be named “911 Turbo E-Hybrid” in the future. The reason why the conventional gasoline-electric hybrid system is chosen is because this design has a more ideal weight. This prevents the new car from being too heavy.

In terms of power system, the Porsche 911 hybrid version will be equipped with a hybrid system consisting of an engine, an electric motor and a battery pack. The battery is placed under the seat to obtain a more ideal front and rear axle counterweight. The total system power is expected to be about 700. Horsepower, pure electric range is less than 20 kilometers.
